Obituary

Oscar Lee, infant son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Oscar Davis, born January 1,
1902, and died in the city of Hatties-
burg, Miss, November 27, 1903.
Little Oscar was very bright and
promising child. His devoted par
ents had much to cause them to look
forward to a life Of usefulness foI
their child. but in the midst of their
brightest hopes and most cherished
expectations, death enters the home
and the family circle is broken. We
pause for moment, and ask is this
life life of chance made up of so
many accidents
Our experience and observation
teach us that when we are in the
midst of JOY and delight we are in
danger of being swept into deepest
distress by the happenings Of things
that lie entirely beyond our control.
But thanks be to Him who is the
author of life itself, we are not left
in darkness to bear the bitter disap-
pointments alone. There is a higher
voice that speaks-there is a stronger
hand that guides-''I will never
leave thee, nor forsake thee" And
we know that all things work to-
gether for good to them that love
God, to them that are called accord
ing to his purpose. Suffer little
children to come unto me and forbid
