In Memorian.

Mrs. Jennie Logged was born In Al
erdeen, Monroe County, Mississippi,
June 10, Is47, was married to W. Il,
Logged January 2, 1870, and died in
Okolons, Chickasaw County, Mississ-
ippi, September 2, 1905.
In early girlhood she was most hap
PLY converted to God, and, uniting
with the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, she ever continued to prove by
her walk and conversation the trans
forming power and saving reality of
her faith in her Divine Lord.
All who knew sister Logged were i'm
pressed with her deep sinderity and
unquestioned piety. Her religion to
her was life, an experience. 1t was
no mere theory about which che could
talk, bat in profound sense it was a
life, an experience which she at all
times possessed. 1t is not to be won
dered at, then, that death had no ter
rors for her; for her Divine Lord, who
had conquered death and dismantled
the grave of it's terrors, was. in fulfill
ment of promise, with her seven to
the ending of time"
To the sorrowing husband and grief
stricken son and daughter she left the
"rich legacy of peace"
How best the righteous when he dies,
When sinks weary soul to rest;
How mildly beam the closing eyes,
How gently heaves the expiring breast +"
May this dispensation of Providence
lead the heart broken ones who are
left behind to fuller conservation to
God, and inspire them with deeper

Gard of Thanks.

To the many kind friends who ad-
ministerej to US inc hour Of deep
est sorrow we extend our sincerest
heartfelt thanks. While nothing that
friends can do can heal the hurt the
death angel infiicts, still 1t is highly
comforting that our friends are sym
pathlzing with, us, and are, as Tar as
possible, sharing our common sorrow.
A great rent has been made in our
lives, but God is with us, revealing
Himself through the sacrament OF hu-
man love as our Heavenly Father.
The wide-open rent made by the an
gel of death is full of sunlight and
hope, and underneath our souls are
the Everlasting Arms.
May our friends long be spared ths
sorrow we have felt; and may they
ever have "the peace Of God which
passeth all understanding"
Sincerely,
