J.

L. Gordon christened you. You arc only a babe, Just a tot born Into the world, this great world of possibilities. Some day you will try und creep along the floor, and us the months move on In their majestic rythin, you wili rise to try and walk, and fall and nso to full Hut you will learn and your eyes will open and you will want to know. Kach day will bring new treasure to your store house, you will cominenco to talk, you will lisp the name of the one deurcst to you, your mother, and at length you will talk in the artless language of a child.

And then, you, little one, will learn; you will go to school, the A C's will confront you, a great problem for you to overcome, but you, bobe, who looked up on Sunday morning Into your mother's face and smiled, will romp about and play. You will havo your first sorrows then, you will havo your tragedies, your first real tragedies of child life. You will havo the many happy days of childhood. And then, ah yes, little one, you may stay the hand of 'time, you will leave that mother who held you so tenderly, so lovingly in her aims on the gladsome yesterday. She will be older then, and perhaps the gray hair will have come, and the wrinkle.

You will go away and win for yourself a place in life. Little one you will leave homo Just countless thousands have left before you, bright and "nappy, confident success, undefeated, undaunted, fresh from the home and core of one who loves you as her life. But you will find, oh babe, that beautiful as are the glad days, there is much sorrow in tho world, and that tragedies and disappointments aje on, every side. You will love. Sometime, somewhere you will meet face that attracts you, some, some eye that shines love into yours, some voice to thrill you to better things, and perchanco even as you were before the pulpit of the church yesterday morning, you will stand there again promising to love and cherish the one who will bear you home.

Then life will expand, and you will live for another. And litte'one, as the day go on and the problems pile up before you and are overcome you will notice how time rushes along, with really very little that is worth while bolng accomplished. And as the years pile up, you will have a family about you, and they too will leave your home even as you some day must leave. You will move down the valley, down the incline towards the setting sun, and the print will seem mailer aa you read, and the blocks longer as you walk them, the steps will be uncertain and the nights so very dark. These aro the days when you will be helped, and you will be aided even aa you have aided those before you.

And as you move on and on to the inevitable, may there be many resting places little one, and aa your feet near the great shore from whose other side none have ever returned, may tho winds be favorable as your craft moves out to the eternal sea.
