IRE OF meeting affably and portly

On Wednesday morning Oct, 10th
the death angel visited the home of
George r. Hopson, Of Cronanville,
and carried away to sunny chimes
of bliss the ten months old son who
was Ill for some ten days, being
under care of DR.. John d. Alexan-
der. 1t was sad indeed to have this +
rosebud, as he was, snatched from
a bouquet of a sweet and amiable /
group of little ones, but we must
remember that of such as he is the ,
kingdom OF Heaven. All that skill {
ed medical attention and kind and
loving hands could do was of no
avail and so despite all efforts there J
is vacancy in the house that can
never be filled. In family of FIVE
sweet little cherubs, this was the
only son, and consequently was the
Joy of his father and the pride of
his mother. We can not say to
those of such sore bereavement,
Weep not" for not to weep is con-
trary to our human nature, rather
say, bow as humbly as possible to
this divine dispensation aud be as
sured that He does all things well
and that while the cherished little
darling is gone from your home, he
has gone to a home not built by
hands, but eternal and in the skies
and that death OF such as he is only
a transition from earth to a Heav-
emily home. May we all be as we'll !
as he to make this change
Is the wish of
A FRIEND.
