P, Doolittle On the afternoon of January 13, / 1928, the death angel came to the home of Mr. P. j?. Doolittle and cpretly carried his spirit to its re ward. He was not dangerously ill but a few. days; a heavy cold devel oped pneumonia, and in his weak ened condition hi» strength was in sufficient to battle with pneumonia the fourth time. Everything that medical sk ; ll could do was done by a faithful phys : cian and trained nurse, but God had need of him in a better land. Since my earliest . recollection I have known Mr. Doolittle. He was my friend when I was a child, and I found just as good- a friend in him in later years. He was everybody’s j and Rev. Mr. e Plum ' Branch 1. The pall bearers of them) nephews of Mr. le, namely, Messrs. W. T., J. E. S., C. R. and W. C. Strom, and R. M. Winn. » “Nearer My Gyd to Thee,” “Jesus Lbvor of My Soul,” and “Oyer There” were sweetly sung by the choir. A prayer was offered by Rev. Hodgens, and a scripture reading by Rev. |I*. Wilkes. Rev. Mr. Hodgens spoke of the life of our friend, but mostly of the home :n heaven, repeating parts of the fourteenth chapter of John, Jbwd the seventh chapter of * Revela tions, requesting the audience to read the. chapter When they return ed’ home. . Thl# &mpter should comfort ai& oae fn *m»w—to khoW. that there mil be iu> tears there. “God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes.” What, a • wonderful God we have—-so forgiving, so patient, pre pares a place for us and comes back for us, the three in one. How weak we must be when we know all this, and then .poor^ weak humanity finds it liard to trust so faithful a friend -^-hirtr we dfr # f-W- 1 ’"-'X We should think of our friend as away for a time, free from pain and sorrow, basking in the sunshine, and talking with old friends. I felt like I wished it were possible to send & message to those I love who have gofie on, and to my mind there fs 1 nothing so sweet, nothing so beauti ful as heaven. As I saw the lovely flowers so beautifully arranged a- round the casket, and the sorrowing silent crowd, I wondered how many 1 dear departed spirits invisible to our eyes, were rejoicing in heaven, and could our eyes have been opened, what wonderful scenes we might have beheld. , To the sorrowing ones, we point you to Jesus, who knows our every hearthache. * Sleep on and take thy deserved rest, Never more from storm nor tide, Wilt thou need to hide. God makes no nrstakes, But doeth all things for the best. — Annie Lou Morgan* -tXt oday our beginning of a ni year ai fter. at,the at the beginning of at semester. Next time we meet we shall be directed by new officers. We believe that tie. who never sets a geal nevey reaches one. Therefore, it is quite appropriate that we pause during our first meet ing of 1928 to makers few resolu tions. So let us resolve: 1. That we recognise the author ity of our off : cers in matters per taining to the society. , 2. That we take ari interest in the work of our society. 3: That we serve on any commit tee on which we may be appointed. > 4.'
