Nothing equal to this war was ever
seen before. 1t will be long time
before the vitality, the means and the
disposition for another war can any
where exist or appear BY that time
the hope is that man will have by
processes of evolution, come to see
the futility of war, how it rights NO
wrong, redresses no grief; but leaves
the victim crushed, the victor worse
off than he was before. This is not
altogether and merely a hope. There
is reason behind it if there be any
real progress in human thought.

The allies have at their command
siege artillery which renders perma-

steel absolutely obsolete is greatly to
of frontier fortresses at the out of
which the French placed upon their

France has so far failed in spite of
the fact that the Germans we're
equipped with siege guns
which rendered the French fortresses

which will render the German for

DEATH OF A LITTLE CHILD

We are sorry to chronicle the death
of the dear little son of Mr.. and Mrs.
R. NJ. Long, which occurred at their
home on the night of December 10Th,
1914.
This dear little boy came into the
dear home of his parents on Deem
Der 10th, 1914. He made glad the de-
voted hearts of his father, mother
and sister for only three days when
the death angel came as it were
and plucked the beautiful and cherish
ed flower from the fond hearts and
home and carried it to decorate the
courts of endless bliss. 1t was tiny
flower faded. For two nights and
a day life and death were struggling
for the mastery. Finally death won
the victory after all that human
hands could do to prevent it and sent
sorrow and care of sin-strickened
world, and the spirit of the little one
returned to the God who gave it.
Thus he left us with the sweet re-
memberance of little one much be.
loved and we shall miss his sweet
baby face so many times and he will
never be forgotten by those who
stood by him with their tear-stained
precious spirit. 1t was not without
a glorious thought as we gaZed upon
the little form as it lay so peacefully
and quietly in it's final bed that no
more pain would ever torture that
precious soul and body again and
though in death we could well be
proud of him for we knew that he was
at rest and in peace with Jesus.
We commonly say Gods will be
DONE" and in doing Gods will we will
meet him beyond this vale of tears.
He was precious rosebud and his
short, sweet life had so entwined its
tendrils around the hearts of those
who kew him that they were hard to
be broken. Though only a little child
he left many sad hearts to mourn his
long absence.
He was too precious to live here
so the Lord took him to his mansion
in heaven.
May this sad incident bring the
God in Christ nearer those bereft.
Many are the affections of the right
eous but the Lord deliverth them out
of them all. So weep not sorrowing
ones as those that have not hope for
you can go to him. Although sorrow
full was the parting, joyful will be the
meeting.
The little body was laid to rest in
the Pats Island cemetery by the side
of its grandmother
