In Memory of the Dead.

Life is uncertain and death is a
sad reality. 1t has pleased our
Heavenly Father to remove from
our midst our devoted friend, Miss
Annabel Cutler, who died January
Y, 1905, age % years and / month.
| In her death we have sustained
an irreparable loss, but our hope
and Joy amid this sadness is that
the bright hight that went out so
early with her young life still
shines with the eternal radiance of
the heavenly world, that the
flower that bloomed so short a time
was only plucked that it might be
transplanted in the lovely fields of
Eden.
Therefore, we submit t. Him
who doeth all things WE'LL Death
is always sad. Even in our autumn,
the years melancholy days, the
signing breeze mournfully sings
the requiem of the falling leaf.
But when death comes TO one so
young and bright-just as she is
is reaching the time when life's
bright happiness would be within
her reach it possesses a measure of
sadness that makes our hearts
ache to contemplate. We can well
imagine with what anxious pride
and joyous anticipations she has
looked forward. to her future years.
Cruel death on noiseless wings is
ever passing and carrying some
body to the grave. This time it
passed at the threshold of Annabel,
and with his icy fingers stilled the
beating of her heart. She was our
true, devoted friend and a charm
to our social circle. But behold
the brow is pale and the form
pulseless as marble. Her voice is
hushed in deaths gentle slumber.
She is gone, but not forgotten; we
bid her farewell, but not forever.
She left home. loved father, broth
ers and grandparents, and many
but she is peacefully rest
ing in her newly made grave, and
sweet care for midnight watchers.
Could we wish her back again?
Dear father, grieve not for the
flower so early plucked from the
garden of your hopes. Though |
She is gone from you and you will |
not SEE her in her accustomed place
in the home circle, she is waiting
for you on the other side. Though |
there is one less to love on earth,
there is one to love IN heaven. An
other seat is vacant and the home
IS shadowed with gloom. for the
angels from their pearly portals
Come home"
Rest, Annabel, rest,
Beneath the Arch of Clay,
And with flowers above thy breast,
Lie till the Judment Day.
