V.; ?* . . By HlsflfcouU* IfettleH to,. ? T; ; rir< _ ? j.K The Journey Onward "A* ajow our ship her foamy triuck Againtit the wind was cleaving, He* trembling- pennant still look'd^ back ' r ' 1 To that dear isle 'twas heaving. So loth we nart from all we love, From all Vie links that bind us; So turn our hearts as on we rove,. To those we have left behind us! When round (he bowl of vanished years We talk with joyous seeming? With smiles that might as Well be tears, So faint, so' sad their meaning; While memory brings us back again Each early tie that twines us, Oh, sweet the cup that circles then To those we left behind us! And when in other climes we meet Some isle or vale enchanting Where all looks flowery, wild and sweet And naught but love is wanting; We think how great had been our bliss If Heaven had but assigned us To Jive and die in scenes like this With some( we have left behind us! As travellers oft look back at eve When eastward darkly going, To gaze upon that light they leave Still faint behind them glowing, So, whert the close of pleasures' day To gloom hath near consigned us, We ^urn to catch one fading ray Of joy we have left behind us!"

"Sunshine all-tnong the path of life," was the prediction of all who knqw him, But, alas! how quickly the shadows fall and we know not why, or from whence they come. When those of our loved ones have gone from us into the great and ?myste rious Beyond, when the door is shut and neither sight nor sound of them remains, we are tortured with long:- j ings and with agonizing desires to reach after, to see, to know. But the Great Heart, full of love and sympathy-understands it all. This] time the amethyst shadows of Azrael's wing has fallen with deeper purpie stain than even his sinister passing often makes and bruised the henrts ??of a family.

How to Solve Cross Word Pussies , When you have some particularly knotty problems to solve, try a steam, ing hot bath. Nothing is so condu cive to clea* thinking as a hot tub, asserts l)r. L. Hubbard of Washing ton, I). C., in Hygiba, health maga zine published by the American Med ical association. Have the water as hot as can be borne, and then a little hotter, ad vises Doctor Hubbard, and be sure to have a paper and pencil within reach so that you will not lose the brilliant ideas that are sure to come. Uuch a bath is weakening and would be exhausting to some people, but used in an emergency, it will be found well worth while. In Memoriam The John D. Kenendy Chapter U. D. C. wishes to record the following loving tribute to the memory of Miss* Ann Eliza Davis. At the dawning of a new day, November 28, 1924, the sweet, gentle spirit of our friend and co-worker took its flight to that Celestial City whose builder and maker is God. We cherish her mem ory as a loving friend and faithful member- ofnoiir chapter during -her long nd useful life. Her unusual powers of intellect and her many sterling traits of character caused her to be described as being 4,pure gold without alloy." Her death was a fitting end to her beautiful life. Very peacefully she walked with God and was not, for God took her. We who loved "Miss Lila" will al ways hold in, our hearts, the blessed memory of ner well spent life. As a testimony of our affection for her this memorial will be inscribed in our minute book and a copy sent her family. "I cannot say, and shall not say ? That she is dead?she is just away? With a cheery smile, and a .wave of ,j. her hand, She has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be since she lingers there. Think of her still as the same I "say, She is not dead?she is just away!" ? J . Meeting of John D. Kennedy Chapter .. ' . . ...... ? / ; v ?
