Friends and relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Forder, met at their home on Tuesday evening last and present- ed them with a miscellaneous shower of gifts and good wishes. Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Bailey were very pleasantly surprised on New Year's night when' immediate relat- ives assembled at their home to cele- brate the occasion of their crystal wedding. The bride and groom of thirty years were presented with a pursé of money and an address which was in brief: To Mr, and Mrs. Fred Bailey-- On the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of your wedding day, we met together to offer you our heart- iest congratulations on the very hap- Py and prosperous union which began 80 many years ago. Setting forth then upon a voyage which is largely unknown, and with problems and dif- ficulties to face of which you knew nothing, your lives have indeed been worthy of the greatest praise. As mother and father, you have both fulfilled carefully the duties of the home, As citizens in this community you have been respected and have been ready to assist in any movement that has stood for the pro- gress and welfare of the people at large. Starting in life together, you have 80 lived........as to establish your claim to the reward which always comes to those who work to build up their home, the lives of their family, and to assist in making one spot of God's creation, just a little happier, just a little brighter, and a little nearer that which we all so earnestly desire. Your home has been one where there way always a welcome, and a place your children learned to love and reverence as home. Just as a reminder of the occasion of your thirtieth anniversary, and as a mark of our affection and regard for you both, parents and relatives, we ask you to accept this small memento which we give to you to mark this event. Hoping that we will all continue to meet together in happy and joyous fellowship throughout the coming years, until we all come unto that we are all Bot, thes, Sheed Sacouptin' For what some people do: The finest clothing nowadays : Oft gets the finest pew. But when we reach the blessed home, | All undefiled by sin, We'll see wealth beggin' at the gate, |" While poyerty goes in, I couldn't hear the sermon, I sat so far away, So through the hours of the service I could only "watch and pray."-- 'Watch the doin's of the Christians Sitting near me, round about; Pray God to make them pure' within, As they were pure without, While I sat there lookin' round - Upon the rich and great, - I kept thinkin' of the rich man And the beggar at his gate. ~ How, by all but dogs forsaken, The poor beggar's, form grew cold, And the angels bore his spirit To the mansions built with gold. How at last the rich man perished. And his spirit took its flight From the purple and fine linen To the home of endless night; There he learned, as he stood gazin' At the beggar in the sky. "It isn't all of life to live Nor all of death to die." I doubt not there were wealthy sires In that religious fola Who went up from their dwellings Like the Pharises of old; They returned home from their wor- ship, © Sith a head upilfted high, To spurn and hunger from their door With naught to satisfy. Out, out with such professions! They are doin' more to-day To stop the weary sinner From the Gospel's shinin' way Than all the books of infidels; Than all that has been tried Sincé Christ was born at Bethlehem: Since Christ was. crucified. How simple are the works of God, And yet how very grand The shells in ocean caverns, The flowers on the land; He gilds the clouds of evenin' With the gold right from His throne. Not for the rich man only-- Not for the poor alone. Then why should man Took do¥n On man because of lack of gold? Why seat him in the poorest pew Because his clothes are old? A heart with noble motives-- A heart that God has blessed-- May be beatin' heaven's music 'Neath that faded coat and vest, I'm old--I may be childish-- But I love simplicity; I love to see it shin' In a Christian's piety, Jesus told us in His Sermons In Judea's mountains wild He that wants to.go to heaven Must be like a little child.
