APPRECIATION AND HOME I appreciated and wish to thank neighbors and friends, men and wo- men, who so generously helped to make our sale a success, although sad- ness filled our mind to see the old hone effects going away. 'Home! Hormel Sweet Honne! be it ever so humble there is no place like Homel" O•ur father wed the old ox bell and the axe, our mother the milking pail and the old arm chair, our sister the •dishes and the needle, our brothers the teal'- and scythe, and myself the books and desk. ,Our sister the day before she passed away in pain and agony said to me, "Let one go Home, why don't you let me go Home," This is the final des- tiny of all our people, our eternal Holm. We all cherish and revere otirnat- ive or natal hone; we love and value our adopted home, but our Eternal Home is our final dwelling place. Life is transient or brief; it is also transi- tory or uncertain and also fleeting at tine present time unheeded. The 'Eternal Houle' is the only last- ing and happy 'Home, free from sor row, sadness, ,pain and sin. Our wis- dorm'hen t t ' Seeke th Lord when He may 'be found, call upon Him while He is near." --J. M. ROBERTSON.
