The sun is low in the golden west, He stops to kiss the world good-nightg He takes the day in his arms to rest And hastens on with his burden bright. Like parting friends who speak farewell, And fill with love their last sweet smile, By the glowing sky the sun would tell His love for scenes he must leave awhile. Awed by such a glorious sight, The little shadows eastward creep To meet their gloomy mother, Night, 'And hide themselves in her bosom deep. And tired with rustling all the day, Their cooing with the breezes done, The little leaves have ceased their play, At Sunset. E- N. C. No jar disturbs their peaceiul rest, All nature other work doth cease, To deck with glory all the west And give the world her masterpiece. The fleecy clouds up-piled high, In sweet disorder soft unrolled, Seem Heaven's angels hovering nigh, Above the day's bright bed of gold, St. John, the Beloved, with rapturecl eyes Across the sea saw scene like this, And from his tiesh his spirit flies To meet the Sun of Righteousness. With Him the ransomed hosts he meets, With the111 before the throne he falls, He Walks with them the golden streets And are kissed good-night by the setting sun- Within the city's jasper walls. So may the setting of my sun Be radiant with heavenly lightg That I may go, when life is done, To meet the Day and not the Night. 22

Alumni et Alumnae. 31 in HANNAI-I ALICE FOSTER. Hannah Alice Foster graduated from Baldwin University in 1866, in the classical course. She is a woman of poetic literary culture, and one of whom the College may well be proud. Her poems began to appear in the Cleveland papers when she was but thirteen and since then she has written many, but her chief reputation rests upon Hilda, a gypsy tale, and Zulula, a Romance of Anahuacf' Miss Foster has several times received prizes for the best poem on a given theme, her latest victory being the poem on the Cleve- land Centennial, read on Woman's Day, and which received a prize of one hundred dollars. She belonged to the Crusaders, going out with the first band at Berea, and has been a loyal member of W, C. T. U, from the first. Miss Foster is a member of the Alethean Society, taking an active interest in its welfare and doing all in her power to aid it. The honor of being a trustee of Baldwin University is by no means the least which has been conferred upon her, for she is the second woman to Hll that place. T 5' il 5' ADAM C. BARNES. Adam C. Barnes graduated from Baldwin University to the degree of A. B. in 1859. Three years later he received the degree of A. M. About 1883 the degree of D.D. was conferred on him unsolicited and without his previous knowledge. The year succeeding graduation he spent in Hickman City, Ky., in charge of the Hickman Seminary. The next year Mr. Barnes entered into a contract with a famous publishing house to sell their books and spent the greater part of the year in Indiana prosecuting his calling. In 1861, at Kenton, Ohio, he was received on trial into the Central Ohio Annual Conference and appointed to the Elida Circuit. This was a large, three-week circuit with ten appointments and seventy miles around in what was then regarded as the heart of the Black Swamp. The summary of his ministry has been as follows: Sixteen years on circuits, thirteen years on station and seven years presiding elder. In 1892 he was sent by his Conference as delegate to the General Conference at Omaha. Since Mr. Barnes was taken into the Conference almost thirty-six years have passed, years full of labor, yet rejoicing in hope and rich in the triumphs of grace. 24
