planned some during the night and
when he arose at his usual time was
taken very i'll. The doctor was has
tily summoned and all done that
medical skill could do, but all in vain.
He peacefully passed away at the

May our Heavenly Father guide us
and so lead us that we may be per-
United to share the blessing of life
eternal in that last great day, when
we shall be like Him.
