Is Memorlum.
The following poem is offered as a
loving tribute to the memory of little
Laura Virginia Stephens of Here-
ford, Texas. On the 17th of Jan.
1909, God sent this tiny flower into
their home to cheer and bless it. and
the same Divine Giver, but a few
weeks ago, saw fit to recall this gift
and transplant it in the Heavenly
garden where she now rests in His
tenderest care:
BEREAVED.
Dear friends, let me tell you a story,
A tale at once tender and true,
Of a gardener, who walked in his
garden,
Plucking flowers all sparkling with
dew.
He lovingly touched their bright
petals,
And arranged them with tenderest
care,
For he thought, ah ! how soon would
his garden
Be bereft of their beauty so rare
He thought of the fast coming
autumn,
Chill winds, and winter's deep
snows;
Of the frost that o'er each lovely
garden
A mantle so desolate throws.
He stopped o'er a frail, dainty blos-
som,
That held its bright face to the sun ;
And said as he lovingly watched it,
"lean risk thee no more, little one,
The others may weather it longer,
May stand the rough winds for a
while,
But this tiny thing must be sheltered
And cherished," he said, with a
smile.
Then he tenderly loosened its rootlets
From the bosom of dear mother
earth,
And left but a sense of its absence.
To tell what its presence was
worth.
So 'twas sheltered through all the
long winter,
And unfolded it beauties so rare,
And felt not a chill from the tempests
That raged in the cold outer air
Even so the kind heavenly Gardener
Sent down from his Eden above.
And removed to his own loving shel-
ter
Your blossom in infinite love.
He knew just what cold winds would
strike it;
He knew just what deep snows
would fall,
And safe in His own kind protection
He shelters it safe from them all.
Day by day are her beauties unfoid-
in*. I
In His care they shall daily in- j
crease, j
And free from all sorrow and sutler-1
ing
Her happiness never shall cease ;
_
So though your sad hearts are soj
lonely
And dark seems your grief-strick-1
en way,
Be patient, and trust in the Master,
He will lead you at last to the day
And when at the end comes your
summons
To pass the bright, pearly gates
through
'Mid the loved ones you greet at the
portal
She'll be watching and waiting for
you.
For one blessed message of comfort
By the Saviour to mourning souls
given,
One that rings through the ages in
.•weetness
Is "Of juch is the kiagdom of
heaven."

SANTA CLAUS
has been unloading his goods at our store so
fast this week that it has kept us busy night
and day getting them assorted out and on the
shelves and counters so you could see them.
We never saw him so good in all our lives.
We thought he was going to swamp us with
things for Xmas. Our store is full and to over-
flowing with things to make the hearts of chil-
dren happy. We want you to come and see
them. There isn't a toy or article of any des-
cription that you could want that you won't
find here. There are scads and scads of things.
We'll tell you more fully about them next week
but the earlier you come the better chance you
will have.
