The perfect resignation and com
posure, with which - he met death
proved that, to him, it had lost its
sting and he anxiously waited to have
eternalrest in "that beautiful city
above."
Being a man of few words, and
rather reserver manners naturally,
his noble traits of character, purity
and honesty. were best known to his
immediate family, and those who
dealt with him.
How much we loved him, can never
be said,
O,r dear loving father whom we
speak of as dead;
in the beautiful mansions prepared
upon high,
We'll meet him, if faithful in the
"sweet bye and bye."
How we will miss his presence in
our home so dear,
As he comforted our -hearts, with
words of cheer
But we will think of our loved one in
his bright home above,
No suffering there-n-othing but hap
piness and God's love.
We will lay our deep sorrow at the
foot of the cross,
And look unto Jesus as we think of
our loss;
As we enter the kingdom .he'll know
every face,
And his lambs on the dear Savior's
bosom will place.
The Father will comfort with solace
so sweet,
If we'll only remember to "lie at his
feet,"
He is waiting to heal us, he is waiting
to bless,
"He'll sancti-fy to us our deepest dis
tress."

There are many little things that go
to make up the sum of life and some
times it takes two sums to make one
life. This was demonstrated a day
or two ago when a certain lady wanted
to buy a stove. It was suggested that
a range would be much better and
gave a reason that when her family
was enlarged by his coming, she
would probably need it. Blushingly
she -aid I guess I had better take the
range.

Could the wires possibly bear a
sadder message than, "Pa is dead" to
