w. Coon was highly esteemed and

and his firm unwavering faith in
Christ made his life one of the purest
and most exemplary that can be re-

soul no stain. In him the church loses
a devoted, consistent member, the

brother to mourn his departure, his
mother and sister having preceded
him to the NGreat Beyond" The
bereaved friends have the sympathy
of the entire community.
Asleep in the arms of Jeeus,
While his bright faith cleaning afar,
Sheds its light oer the Christian pathway,
Like Bethlehem rs glorious star.
Asleep in the arms of Jesus,
Broken is life golden bowl;
While here lies the empty casket
And flown is the stainless soul.
Asleep in the arms of Jesus;
Thou art freed from earthly strife.
Thou hast entered the pearlv city
Where the pure have eternal life.
Asleep in the arms of Jesus,
Clothe in robes of snowy white,
Thou shalt shout the glad Hosannas,
Before that throne of golden light
Asleep in the arms of Jesus;
We know thy victory's won,
So we meekly bow in submission
And murmur, 20 Lord, Thy will be DONE"
LUCILLE.
