On the morning of June 29, 1909,

took a little sufferer to a brighter
world. Little Raymond lived only 2
months, but he had entwined him
self around t!.e hearts of father,
mother, brothers and sisters. Weep
not, for he is now waiting for you
in the world above where all is
peace and love, and you can go and
be with him forever. May God
bless and fill the hearts of the be
reaved ones with joy that passeth
understanding. G. P. W.
Virtues Twisted Into Vices.
It is possible to be proud of our
humility! The very best of the vir
tues may be twisted into a vice. You
can invite men to Christ with the
clinched fist; strange that men will
not come! You can do your good
works in such a way that they shall
be evil spoken of. Keep the man
of knowledge in the cab of your en
gine of zeal.?Selected.
While it is good to be content in
whatsoever state we may find our
selves in this world, it can never
be wholesome to be content with
one's character, or spiritual attain
ment.?Selected.
