But a few years ago a concert in
town the size of Delta by so famous
an artist as several who have appear
ed here in the last year or so was not
only unheard of but undreamed of.
Now Delta is fortunate in having
enough music lovers who are anxious
to hear the really worth while music
ians to support concerts by artists of
the first rank. Through the efforts Of
Miss Wynne Killian several numbers
viii be given this winter in Deltat
The first of these is a concert to be
given Saturday, November s, at the
high school auditorium, by Miss Flor
ence Macbeth, acclaimed as one OF the
greatest singers of all time.
From all over Western Colorado
music lovers will be present in Delta
that evening when Miss Macbeth, in
all her sweetness and all her glory Of
voice will charm hef audience in this
western town as she has held spell
bound audiences in every country in
Europe and those composed of the

DAVID LIVINGSTONE AND
MARY MOFFAT

A BEAUTIFUL example Of pure
love was given to the world by
the great explorer and missionary, Da-
vid Livingstone. He married tie
daughter Of another missionary, Mary
Moffat, and the happiness Of these two
was ideal. In one of his letters to
Mary before their marriage Living
stone wrote:
81. And now, my dearest, fare
WELL May God bless you. Let your
affection be toward Him much more
than toward me; and kept by His
power and grace hope shall never
give you cause to regret that you gave
me part. Whatever friendship we
feel toward each other let us always
look to- Jesus as our common friend
and guide, and may He shield you
with His everlasting arms from every
evil"
After eight years of married life,
Livingstone could still feel inspired to
send his wife this letter:
cape Town, May 9Th, 1892.
MY dearest Mary: How I miss
you and the dear children! My heart
yearns necessarily for you. How many
thoughts of the past crowd In my
mind |. l feel as if would treat you
much more tenderly and lovingly than
ever You have been great blessing
to me. You attended to my comforts
in many ways. May God bless you for
all your kindness. see no face now
to be compared with that sunburnt one
which has so often greeted me with
Its kind looks. You may read
the letters over again which I wrote
you Mt Mabosto-the sweet time. you
know. AS told you before, tell you
again. they are true, true; there Is not
bit of Hypocrisy in them. I never
show all my feelings; but / can say
truly. my dearest. that loved You
when married you and the longer !

well take holiday for week or so
until you hear from u.s."
She turned back to her books while
Joan, after looking at her for mo-
ment In silence, turned and went into
the corridor. She made her way
toward the hospital entrance. And the
great wooden arch, through which she
had passed hundreds of times without
noticing it. suddenly became vivid
with detail; the hospital. which had
been part of her unconscious life.
looked strange and new to her.
