Mrs. Ida Wales received word of
the death OF her father. Rev. Mr.. Ran.
kin, at the home OF his oldest daugh.
ter. in Cedar Rapids, la. Death had
been expected .or some time, Mrs
Wales having last seen her father
early in September. Had he lived till
next January, Mr.. Rankin would have
been 80 years of age. He was well
known in Durango, having frequently
preached In the Methodist church on
the occasion of his visits here. Mr.
Rankin had a beautiful character, and
although Mrs. Wales realizes that his
death was a release from suffering
she was almost prostrated when the
news came. The funeral will be In
Cedar Rapids. After the first bitter
ness of death is past, we realize that
after all 1t is not for US to grieve, since
the separation is not final, and the
longest life is but a little while, in.
finitesimal. in the sight OF God. Those
who precede us through the valley OF
the shadow OF death have probably
learned the lessons the earth life can
teach them, and like Mr.. Rankin have
gone ito Join the choir invisible"
