first his ailments bound him more closely to his family which bich caused the loss ot of him to ci 01 baie eat e a greater domestic void and be more keenly felt and this keenness was sharpened by the lad fact that his only and younger brother had started on a mission to england a month before de fore go where we will the aching vo void d is there which is felt sorely by both parents but na naturally y most by his mother deprived as she was almost at once of the presence of both of her children sometimes one wonders why it is that one person should be hampered by afflictions all his life
