CALLED TO HIGHER SERVICE.
Mrs Harriet Wright Brand, of Indianopolis, joined the great company of White Rihmonkks who, one by one. are gathering in the Homeland above, on July 9th. .As National Treasurer her lit ness for the responsibilities of such an office was fully recognised and valued, as she was four t'ines re-elected and the position now left vacant will not easily be tilled. In accordance with Miss (iordon’s w ish after the weary spirit had left the body, it was taken for a short time to historic Rest Cottage and there her office comrades gathered and paid loving and tearful tribute to her worth. At the burial service a significant fact was noticed as Miss Cordon knelt lieside the open grave : the sound of the city clocks striking the hour of noon brought to each mind that “ it is always noontide somewhere,” and as the chain of prayer which is unbroken arises from the bands of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union the world over, the power of prayer must be felt in the success of the light for the overthrow of all that “defileth or that worketli abomination.
