IN MEMORIAM.
1t is with feelings of deep sorrow
we record the sudden outgoing from
earthly associations of our beloved
young friend, Charlie B. Earl Aged
but eleven years, he yet displayed
quickness of intellect which gave
promise of bright and useful man
hood. In connection with this. was
a sunny, genial temperament, max
ing him favorite with all. Among
his class mates in Sunday-school he
had no peer. Faithfully conscientious
in attendance and department he has
left an example that may well stimu-
late both old and young in their eff
forts in the Masters service. The
rite of baptism was conferred upon
him July 5, 1889 by Rev. M. Kings
bury. An appeal made to Sunday
school members that they might also
become church attendants, found a
respondent in Charlie and from the
time the request was made till the
tragic closing of his life his steadfast
presence encouraged and cheered the
pastor. We mourn the absence which
gladdens that "other where" of con
tinued being We cherish the mem
ory-as we think of the unselfish ma
ture-as we strive to attain the love
able characteristics of the spirit which
we believe still lives and loves and is
beloved. To the sorrowing parents
and aged grand-sire we tender our
sincerest sympathy, commencing
them to the loving care of Him who
was a man of sorrow acquainted with
grief, NIX.
