Where shall we find another like to
thee?"

| Bluehill, June A, 1926.
| Dear Members of the M. B. Column:
| 1t was my privilege May %, to hold
a last reunion with Aunt Madge," at
| Mountain View farm, and as l looked
| at the peaceful face lying in bank OF
| flowers, 1 thought of the lines
| "The task assigned her under the sun,
| Is finished now, and the kingdom won.
| In the clear morning of that other
country,
With the same face we have loved and
cherished
She shall arise"
The attractive home was as dear as
| it used to be on the August days when
we met there for other reunions
when Uncle and Aunt Madge stood In
the wide open hospitable door to give
us cordial welcome. No one ever
went away from that home without
feeling they had received olesslng
and Fbenediction.
Aunt Madge was always ready with
her pen or music to help the least anu
the greatest; her manifold talents
were shared with all and her loss 10
the community cannot be estimated
The church has lost two members that
we valued greatly, for they were al
ways present in storm or sunshine,
when health permitted. May we not
believe that when their feet touched
the Borderland, the Lord, in His IN
finite love- may have sent the angel
spirits of those they had loved ana
lost to lead them through the shadows
home.

It was with real sorrow that l read

understand what life's separations
| mean. having had a share of life's sad

The following letter was received
by Aunt Madge before her deatn'
and given for the column by her
daughter "Narcissus:"
Dear M. BIS:
think it is high time for me to
send a few lines to the M. B. column.
| When I received parcel of belated
| Americans this morning, and In the
| May edition found my name had been
called right out in meeting" by two
sisters, said to myself, Write lit
tie letter. Don't neglect your duty be-
cause it is the easiest way Don't
shirk."
| Jasmine is truly good and falth-
full exponent of our column motto, ana
| I don't wonder at it when l read the
names of her distinguished relatives.
| I'll tell her about mine when l see her
| in June There! I've let the cat out or
| the bag! l am planning to spend that
month in Hancock county
Am very glad to greet Ethel" I
remember her very WELL Her mother
and father were dear friends of mine.
II wonder, Ethel" if we have not
| another bond in common. My grand

"Steel Worker" of the Isthmian line,
and is now on his seventh trip around
the world. I believe your son in on
another ship of the same company. Am

] T am looking out into wonderful
little orchard, full Of buds and bios
soms. And, oh, the birds! Robins and
warblers, orioles and vireos, redstarts
and humming birds, not to mention
the pugnacious. little English sparrow
NV sister had a nice little wren house
put up, and when the wrens came the
sparrows fought them so that the
wrens finally left. The door is too
small for the sparrows to get into the
house, SO they just sit around and gos-
sin and say, II told you So"
! Love to all, from
