ONE WHO LOVED HIM.

Deaths white angel, restless and re.
lentless, has again come into ouI

white pinions the soul of a man " hose
loving deeds of kindness will be missed
by all who knew him. AS father ht
was all, and more, that his family
could have wished. Every wish of his
loved ones was gratitied and his love
for his nome is proven by the fact that
he never absented himself from that
sacred hearthstone unless it was ne
cessity. AS neighbor and citizen, he
was the grandest type of man tnat
ward none he lived, and with great
and tender love for the God who had
for nearly seventy years blessed him
with abundant health. He met death,
the inevitable, with smile and with
Christian fortitude. Without ques-
tion or murmur, he passed from this
life into the unknown, crossed the
dark sea of eternity upon the wings of
Gods angels and now he rests meath
the fronded palms of the Tree of Life
in the garden of everlasting beauty.
Now to the bereaved ones, | would
offer the greatest consolation that the
human but can give-sympathy-a

think of what gathering that will be

We not exclaim, 20 Deathi Where is

Died at his home on April 19, 1909,
Mr.. |. N. Carnathan. He leaves a
wife, two daughters and three boys TO
mourn his departure. Mr.. Carnathan
would have been 70 years old IN July.
He was laid to rest in the Bethesda

friends to pay their last respect of
love to him. Mr. Carnathan was u
member of the M. E. church and lived
a gentle Christian life, was loved by
all who knew him. He said he was
ready to die and did not fear death,
that he had done what he hoped to do,
lived to see all of his children grown.
Now, children, do not IN ourn, for he
is not dead, but alive in Christ Now
let your lives be so well spent that
