fare was his life's aim. He was
their prop, their support at every
stage of life's journey. No mat
ter what shortcomings a man IS
possessed of, if he loves his wife
and family, if his whole ex-
istence is centered in making
them happy, he has a virtue

That man who makes his wife
and children happy, is the proud
possessor of an Empire which
no Monarch of the olden time,
no Kingly authority can compare
with.
It was Burns who wrote:

Of honor and of years. The
world is better that he should
have lived, poorer that he died.
He died as he had lived, with
out fear, without reproach.
When the pale Archer with the
inverted torch beckoned him for
ward, he did not quail. With
the courage of a hero, the forti-

the approach of the inevitable

Ere the first day Of death is

The first dark day of nothing

The last Of danger and distress,
Then marked the mild angelic

The death change comes
Death is another life. We bow

Larger than this we leave, and

Mrs. Todd, was Fannie Louise

this place, where she is kindly
remembered as a charming, edu-
Gated, and attractive girl, and an
accomplished pianist. After her

Missionary Notes
BY THE SOCIETY.

1t is very gratifying to know
that the people Of Mexico are
still in favor of the mission
schools.
Villa informed Miss Wilson
that unless she did not open Pal
more College by the Goth of Au-
gust that he would open a school
there himself. The Mexican
teachers will carry on the work
until conditions in Mexico are
more settled, while Miss Wilson
and the other missionaries will
continue the school at Ell Paso.
This is the month that all
schools in our missions, Florida
and Mexico, begin their fall
term.
Let this month be a month of
special prayer that the teachers
may be blessed with the power of
the Spirit and that the students
have receptive hearts.
