ct singeth low in every heart
We hear it each and all
A song of those who answer not
However we may call
They throng the silence of the breast
We see them as of yore,
The kind, the true, the brave, the
sweet
Who walk with Us no more.
IT'S hard to take the burden up
When they have laid it down.
They frightened all The joy of life,
They softened every frown.
But, oh. it's good to think of them
When we are troubled sore,
Thanks be to God, that such have been
Although they ere no more.
More home-like seems the cast un-
known
Since they have entered there,
To follow them were not so hard
Wherever they may fare.
! They cannot be where God is not
On any sea or shore,
! Whatever betides thy love abides
Our God forever more.
Sleep, Uncle Eben, tits not goodbye.

COMMONS IN WILD DISORDER
Premier Is HowIed Down When He
Attempts to Obtain Considera-
ton of Veto Bill.

London.-Scenes of wild disorder
marked the session of the house of
commons. Half a dozen times the
premier arose to move consideration
of the lords amendments to the par
liamentary bill and each time he was
howled down by din SO terrific that
the speaker had difficulty in making
himself heard as he appealed to both
sides to observe parliamentary de-
corum.
After trying for three-quarters of
an hour to get a hearing and finding
himself unable to prevail against the
uproar, Premier Asquith cut short
his projected speech and amid a
hubub declared that If the lords would
not consent to restore the veto bill,
even with reasonable amendments, to
substantially its original form. the
government would be compelled to in
woke the exercise of the royal prerog
alive for the creation of new peers. n
Unable to restore order Speaker
Lowther declared the sitting sus
pended.
