ESTELLA CURTIS

For months, Stella has suffered from a complication of diseases which baffled the physician. The patience with which she has borne the trials and aches of the sick room has been a wonder to both friends and neighbors. Little child though she was, her trust was immovalily fixed on the One who said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not."
