meekness, her patience, her triumphant
faith in Christ, touched every heart

One evening Mr. Vaughn called his

cruelly parted them. We have got our

Twelve hours after this her pure and

It was a bright day. The evening
sun shed radiance over field, stream and
grove. The birds were singing in every
clump of trees, and every breeze lmre

The whole community for miles
around was i.i attendance. The dis
tinction of rich and poor was forgotten
in the remembrance of the holy love of
the human heart.

The effect was electrical. There was
not a tearless eye in the crowd of specta

Foster was confused with strange emo

coming in to invite his guest to bed.
