In Memory of Henry E. Porter

Whereas, through His inscrut-
able provid ence God has sent
His Death Angel ard has taken
from the Alpha Wesley Class
our venerable brother, Henry F.
Porter; therefore be it
Resolved. That while we bow
in humble submission to our
Heavenly Fathers will, we can
but mourn and emphasize our
peculiarly distinctive less. Truly,
the hand of affection was laid
heavily on him; and through all
these weeks and months and
years of sf1iction he patiently
endured as seeing Him who is
Invisible" and through it all we
have the pleasing consciousness
that our frequent tokens of class
brotherhood and christian fellow
ship frightened and blessed
many of his darkest hours, while
through his steadfast loyalty,
patient endurance and christian
devotion there came back to us
messages that touched the ter
derest chords of sympathy and
love in the hearts of the members
of the class. We tender to the
bereaved our sincerest sympathy
and take comfort with them in
the blessed assurance that our
dear brother, free from pain and
anguish, has now entered into
that eternal rest that remains
to the people of Cod" How
blest the righteous when he dies!
$50 fades a summer cloud away,
So sinks the gale when storms are
Ger,
So gently shuts the eye of day,
So dies a wave along the shore"

Is THERE A SANTA CLAUS?

Every Christmas season for 10
years, the New York sun reprinted

Church, who died some years ago
and it was written hastily, in the
course of a days work without the

editorial:

and generosity and devotion exist.
and you know that they abound and
give to your life its highest beauty

be the world if there we're no Santa
Claus. II would be as dreary as if
there were no Virginias. There
would be no childlike faith then, no

THE JUNK Bon.

My father often used 20 say:
My boy don't throw thing away:

SO in box he stored up things
Bent nails. old washers. pipes and

And bolts and nuts and rusty
springs.
Despite each blemish and each
flaw.
Some use for everything he saw;
with things material, this was law.
And often when he'd work to do
He searched the junk box through

IL seems 10 me he understood
That men. as well as iron and wood,
May broken be and still be good.

He never threw a man away,
But kept him for another day.
