Robert Addis Charless. After an illness of nearly two months, little Robert Addis, infant son of John H. and Helen Charless, departed this life Thursday morn morning, - ing, morning, November 12th. 1903. at the ten tender - der tender age of 14 months. The sorrowing parents have the sympathy of the entire community in this deep bereavement. The bright little life was short, but his ministry was complete. "Children are God's apostles, day by day Sent forth to preach of love, and hope, and peace; Nor hath thy babe his mission left . undone. To me at least his going forth hath , given Serener thoughts and nearer to the skies." How frail is our hold on our own lives and the lives of those we love. With strong vitality the little life fought patiently and bravely, and the loving hearts and hands of the father and mother tried with wise and ten der' care to nurse their dear one to health, but it was not to be. "The issues of life and death belong not to men." He came and went. This life to him was a passing dream So short, so fleeting. And yet he gained A place within our hearts. As most we love those tender flowers Which bloom but for a day, So loved we him. and mourned when he departed. But wherefore should we mourn? Oh, went he not from a dark world Of sorrows, pains and tears, To a more blessed home, a place Of holiness, of happiness, and peace? Then may we dry our tears; For now more blest, and happier far, Than any here below. He sings with e'en his infant voice Sweet praises to his Saviour, who declared, That of such babes. Heaven's King f dom is composed. C. E. L. PRINCETON WINS. A Great Game of Football This Af- v ternoon at New Haven, Conn. ' New Haven. Conn., Nov. 14.
