Westminster, Jan. 10.-Special: When, two months ago, there fell over the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hay nod Wilson, a pall of sadness in the death of his little son, Harold, this househ 1 sorrowed not alone. They were not left to shed a solitary tear, for while here v/ere father and mother, and one dear little sister, weeping In a saddened home, tho tears of many others In Westminster were not only tears of sympathy, but told of a deep feeling of personal bereavement, for who of us who knew Harold well do not, even yet, miss his bright faco? But the very' fact that he possessed a disposition so bright and happy, and wa? such a child as to be greatly missed here, makes us the more sensible of the fact that he shines bright In the midst of the hosts of little ones whom God has called to render Joy ous service unto Him. He lu far happier than ever he could be In the home to which he was so dear on earth. And how much better that God should call him out of this sin ful world to a happy land, where temptations never enter! Trough he iiad an aversion for anything that to his little mind was wicked, we do not know what effect the tempta tions of later years would have had on him. He might not have always been so shy of the places where sin teemed to be practiced. So to these hearts, sorely bereaved, wo would say, as to any other homes where stich sadness has come, or shall later come, Rebel not against God's deal ings. He knows boi>t.

From these fields of light these bright little flowers from homes be reft cnn never come back, but each sad heart may find its higher joy by going thither. May God help us ali to spend life hero so that we many go to them, is tho earnest prayer of A Friend. To Discuss Forest Reservo.
