GONE TO GLORY.
"A precious one from us has gone.

10 the realms of bliss, yes, hithef, her
sweet spirit has sped Daisy Deane,
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. n. Hanell,
at The tender age of II years, months
and i days. After many weary DAYS of
greatest pain, the gentle spirit was sum

a little past the nOontide hour, Sunday.
July 18th, 1900. Through all the weary
days OF pain, the sweet, young sufferer

compare her with the meek blossoms
whose name she bore, the daisies that dot
our meadows green, that ever cheer us
with their robes as white as the cloud
lets, and ''their hearts as the sunniest
gold. But Daisy IS gone, and may the
sweet influence of her fresh pure life, SO
soon ended, flow on, and be a lasting
benefit to her many young friends.
Nearly two years ago she took the dear
Saviour as her council, while at home, all

guided her to where heavenly realization
has supplanted hope and expectation. A

she seemed to realize that her Savior
would call her hence, and her resignation
was ssweetly sublime, beseeohing her de-
