"All things that are on earth shall
wholly pass away, except the love of
God, which shall live and last for
aye Although still in the spring
time of life, our beloved sister has
gone before to await US in those I'M
known realms beyond the mysterious
river of death
"GlIde softly to thy rest there,
Death should come gently to one
OF gentle mould like thee.
As light winds wandering through
groves of bloom,
Detach delicate blossom from the
tree"
A pleasant companion, faithful
friend a willing helper, and duti-
full daughter, she leaves to fell her
loss most poignantly. father,
mother. brothers and sisters.
I'VE know not what 1t is. dear, this
sleep SO deep and sim.
The folded hands. the awful calm.
the cheek so pale and chill;
The lids that viii not lift again
though we may call and call.
The strange white solitude of peace
that settles over all.
The child who enters life comes not
with knowledge or intent,
So those who enter death must go as
little children sent
Nothing is known. But | believe that
God is overheard;
And as life is to the living. so death

Resolved: That we extend to her

their bereavement.

Cause of the Roman Empire.

The reason why the Roman empire
succeeded the republic" was that
there was felt to be an urgent need
of a strong central power. For many
years the republic had been desolated,
and the cry Of the whole people was
for peace-peace ut almost any price.
Now, peace could be secured only by
the ascendancy of single man, rul-
ing with absolute and irresistible
sway. SO the people acquiesced in the
change. They even hailed it with joy
A few patriots like Brutus and Cato
gave UP in despair, but most men were
pleased with the revolution which
made Caesar supreme-not that they
were monarchistic at heart BUT that
after the devastating strife they want
ed peace. even though it be at the sac
rifice Of some OF their lberties-St.

A trip by steamboat on the Kongo

voyage OF twelve days. The boats,
small stern wheel affairs. carry from
twenty TO thirty cabin passengers each.
On the lower deck are the black iray-

captains are Swedes. Russians or Ger.
mans. and the engineers are picked up
in Sierra Leone. Two companies run
boats, and several of the mission sta
lions have steamboats, of their own
besides.
Some of the boats have small dining
rooms. others set the tables ON deck.
protected from the sun by awnings.
The food is not luxurious. and very
little fresh meat is TO he had. The
fuel is wood, and every five or six
hours the boat must stop to replenish
the supply from heap of cut sticks
on the bank. These piles of wood are
made by natives or by scattered trad
ers. often where no habitation is near,
and in such cases the captain pays for
the wood by putting money in box
that the trusting woodsman has pro.
vided for the purpose.
Every boat carries drum. and rs it
approaches an inhabited district the
drum is beaten to tell the natives that
goats, fruit or vegetables are wanted,
Every night the steamer ties mp against
the bank, and all the black passengers
go to sleep on shore. But they devote
most of the night to merrymaking and
keep those on the boat rs wide awake
