after which the little body was laid
to rest in the family burying

brief life in his home was noted
for love and cheerful obedience,
and smong his many acquaintance
he WAS admired. A child just in
the bloom of youth, the mind runs
back to our own short associations
with William and think it has been
truly said thst death loves shin

may seem to US a mystery, but the
Father knowe:h and by and by
will make it plain. Bereavsd
friends, We yesrn to dispel the
gloom, to lift the burden and to
comfort the stricken fsther and
mother, but We remember that
words of coincidence are meaning
less when the heart is overWhelm-
ed with grief We cannot feel your
loss as you feel it. Williams seat
ia vacant; his pleasant smile will
no more greet US here, and while
we are disposed at times to muir
mer at the works of Divine
Providence, yet we know for our
selves that God moves in mys-
FERROUS way His wonders to per-
form Let Us try to bow in hum.
BILE submission to his holy will and
remember that this dear one has
passed over the dark river which is
only q step from q life of trials to
one of bliss. We know his little
friends will miss him and | hope
they will 80 live that when their
summons comes it can truly be
said of them that life though short
was not in vain.
Precious William he has lett us,
Left us yes for ever more,
But we hope to meet our loved one
On tbat b.isht add happ7 shore.
Lonely the house and sad the hours,
Since our dear one has gone;
But, oh, brighter home than ours,
In Heaven is now bis own,
We miss the from our home William,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow DER our life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth The lonely casket keeps;
And the sunbeams love to linger
Wher= our darling William sleeps.
Farewell William, but not forever,
There wilt be g!o ious dawn;
We all meet to part no never
On the resurrection morn.
Tho thy darling form lies sleeping,
In the cold and silent tomb;
Thou shall have glorious waking,
When the blessed Lord doth come.
