Dear Editor Il have just heard of the
sad bereavement of Alonzo and Olive
Phillips of Glover, in the death of Wendell
their youngest, darling boy. The pet
and joy of his parents and grand
parents has left them in tears. Yes, he
has gone to be angel in that bright sum
mer land, gone ere he had tasted of the
bitter trials of earth; ere his pure sou
had become furnished with sin. Darling
Wennie, we almost envy you your escape
from a world where SO much suffering
crime, and misery are the lot of so many
poor mOrtals, while they remain in thu
earth form. In memory l am carried
back twenty-nine years, to the time whei
we went to Glover to live. What change:
have taken place since then A Who'll,
generation of people swept off tn
earth. In no place do we see the chang
as in Glover We lived there fifteel
years and no other place seems so dear
1t is going home to us all, to visit the oil
familiar scenes and the kind friends VIII,
+ are left there. A better or kinder peopl
we never expect to find. But they hav
nearly all crossed over to the other side
What joy we feel even in our sadness
to realize and believe that they are still
alive and happy in the bright summe
land! We know there is no death i
Gods vast universe, only change fror
+ mortal to immortal life; these fra
houses in which we live u few shor
years, we shall give back to earth fror
whence they sprang, and the freed spiri
soar away to the bright.home of the SOU
e st. Paul in view of these subjects, eS

our earthly house be dissolved, we hav
a house not made with hands, eternal i
the heavens.
