OBITUARY.

Death comes to all alike. The old, the
young, the middleaged find no exemp-
tiGn from the general law that all must
die. To the old we pay tribnte to their
worth as life has shown their worth
but to the young whose hOped-f0r future
our anticipations and hopes have painted
as one Of happiness and usefulness, we
pay our tribute OF sorrow not as one OF
affection only, ! ut rs a loss to the world
that all mnst 81 ar. The vision Of our
faith in what they would have been
passes away as the funeral cortege slow
ly WendS its way towards Gods acre.
TO m0raize on the inevitable destiny of
man brings no relief in times of be-
reayement. To time, the great healer Of
our heart sorrows, and faith in Him
Who tired the path before us must we look
for relief, hopeful that out of the depths
of our anguish may rise like grateful
incense rGc0llecti0ns OF kindness given
ard received. During the past week,
satertown has suffered the loss of loved
enes, alike the yonng and the aged have
paid the penalty of mortality.
