The following are some forceful and
helpful scripture lessons which 7
would be pleased to have nv many
friends read while thinking of me
Psalms 81: 1-2-9-17-24-37.-Rey. Sister
Pearl.
Did you give her a lift? She is a
sister OF man and bearing about all
the burden she can. Did you give her
a smile? She was downcast and blue
and a smile would have helped her IN
battle it through.
Did you give her your hand? She
was slipping down hill and the world
SO fancied was using her i'll. Did Won
give her a word? Did you show her
the road? Or did you Just let her 20
on with her load?
Do you know what it means IN no
losing the fight, when a lift in tina
might set everything right? Do YOU
know what 1t means Just a CLASH of a
hand. when a woman's borne about all
a woman ought to stand?
Do you ask what il was vvhv tba
~quivering lips, why the half suppressed
SOD n the scalding tears drip. were
you sister OF her when the time came
Of need? Do you offer to help her or
didn't you heed?

In the death of Prof. R. w. Foster
Kansas City and the state loses one
of it's most capable and valuable citi-
zens and educators. Prof. Foster lived
the same life that he taught-the life
of a christian gentleman with high
ideals and noble purposes. In his in
terpretations OF life he was simple and
puritanic, disdaining anything below
the level of strict manhood. He was
brave, positive, safe and absolutely
dependable in all the relations of his
life, and he always stood by his con
victions, regardless Of their popular
ity or unpopularity. Scarcely a pub
lie movement for the good OF the race
has been launched in this city during
the last thirty years that has lacked
his most enthusiastic support and his
favor has been sought because of his
rare discernment and fine judgment.
IN these respects and many others he
has left an imperishable imprint upon
the community life of u people In
