Hettie professed hope in Christ

TIED at Stumptowu, Jan. ID, 1900
near the old Mount Pisgah Church
by Rev. William Burns. She lived
a consistent Christian life during hel
short stay on earth. She was follow
ed to her last resting place on the
hill overlooking Stumptown by g
large cOncourse of near relatives and
friends, where the funeral services
were conducted by Rev Bee Stump.
Hettle leaves a large number of
relatives and friends to mourn her
loss. But our loss is her gain. She
has gone to live with Jesus, to await
our coming. We can go to her, but
che cannot come to us. She vas a
bright and intelligent young girl,
just in the bloom of womanhood.
To know her WAS but to love her, for
she was light hearted and gay. Al
ways ready to greet you with smile
that noue but the true and good can
give. We shall Miss YOU, Hettie, on
earth, but in heaven we shall see you
again, where suffering, PAIN and
death shall be felt and feared no
more. To the bereaved father and
mother, brothers and sisters you have
orr sympathy in this your sad hour.
Weep not for Hettie for she has
gone to live with Jesus. There were
no signs of rust upon the machinery
of her life, but it was as beautiful and
bright as the dawn of day. She was
so pure that it was exceedingly hard
to look upon her face ard retain our
faith in original sin. Hettie's stay
on earth vas short to her. The bud
had only began to show what the
brilliant blossom of life would be, hut
we can never know how it served to
brighten the home and gladdea Tive
hearts OF the many friends who knew
her But God loved her more than
we. He needs such as Hettie in
heaven to give him perfect praise and
he takes the full blown flowers from
earth rs well as the buds. A we
carefully select the most beautiful
flowers to adorn aud beautily our
earthly homes just so does God gath
er the purest gems of humanity from
earth that they may Shine ana beau
tify the cour', Of heaven We SHALL
see Hettie again in heaven, When we
will clasp glad hands with her where
parting will be no more.
Although my life wa, full Of sorrow,
And oft I felt so sad and lone;

For Jesns soon would take me

And when in heaven with sainted

Where God will wipe all tear.
