Death OF Mrs. Daisy E. Parker.

Ii.
Thursday last, November 10Th, 1906, at
Atlanta, Ca, of Daisy E. Parker, be-
loved daughter of Mr. and Mrs. w. w.
Burley, so we'll known and respected in
this neighborhood. She was born July
14th, 1880, and was married to Mr.. Parker
on August 2sth, 1901. Her body was
embalmed and brought to Walhalla,
whore the funeral took place on Friday
at the Baptist cemetery. The funeral
procession arrived at the Walhalla Bap-
tist church about half-past three O'Clock
the Rev. E. S. Jones, of the Methodist
church. The service was impressive.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. K. s.
Jones. The hymns, "Safe in tho Arms
of Jesus" and "Nearer My God to Thee"
we sung, being favorite ones of the de.
ceased. After the Scripture reading
Pastor G. 81. Judd spoke to the sorrow
ing mourners. He said that no human
sympathy could go deep enough to give
bind up broken hearts and send the Com
forter. One said to him on her dying
bed: God knows the rigf me to take
His children home" The cord of love
which bound them to the departed was
not severed, but new pulled heavenward
instead of earthward. The word Come
terry means sleeping place. There would
be an awakening in the morning. The
Germans formerly called it Gods acre.
The precious seeds were sown one by
one aud Gods harvest time WAS coming
and there would be a glorious reunion,
WHOM all of Christs people would awake
in His likeness, and as we have borne
the image of the earthly Adam, we should
also bear the image OF the heavenly.
He knew that the departed sister had
gone to be with Jesus; washed in the
blood of the Lamb, and faith could say
of her:
Just gone within the veil, where shall
follow;
Not far before me, hardly out of sight;
down beneath thee in this cloudy hol
And thou above me on yon sunny
height;
There to begin new and happier story;
Thy little tale of earth now told aud
These outer shadows for that inner glory
Exchanged forever, Oh thrice blessed
one
Some earnest words to those unpre-
pared to die followed. He quoted
lines that he had copied from ID. L.
Moody's pocket Bible:
My pulse Ia the clock of my life,
1t shows how my moments are flying,
It marks the departure of time,
And tells me how fast am dying!
gone"-but where P Three deaths were
mentioned:
l. Spiritual death-the separation of
the soul from God; and some present
might have dead souls in living bodies !;
the Lord Jesus was present and could
raise to spiritual life.
2. The death we mourn to-day, the
separation of the soul from the body.
3. Eternal death, the separation of
both body and soul from God forever.
Death came either with spade or a
departed sister death came with spade
to transplant her from earth to better
world. To some death came with
sythe to cut down.
The Rev. K. S. Jones gave very help.
full, practical message for daily living. He
said friends should remember us when we
are gone by our kind words and actions.
Some people we are glad to forget, but
others leave q fragrant memory and we
can never forget them. A few years
ago the loving words and actions of
one dear to him were 80 impressed as
still to be fresh in his memory. He re-
mombered the deceased by her bright
smile and words and sunny disposition,
although only once in her company Kind
acts and bright words and face will
leave happy remembrance as we'll as a
blessing at the time.
at the grave another favorite hymn of
the deceased was sung, 'We Shall Meet
on That Beautiful Shore Bye and Bye"
The sorrowing father said aloud to all:
"God grant that it may be So"
The bereaved family is known and be-
loved by large circle of friends, and
also respected everywhere, and we ex-
press our sincere sympathy with them.
