A large portion of the l20 pages of
the magazine consists of correspond

The chief aim Of the June number
Is to show that the Lodge bill, or the

advise The early shipments OF Christ
mas presents. A conversation with
Mr.. r. 8. Pierson, the local agent
this morning, relative TO early ship
ments, brought out the fact that the
inauguration of early shipments was
made several years agosand the results
were that early shipments intended
for gifts were always delivered in
good time and saved much disappoint-
ment to both the sender and recipient.
When shipments are allowed to re-
main till the last few days, transpor-
tation companies are unable to fur
nish facilities TO carry the matter
and the result is a rush of business
which the company does their utmost
to deliver on time but is attended with
many disappointments. Do not wait
till the last moment to let your goods

ROBINSON.--In loving rememo1sne |,
of our dear son and brother, hoh
RRT w. J. ROBINSON, who q
parted this life one year ago TO-DAY
December s, 1911.
Oh how sudden was the moment
When word came that be was dead
For he who left us full OF life
Was brought home to us dead.
How hard we tried to save you,
PRAYERS and tears were all in vain
Happy angels came and bore you
From this world of toll and pain.
We often sit and think of you
When we are all alone,
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.
Alone in the silent graveyard
Meath the sod and the dew.
Never for one moment forgotten
In sorrow we think of you.
A beautiful life is ended
A dc ar brother il laid to rest,
Safe in the arms Of Jesus
Safe on His gentle breast.
BY FATHER AND BROTHERS.

STUART. The following fitting
memorial has been adopted by the
Sunday-school District Convention.
of Macomb county, Mich, of which
the deceased. MRS. ELVIRA THANK
Full STUART, was one of the. prime
movers.
Mrs. Stuart, who was the mother of
Mrs. John White, wife of Professor
White, of St. Johns College, met a
tragic death year ago at her home
at Chesterfield, Mich, where she was
killed few days before Christmas
by being struck while crossing the
street by an automobile.
rhe following tribute has recently
been sent members of the family:
Is there, then, nothing but black
ness and heart breakings connecting
our thoughts with death when He
takes from US our fairest and dearest? ?
You who have been bereaved in the
past year what is your answer? Have
you not heard the voice of the COM
forter saying The last enemy that
shall be conquered is death. Precious
in the sight of the Lord is the death
of His saints. Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord from henceforth.
Yea, saith the Spirit, for they res t
from their labors and their works do
follow them. The toll of death on our
Sunday-school workers and members
of this convention the past year has
been heavy.
"Mr. Elvira Thankful Stuart, whose
tragic death was so sudden and Sc
we're shock to her family and friends,
was born in Chesterfield in 1888, and
died December IL, 1910. The greater
part of her life was spent in the
township where she was born and
died. She was a woman of more
than ordinary natural gifts and her
pen was often called into service in
various ways for others. In the Civil
War many letters were sent into the
soldiers camps to cheer and to en-
courage the homesick and the far
away ones, and bereaved and stricken
ones turned to her to solicit some
thing which would express their
grief and sense of loss at the depar-
ture of their friends. IT is the be-
lief of one who knew her we'll that
she wrote more obituary notices than
any other person in the country. She
was one of the prime movers in the
organization of this Sundays chool
district, was active in Sunday -scheoI
work, taught her children to love the
Sunday-school, to reverence Gods
word, to hallow the Lords day, and
gave them the example of family
prayers and of grace before meat.
"The testimony of her daughters
is that as a mother she was all one
should be, and what higher enconium
could be than that her children shall
rise up and call her blessed. -

ROBINSON. In memory or my hus-
band, ROBERT WILLIAM ROBIN
SON, who died one year ago, De-
cember s, 1911.
Dearest father, how we miss you,
Since from earth you passed away
And our hearts are aching sorely,
AS we think of you each day.
Gone in the best of his days,
Blighted in manhood's bloom,
Gone from the hearts that loved him
To sleep in the silent tomb.
Farewell" dear father, IS an awful
word,
Which pierees mothers and children's
heart
But oh, it is the will Of God
Our dearest ones must part.
Gone from earth, yes, gone forever,
Tear-dimmed eyes shall gaze in vain,
We shall hear his voice, nc never
Never more on earth again.
How sadly we have counted the hours
That measured one sorrowful year
Since they laid him meath a mantle
of flowers
Our father, whom we loved so dear.
