Miss Nettie was con- vert d and Joined I’eniel Baptist church when quite young—a serene and tranquil life was hers—so quiet, so humble, yet full of joy and sun shine. All that loving hands/ind medical skill could do was given her, but God saw fit to call her up higher- It is hard for cs io give up our loved- ones with whom onr hearts are linked by the tenderest ties of love and af fection, but we should bow submis sively to God’s vill. We cannot understand these mysterious visita tions of Providence, but some day when the light of eternity breaks upon us, we will understand. "Not now, but in the coming years, It may be in the better land; We shall read the meaning of our tears, / And then, ah! then we can under stand.”. She is gone and has met Httle Frank and Pearle, who have proceeded hep to the better land, to await the com ing of her loved ones, who will meet her on the Resurrection Morn. Her tasks are all done now, and will be among the number to whom it shall be said: "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation oi the world.” M Tis bard to bre«k the tender chord, When love has bound the heart, ’Tis hard, »o hard, to speak the word, We must forever part . ■ * Dearest loved-one we have laid thee, In thv peaceful grave’s embrace, But the memory will be cherished Til we see thy heavenly face.
