community, is one of those inscrutable ways
of Providence which we cannot now under
stand, but we are assured by Gods own bless

1t is in just such an exigency as this, that
our best faith is called into requisition, and
we are enabled to abide the time of its full
illment. Howard consecrated himself to the
service of his Master at the early age of IA
years, being confirmed July 18th, 1893. Less
than two years later he was solemnly called
by his congregation to the Office of deacon
which he filled faithfully and we'll to the end
of his life, which terminated so suddenly at
the age of 10 years, 10 months and % daye.
As the end drew near he seemed to forget
