But, if the gates of heaven ever swing op in for a soul disembodied, then those gates opened wide when thesweetspirit of Ad Moore left its tenement of clay.

For she died in the arms of a Savior whom she loved and whose life she had exemplified by a thousand Christian vir-tures, and, bending over her grave in Oakwood cemetery, on which the earth is fresh this evening, faith, looking through blinding tears, may safely murmur, death, where is thy sting; grave, where is thy victory Base Ball NoteB.

Why, it has got so now that a woman has to got out a search warrant to find tho pocket in a dress when it comes homo from the diessmnkcr.
