TRIBUTE OF THE CHRISTIAN
BIBLE SCHOOL TO J. E. COVER
Christian Church Bible School.

SHTlSJldH OHuICH DlDlt DIilOOAs
Pennington, Mo-, Dec. &c, 1915
On the morning of December 20,
1915, Joseph E. Cover, beloved Secre-
tary of our Bible School, in that abid
ing faith which is "the substance OF
things hoped for, the evidence OF
things not SEEM" passed triumphant
ly out of the temporal habitation of
this earthly life into the fullness and
glory of the life eternal-into the
peace and joy and rest reserved for
the faithful in Christ. His life among
us was one of pure motives and high
ideals, of cheerfulness and encourage
ment, of love and service. We can
not think of him as gone out from
among US, for as the scent of the rose
hangs round the shattered vase, so
the perfume of his gentle life fingers
with us, sweet remembrance ever
to be cherished in our hearts.
But in our finite way of reasoning
we feel that something is gone out of
our lives, the touch of the hand, the
music of his voice, the kindly glance
of the eye, and the shadow of sorrow
hovers about us like cloud that will
not be lifted. We sense it here in our
school, but oh, how much more in
tense the weight of sorrow that press
es down on the hearts of his beloved
and bereaved wife and daughters,
the lonesomeness of the home where
his cheerful presence gladdened the
hearthstone, where lie ashes for joy,
where flow tears for the wine of life;
and the very soul Of our Bible School
goes out to them in sympathetic tears
and a great heart desire to share and
tighten their sorrow.
And yet, should we not rejoice that
our ashes are turned to JOY in the
knowledge that
"There is no death; what seems so is
transition;
This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call death"
And that while we, in the reaches of
our finite vision, are not permitted to
see beyond the veil, our faith in the
promises of a blessed Redeemer as
sures us that all is well with Brother
Cover.

Mr.. Highland convincingly showed

water works officials does not cease
with the delivery into the street
mains under adequate pressure of a

department knowing intimately by its
own investigations and by chemical
analysis the character of the water
furnished consumers Is in the best
possible position to give practical
advice regardinSs matters of public
concern and that heretofore too little
