"l news has just been wired to me fro Florence that Mrs. Jane Cost in dead. Last Monday, while retUI lng home from Bennettsvllle, l h an hour in Florence, and I spent in paying a visit to this sweet-sj ited old sister. Among all the v men I have known, she seemed live on tlie closest terms with t King of Peace. She has been eal upon a dozen times to pass throu the very furnace of sorrow and . diction, and yet no one has ev heard her complain that her lot a hard, or her pathway rough, S I Walked as a queen in the com pa of her King, and her face was ; ways wreathed with smiles. To h I there w as no such thing as a spec providence; hut all that came to h was sent from One who was too wi to err, and too good to he- unkind. It was my delight to preach the gospel to her during all the years of her Sumter life and her presence in any meeting was like a benediction from heaven. She was greatly gifted in public prayer, and seemed always to be talking to a Friend whom she knew and understood. We sat together in a piazza swing last Monday, and while she held my hand in the familiarity of a mother, she pi iced her left hand upon her heart, and said she had a tired feel? ing there. And then she added, "You know I am eighty-three years old." 1 told her of my father who lived to be ninety-three, and she smiled and said, "But I am not wor? ried." I shall always remember her in love and kindness, and shall con? stantly rejoice to know that her life and mine followed together in such unbroken harmony through the years of her Sumter life. And we shall meet again in the shadowless land, the lard of beauty and brightness, and I shall know "Mother Costin" better than I ever knew her here. Such a. life is but a magnificent triumph of grace, and proclaims to all the power of God to redeem and sanctify and save forever. I can imagine that of her it may well be said at heaven's gate?"Who is will he, it of great ler robes, ? le blood of fe, I have never known a pastor's friend truer or more faithful. C. C. Brown.

Holly and smilax were used as a cov ? ering for the foot of the tree. The children were marched from their rooms, all of which were gaily decorated with Christmas colors, and Christmas designs which told the story of why the day is observed, to the assembly hall, where the tree vss arranged. They all then united in singing a number of Christmas songs which their teachers had taught them, instrumental music be? ing furnished on the Vlctrola, which lias recently been secured by the school.
