We are glad to acknowledge
the ricept of a bbok,' "In Me
moriain of William Henry Bran
son" containing the card of Mrs.
Branson. We greatly appreciate
the book and have read .princi
ple portions we hope with much
profit.
' We did not know the subject
personally but we understand
now why there was such deep
and general sorrow at the shock
ing tragedy. A good man had
fallen.
We are glad the book was writ
ten. Its pages will be an inspir
ation wherever read.
We can conceive of only one
book in the home of Mrs. Bran
son more highly prized; of only j
one a greater source of comfort
to her, and only one as a greater
force in inculcating noble char
acteristics in the son and daugh
ter before whom she can ever
hold the high model' of a father's
life-
