OBITUARY.

Baylis E Monts died at the home
of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Thos.
Monts, after an illness of about eight
weeks. He was born November 2,
1877 and died February II, 1899,
making his whole pilgrimage here on
earth p years, 8 months and IA
days. He was laid to rest in the
family cemetery On the 18th of Feb
ruary. The funeral services were
conducted by the Rev. J. A. Cromer,
who deliver an able sermon from st.
Matthew v1:33 to large congregation
of relatives and friends who had
come to pay the last tribute Of re-
spect to one whom they all loved. We
cannot see why such a young man
should be plucked from among us,
but God knows best for all, for "the
Lord giveth and the Lord bath taken
away, blessed be the name of the
Lord"
He leaves a father and mother, two
brothers, four sisters and a large
circle of relatives and friends to
mourn his departure. Oh, weeping,
trembling parents, the good shep-
pard who carries the lambs in bis
bosom looks pitiously upon you and
says in loving tones, can you not
trust your child with me? Surely
your heart in the midst Of agony will
reply, yes, Lord, I can think Of his
unerring wisdom, his almighty power,
his boundless resources, his unutter-
able tenderness and above all bic
Infinite love, and your faith will be
strengthened and sealed. Remem-
Der that he loves your sainted child
as tenderly as if there was not
another child in the universe, and oh,
how safe, how happy be must be with
him. Bear in mind also the sepa-
ration is only for a little while.
Alb there has many a tear been
shed,
And many a heart been broken,
For want of gentle hand stretched
forth,
Or a void in kindness spoken.
D. X.
