Tomorrow Is SI. Valentine's Day
Valentine was a little-known saint
? iml martyr of the third century
whose day is kept on February 14th.
He is said to have been imprisoned
tortured and finally beheaded, It is
impossible to trace any connection
between this story and the celebra
tion afterwards connected with the
day. For centuries Cupid has been
monarch of the day and halo of sen
timent and romance surround it;
Young men and maidens, lads and
'assies bow at the shrine of Cupid,
make their selections and are sup
posed to remain faithful for tho en
tire year . to their Valentinos. Wos
are told that the birds woo anii:
?heir mates''on ^hat day and are vuf-j
tively engaged in nest building
through the days that follow. The
day is symbolized by Cupid with his*'
bow and arrow and a red heart;for
on that day hearts are supposed to
tip floating through the air.
*'Qh the heart is a free and fetterless
-? thing,
A wave on the ocean, a bird on the
?wing."
And tomorrow, no doubt will be
full of them, and they wiU be pierced
by the arrows that fly from Cttpid'<?
bow.
*Over the mountains and. over, tfce;
waves,
Under ^he fountains and under
the graves, * -
Under the floods that ai^e deepest,
which Neptune obey;
Over the rocks that are steepeat,'
Love- will find out the way.
-V vr-.jr / i"
Some thing to lose him by having ;
him confined}*
And some do suppose him, poor ;
thing to be blind; ;
Byt if ever so close ye, wall him
Do the best that you may
Blind love, if so .ye call him,
Will find out the way."

DEATH OF MK8. sfcllROCK
Vmerable Christian L?d.v I'assfd

"Si i vant of (iod? Wfill doiti1; ?
IVmv bo unto thee fore?er."
Into eternal peace and light pass
ed the faithful soul of Mrs. Mary E,
Schrock on Monday February i?.
after ?ui illness of two weeks. She
had passed her eighty-second birth
|day and. truthfully could it be said
of her that "she was faithful even
unto death."
Mrs. Schrock was before hor mar
riage to tne late Joel Schrock, Miss
Mary E. Johnson of this c6unty,
descended fro;n a long line of min
isters and educators. She came to
Camden as a bride in early life and
through all the years that followed,
this has been her . home. She was a
fajthful and devout member of the
Baptist church and her religion was
o$ an abiding nature; a rock on which
to lean when trials came, her simple
faith in her Saviour always sustain
and the service was glorified by the
ing her. 4tl serve," was he?' motto,
brightness and pleasure it brought
into her life. Yet granite hills were
not more steadfast than was she when
duty pointed the way she was to fol
low. Her life exemplified the high
est type of Christ-like idealism and
she held a place in the hearts of
those who knew her best that few
women ever attain. In her life sh6
showed the way of, right and truth
and justice and iri her death she has
left a priceless heritage of memories
and holy benediction ,of peace and
faith and love that passeth under-;
standing.
"The storm and stress of life are o'er,
Its hopes and fears, joys and sorrows
gone,
And trustingly her soul has gently
passed
Within the realm of justice, mercy,
peace,
Hefr memory our heritage so dear,
Today we count the decades of her
life
And glory in her Christian career."
The funeral services were solemn
ized at*3:30 Tuesday afternoon at
the Baptist church that had been en
riched through the years that are
gone, by her faithful and devoted
service. The Rev. J. P. Graham, pas
tor . of the church officiated. The j
burial was in the family plot in the1
old Quaker cemetery.
