ment will carry unfeigned sorrow.
Scarcely three weeks have passed
since the subject of this brief tribute
left this town to 60 to the home of his
sister. Alas that the light Of that
home should be so soon blasted by the
rude hand of death, Nearly one year
ago his brother, Tom, was laid to rest
and now Stony has gone to meet him
in that home beyond the sky. Sim
cere and affectionate, warm-hearted
and confiding, he was popular and be-
loved wherever he was known. He
was kind and generous, never speak
ing ill of any one. If there was moth
ing good to say he chose rather TO be
silent, but he often found good
word to speak for those whom others
spoke i'll of. With manly strength
of character, his gentleness shone as
one Of his beautiful and attractive
qualities. Loving and beloved, sur.
rounded by loved ones who lovingly
ministered to every want, tenderly
watched, he gently passed from our
sight tor awhile; but murmur not,
sister and friends, for the Lord gave
and the Lord hath taken away, let US
rather say his holy will be done. His
many friends sympathize with you in
your bereavements, realizing the
great fact that what is our loss is his
eternal gain, may prove great source
of consolation.
When ends life's transient dream,
When deaths cold sullen stream
Shall DER me roll,
Blessed Saviour them in love,
Fear and distress remove,
Oh T.! bear me safe above,
a ransomed soul.
