LESLIE EUGENE DAIMLER.

Leslie Eugene, son and only child of
Bro. L. Z. and Sister Addict Cunning
ham Dantzler, was born September Is,
1886. and died of appendicitis July 0,
1905. The influence of the Christian
environment of his childhood was early
in fruition, for he was converted and
joined the church at the age OF twelve
years. Those Who'll knew his life best
say that he was faithful to his on
%victions, and despite all distractions he
never forgot to pray. His efforts to
get an education we're attended with
much difficulty. He was unable to
bear the confinement, and so had t. be
called home more than once. Four
days before his death he was stricken
with a very violent form of append
citis; and in spite Of all that friends
and loved ones could do, or that ply
sicians knew, he grew worse and his
short stay on earth concluded with the
closing Of the Sabbath day.
The death of any young man or wo-
man is ever a sad event and it is sor~
rowful, indeed, when the only child of
the home is snatched away, and just
as it stands upon the threshold of
vigorous and promising young man
ga.
hood. The grief-stricken parents will
very naturally recount his virtues and
dwell npon his ready obedience to their
wish, as also upon the many tender
m~inistrations of his hands to their
need and to the promise which his life
gave for their support in their declining
years. They will recall the kind heart
and generous nature of the child that
ministcred to the wants of even the
servants about his home And these
will ever be sweet and precious recol
l%ections to them, but they can v
take the place of the visible form Of
their dear boy. There will still be a
longing and a yearning for his home
coming; and they will listen for the &C
cents of his;voice and his familiar steps,
but all in vain.-He has CROSSED the
bar"
Neither the recollections of his beat
tiful young life, nor the warm-hearted
and sincere sympathy of their many
friends will laval anything toward rob
bling their grief of its pain God alone
can help them, God alone can heal,
That God, who hath to wonderfully
provided mansions for the faithful
designs that each break in the family
circle shall make heaven more like
home. Then let your trust in Jesus be
your chief comfort, and the remem
brancc Of your Christian inheritance
be your chief consolation. May Gods
blessings abound unto you, and may
you be kept through riches of grace"
until at last in heaven father and
mother and son shall be reunited and
i've together forevermore.
