BY MRS. s. P. STUBS

In this work for God and home
and every land we are with the
tide of eternal Progress
which will sweep the world and
leave it clean and fair and
strong. We have a right TO say
that we are with this tide which
is sure to win. Though. now
and then our hopes and plans
are beaten on the reefs of igno-
rance and opposition. But like
the waters of the sea, there are
always more hopes and plans at
hand, and back of every bold
little wave comes the strong.
true tide lifting its crest like a
white banner for the salvation
of humanity.

Died

Kermit, infant of j. A. anC
Ethel Barton, was born July 6,
1911, and died April 10, 1912. al
$3.50 O'Clock a. M, of relapse
from measles. Kermit was a
sweet beautiful child, lovable,
affable and pleasant. He was a
ray of sunshine come to cheer
ish us for only a Few short
months and then passed to the
portals beyond the grave to
reign with the angels evermore.
Could we but be permitted TO
draw the conditions and pass in
TO the celestial realms and see
him at Jesus feet we would
rejoice instead Of mourn at the
transit of little Kermit, from
earth to heaven. We stood by
the bedside and watched the
tiny thread of life grow weaker
and weaker until ITS spirit winged
its way to God Who gave it.
We shall miss him
We shall miss him.
There will be one vacant place,
But the angels are a singing,
To welcome his smiling face.
