Helpful Service Provided at SheIterino Arms by Rev. H. J. Wyckoff and Choir of Second Church-FuneraI ot Miss Lipptt

Rev. H. J. Wycl1off and choir of the second Congregational church were at the Sheltering Arms Sunday after noon The subject of the address was The. Silver Lining. Most of us think or clouds as making the world dark, he began; the clouds of this afternoon or those of trouble, loss, anxiety. But beyond these overshadowing us this afternoon the sun is shining in the western sky. To God our troubles are seen on the other side. If we by an act of faith could get Gods point of view we should see the light shining on Gods clouds. We think of loss, but on that side it is gain. Of the cloud land of hardship and trial, God has spoken through His Son: All things work together for good to those who are called according to His promise
 Especially enjoyed were the solos, Suffer Little Children, by Miss Jessie Clifford; Trusting in the Promise Christ Has Made Me. Adam Heinrich and The Lord is My Shepherd. Miss Stephenson. The fourth member of the quartette was George Stanton. Miss Louise Fuller was at the piano.

POETRY
THE SONG OF OUR KIND.

From end to end and rim to rim, The vast world breathes the selt-sams
 hymn.
 The notes are loud or hushed and low: The song abides, the singers go, The stars of night and sun of day Shine on the harps that ever play. The burden of our song is brave The music of lifes ebbing way, The hope is trem mulous-death $ head A-noddlng time till time is fled. Our hands clasp true, and from their The chords disperse their tuneful gold. And now a melody of days, And endless days, and planning ways, And finding means, and filling dreams, And reaping fields and watching And catching bliss-that earth-coy Gone ere the twig breaks sound is
 heard
 And now a throb of sledge and steel, Of thunder breaking peal and peal, The duVliS ciaSh, ti.- .trOle or DiaWn The chatter of the steeds of dawn, The 'shuffle of this mortal coll, The Scurry of the tread of toll| And then quiet lullaby, 4 bay where ships at harbor lie, A cemetery of the rose, A sleeping. ground of fallen snoWM A sheaMng still, a silent toll A requieScent of the soul. Joe Mccormick, in the Cedar Raptsss
