Death of a Sweet Child.

Willie Elmer Rifle, son of Rob-
ert and Elizabeth Rifle, was born
in Mason county, w. Va, March
9Th, 1883, and died March 9th 1898,
aged 10 years. Willie was a bright
and lovely child. He leaves a
father, mother, four sisters and
three brothers and many other
near friends to mourn his loss.
May they all put their trust in the
One who said "Suffer little child
rem and forbid them not to come
unto me for of such is the king
dom of Heaven" Often / have
heard his sweet voice ringing
fNhrough the air the songs he learn
eN at the Sabbath School, and
stApped to listen to the echo of his
sweet voice, but alasl now his little
voice is silent; his eyes are closed
from this world only to open in
Heaven, there to sing the beauti-
full songs with the angels. Willie
was only sick three days but he
was very patient, often had smile
on his face. Just before he died
he looked up with bright eyes and
said in low voice, Oil Oil look
up there, as though he saw some
thing unseen to me.
Perhaps this little flower was Ia
ken from this world to draw us all
heavenward We extend our heart
felt sympathy to the bereaved fam.
lily. Funeral took place at Eckard
Chapel, conducted by Rev. j. Jer-
Wis, of the U. B. Church. His re-
mains were inferred in the Eckard
Chapel burying ground to await
the resurrection of the just.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in the home,
Which never can be filed.
God in his wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love had given;
And though the body slumbers
The soul is safe in Heaven.
