All the stock brought very satisfactory prices on a slowly rising market. If the farm market can be further improv ed, it is quite certain old man De pression can be given the whipping of his life and business and industry again resume its normal functions. As conditions existed heretofore, the farmer was forced to sell on a below-ccst-cf-production market and could j:ot get sufficient money from his products to have anything left for the purchase of manufactured goods, so the pinch was felt all along the line.

Jack in his last -deep, peacefully reposing in his lit tle chamber, with unruffled brow, he deep peace of one who is at peace vith God and the world upon his cuntenance tranquilly resting, af :er a stormy voyage, safe in the har der; weary ar.d tired, relaxing after i stcrmy vigil, not to miss the en rance to that safe retreat to which lie mariner has been looking and tee ring his bark. The deep calm on 'lis lace shows that he has well suc- ccded. lie had the pilot on board, he trusted him, now he has anchored n that haven of rest. I see the deep contentment on te contour of his fare; he lias at last met his well be ieved; his soul is satisfied. lie speaks to me in language so loquc-m, portraying the deep peace "hat shines ar.d is reflecting back to ne "All is well." "His left hand is .-rider my head and his right hand loth embrace me." (Songs of Sol. 2: !. "The lines are fallen to me in )'.caar:t places; yea, I have a goodly '.eruase." Fs. 16 The serene features have a lan guage all their own, saying: "I have fought a good fight (against great ;:Ms); I have finished my course, 1 ';avo kept the faith." Blessed are the lead who die in the Lord, from this time onward "they rest from their labors." (Rev. 14:13). They say: 'Heboid I see the heavens opened 3ul the Son of Man standing on the right hand of Cod." (Acts 7:36). As I stand beside my brother and behold the quiet calm on his face, it 'ocms to say: "Oh! Jesus is a rock in a weary land, a shelter in a time of storm." (Isa. 32:2). "When I had to pass through deep waters (of af fliction), I held to the word of His premise given: 'When thou passest through the waters (Acts 27:20) 1 will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee, when thou waikest through the fire. (Dan. 3:25-27). Thou shalt'not be burned, neither shall the flame kin die upon thee, for I am the Lord thy Gcd, the Holy One in Israel, thy Savior.' " (Isa. 43:2-3). And "So He giveth his beloveth sleep." (Ps. 127: 2). As I take a last farewell look, and try to visualize our parting until "we hall meet again," Jack says in his own kind, soothing, convincing way: "Louis, when peace like a river at tended my way, when sorrow like sea billows roll whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say: 'It is '.veil, it is well with my soul.' " I believe it I know it thy life bore testimony to it. "We shall meet be yond the river; where the surges cease to roll." L. XEITZEL.
