In Memory Of Our Sister, Mrs. H. Z
Truex

eN
We do not question the wisdom of
our Heavenly Father in removing our
sister from the scenes OF earth, nor do
we complain at His dealing with us,
however mysterious they may now
seem.
Trusting implicitly In His love and
knowing that He never chastens His
children without also richly blessing
them, we submit In humble resigna-
tion to His will and providence.
When first this sweet spirit, the
ideal wife Of the pastor, came into
our midst several years ago, she
FASTENED to enlist as a member Of the
Sunday School and the various church
societies conducted by the ladies'. At
no time ~neglectful Of the duties she
owed to her husband and little child
rem, hers was a life Of conservation
and a service of love in the Masters
cause. Always cheerful and gather
ing inspiration from the brighter side
OF life, full Of hope and characterized
by a simple, chile. like faith In God
that never faltered in darkness or
difficulty, she won her happy way into
all our hearts and rendered delight
full u services and sacrifices In be-
half Of soul-benighted humanity.
She has gone from US and her loved
ones forever, In her lovely young
womanhcod, and we mourn sadly her
departure; but her sunny influence,
her self-sacriticing spirit, the memory
Of her true devotion to her husband
and children, her Church and her
God, will v e remain as an inspira-
tion to grander and boiler deeds in
the Savior's name.
Beyond the touch OF sin and suffer.
ing, beyond the power Of death to
harm, our sister is with her Lord, en-
joying an eternity Of service and
praise. Let US rejoice In the hope
that "some sweet day" we shall join
her In that Land Of Light and Love
where paintings are never known.
To the broken.hearted husband, our
loved pastor, TO the dear old grand
mother who loved her SO ~devotedly
and the little children who cannot
now realize their loss, we extend our
sincere sympathy. May God, who
temrers the wind to the shorn lamb"
shield these little ones In tender
mercy from all harm and make them a
blessing 10 the world.
