The photograph on the opposite page is our little 

 Ira at the age of four, in his 4th of July pose. At the 

 age of nine he was called into spirit life, his last request 

 being : "Papa, won't you raise pansies for the mission 

 of India?" 



The seeds from his little white pansies were gathered, 

 the plants raised, and a row planted three hundred feet 

 long, as you see them in this picture, which was taken 

 the middle of July, showing that the pansy does not 

 need "partial shade," as you read in some seed cata- 

 logs. 



All who think this would be a good way of raising 

 money to relieve the distress of children in India can 

 send two one-cent stamps, one of which will be used for 

 the return mail, and the other kept to pay for envelope 

 and paper, giving information concerning the work. 



Address letters to John Davey, Kent, O.
