IN SWEET REST.

On Friday evening, August the
twelfth, just az the shadows began to
lengthen, Dwight Jenkins Skeen, the
only child of Mr.. ana Mrs. Howard
Skeen, passed to his eternal rest. His
life of seventeen months had been ting
ed with suffering on account of heart
trouble. but whenever his strength
would permit he manifested bright,
sweet disposition and had so grown
into the hearts of his family and
friends that separation was very
painful trial but the eyes of all were
directed to the Heavenly Comforter
and as he was laid away on the quiet
Sabbath there seemed to come sweet
resignation to Gods will for
He is not dead-the child of our affec-
ton
But upward by guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sim q
pollution,
He lives whom we call dead.
