Card of Thanks.

We wish to express our sincere graft
tude to the many friends of Mrs. Phoebe
Walden, who 80 kindly assisted us dur
ing her long illness. To part company
with wife and mother is heavy loss and
goes to the deepest depth of sorrow. s'Ir
is just as natural to die as to be born,'
said Lord Bacon, a philosopher who sell
dom had nebulous idea, yet it seems
very hard for us to accept this statemsnt
without an admixture of doubt when
brought face to face with the chasm of
an open grave. But the soothing influ-
ence of kind friends wonderfully aid in
allaying the pains of this terrible aff1ic-
ton. We cordially thank the pastors,
singers, and everybody that helped us,
even in the slightest way, in the hour OF
our grief and bereavement.
