| One by one our friends and dear ones are
/ being summoned to the other and the
| larger life; again and again the angel OF
death visits our homes upon the errand
that cannot be delayed nor turned aside.
| But, though at such times there is always
the sense Of grief, though there is always
sorrow for the earthly ties that are broken,
| yet we find that the sense of loss that we
anticipated has not come to us; we realize
we cannot lose even for moment the ones
we love.
Nothing is so completely beyond the
power Of death as noble love. Parting
can shatter only its outward shell. Under
that strange touch, love in its inmost re-
cesses kindles and glows with divine fire.
Whom of the living do we love a. our dead?
Whom else do we hold so saeredly and so
surely2 Not as a memory of lost past
nothing in our present is SO real as they
and toward our unknown future we go
with great and solemn gladness, beck
oned by their presence" And when we
realize that the tenement OF clay is no
longer able to fifty hold a human soul,
when we realize that our loved ones well
come gladly the release from earthly weak
ness that makes possible that glad and joy-
GUS activity for which God created his
children, when we realize this, then the
last sting OF death is removed and in full
faith we can bow our heads in complete
submission and say sit is WE'LL
II was with such thoughts as these that
the friends and loved ones Of Mrs. Edison
Emery gathered to pay the last earthly
tributes on Thursday, July Z. Mrs. Emery
had been a longtime sufferer and her
friends realize that she welcomed gladly
her release. She was the daughter OF Paul
W. and PhilenR A. Gay. She was 90 years
of age, native of toekbridge and spent
the greater part of her life as a resident OF
the towns OF Bethel and Randolph. She
left a sister and a husband. Mrs, Emery
was a lifelong Universalst, and the
funeral services were conducted by her
pastor, Rev. George Fortier. The inter
ment was at Cherry hill cemetery.
So. Royaton, 5--Bethel 4, II Innings.
July 4th saw one Of the greatest games
of baseball ever played IN this state when
South Royalton defeated her old rival
Bethel, in the third and deciding game Of
their series, to 4, in a hair-raising 1-inn-
ing contest. Both teams were out for the
game, as each had previously won one OF
the series, and South Royalton again de-
feated Bethel as she did last year for the
baseball supremacy of the two towns. II
was fine contest in every way and will be
long remem bered by the spectators. With
the score tie at the end OF the ninth inn
ing, to 4, each team sent the men to bat
in the tenth only to see them quickly re-
bat in the first OF the 18th Celly, the lanky
LIST baseman OF the visitors, drove the ball
on line over Sandspra's head for three
bases and Waldo Immediately brought
him home with pretty single. II looked |
like more runs for South Royalton, as
Newton also tore of nice hat TO centre, |
but fast double play pulled Dutton out |
OF a small hole with only one run scored |
by the visitors. This, however, was
enough to win as Skinner put on extra |
steam and the three batters up for Bethel, |
Montany, Lattimer and Dutton, each /
made three frantic stabs at the ball and /
sadly returned to the bench. OF the win
ners, Woodland put up a great game in
left; Weafer for Bethel played a great
game at second and Shaw batted well, get
ting three of the six hits made by Bethel |
Skinner was in great form and pitched |
himself out of several holes caused BY his /
fellow players errors. All of Bethel's
four runs were caused by errors, while
South Royalton earned four of her five
runs by good hitting. Sklnner's speed
and control caused II Bethel men TO fan
while they only secured six hits off him in /
II innings. Dutton also pitched good
ball but allowed 10 hits, most of which
were punched in the third and ninth inn
ings.
