Dearest Roy thou hast left us, and
thy little form we miss,
But when God saw best to call the to
better world than this
He sent down his guardian angel stop
ped your suffering and your pain,
Took you home to be with Jesus new.
Ter to be sick again.
Your sweet life was like a flower.
blooming here to make us glad,
But when death plucked off that flow
er then our hearts were torn andsad
Then we heard the Savior calling suf-
fer them to come to me,
And forbid them not he sayeth for Of
such my kingdom be.
When we placed you in the little cask
ct white as snow,
We remembered little Pearlie who
had left us years ago.
He was but q tiny flower plucked in
infancy away,
But we know you're both with Jesus
in the realms of endless day.
Oh father, mother, sisters dear you
have promise given,
Although they can't come back to you
you can meet themsup in heaven,
Where they are shining as the stars
on yonders goldern shore,
There will be q glad reunion then
and you shall part no more.

MOT. ALL FLOWER CROWNED
Ornaments of Brides Vary in Different
Countries-German Wreaths
Mostly in Myrtle.

The custom of crowning the bride
with wreath of some kind is OBJ
served in nearly all parts of the world,
the usage varying but little, even
though there are few other common
customs because of variation of ideals
and degrees of civilization. Where
flowers are readily obtainable. flowers
are used for this purpose, but quite
n variety of flowers are used, the
choice being dependent on what the
particular nation regards as most SYM

England, France and America llnd
orange blossoms the ideal crown for
their brides. while pink carnations ana
red roses deck the brides of Spain.
The bridal wreath in the IOnian isles
is made from vine leaves. In Germany
the wreaths are Of myrtle. though IN
the. Black forest hawthorn is used.
and in Bohemia rosemary. is the IA
vorite. In Pesth ribbon and artlhciai
flowers are blended in a gay mass.
Switzerland makes its bridal wreathS
off white roses.
A few nations use crowns rather
than wreaths, and the Norwegian,

are sometimes very handsome and
even beautiful. In Bavaria and Silesia
there may be seen bridal crowns OF

Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low,

A voice we loved is: still;
A place is vacent in our hearts,
That meyer can be filled
While we are here SO lonely,
Elsie is sleeping meath the sod,
Yet her soul is safe with Jesus,
Resting In the arms Of God.
Earth has lost its looks of gladness,
Heaven seems to US more bright,
Since the spirit of our dear one.
Took it's happy homeward fight
And we long to cross that river,
Long forest upon that shore,
There to see. and know and love them
With the Savior evermore.

We miss you since you are gone
We hope to meet you in that home,

FORM ONE BIG ASSOCIATION
Chinese Family Of Wong in Montreal
Combine for Mutual Benefit and
Business Help.

Z
We live and learn, and some OF our
learning comes from unexpected
sources. If all the Smiths and all the
Joneses were to organize themselves
into a mutual benefit and charitable
society, 1t would at least be consid-
cred q somewhat novel proceeding, yet
that is exactly what Is being done In
Montreal at the present moment By the
Chinese. Members Of the Wong fam
lily of China, who have left their ma
tive land to seek their fortunes here,
have formed themselves into the Wong
Wun Sun association of Montreal the
object of which is to assist all Chi
neSe bearing the name Of Wong af-
nicted by sickness. accidents or re
verses of fortune. All the Wongs bear
some degree of relationship to one an
other, and as the association already
has some 300 members and expects
more, it is probably one of the largest
families on record. The association
;loes not confine itself to helping those
in sickness or distress, but goes far
Their. If Wong is desirous of start
ing up laundry or some othersbusi-
ness and Is not possessed Of the neces-
sary capital he goes along to the other
Wongs at the weekly, Saturday meet
ing and presents his case and if he
proves his good faith the money is
Forthcoming. In fact, In every gen.
uine case Of q member of the family
business assistance is given. The idea

IN REMEMBRANCE.

Dearest Rosa thou has left us,
Here our loss we deeply feel.
But twas God that has bereft us;
He can all our sorrows heal.
Oh how we;miss you Rosa,
AS we think of you as gone,
And with tears we see the vacancy
AS we gather round your home.
She is sleping, sweetly sleeping,
And her trials have been born,
And she's waiting. calmly waiting.
For the resurrection morn.
Oh! the @.iYlor is so precio:.a,
He's our comfort, and our stay.
May we eyer follow Jesus,
In the strait and morrow way,
Farewell Rosa we have laid thee
In the silent tomb's embrace,
Meier again in life's pathway
Shall we look on your dear face.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
In that blessed home to come,
Where therell be no. pain or sorrow,
But eternal rest and love.

Great Names WorthiIy Borne

Somebody of an inquiring mentality
and a good stock of patience has been
examining the personnel of the United
States army and makes the interesting
discovery that whereas there was only
one George Washington in the army of
1776 there were seventy-four George
Washingtons in the army of 1917-191S.
Two Ulysses S. Grants and five Ulysses
Grants took the field against Prussian-
ism; and with them marched seventy
nine Robert E. Lees, an impressive
tribute, by the way, to the enduring
quality of the affection and admiration
that the great southern general in
spired.
