IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE.

Ernest White, youngest son Of
Sam w. and Lille White, was born
Sept. 4, 1895. He departed this life
and enterted the Beautiful Beyond
Aug. "a, 1909, in hospital in st.
Louis where he was taken a week
previous to undergo an operation
for appendicitis. Had he lived un-
til Sept. he would have been Il
years old, though he was SO child
like and trusting he seemed much
younger. He was an affectionate,
obedient child, and never caused
his parents anxiety or trouble. He
had a gentle, sweet disposition and
none knew him but to love him.
He loved his Sunday school and
took pleasure in attending it.
In his sickness he was patient
and brave, never murmur or
complaint. The prospects OF life
before him We're bright, with a
fine physique, bright mind and
an attractive personality, a career
of usefulness seemed dawning for
him. Why he was cut down in the
bright springtime of life, or why
he was taken from the home Of
dot:ng parents and a loving broth
er and from other devoted kim
dred is not for us to say. The
great, loving, tender, wise Hea-
venly Father in His infinite wis
dom transplanted him from this
world of sin, sorrow and bereave-
ments into the Celestial Kingdom
of perfected love, beauty, purity
and happiness, and it is ours to
say, "Lord, help US to bow in
humble, trustful submission to
Thy great and holy will, for We
know Thou doest all things for
some wise purpose"
And some day. we'll understand ;
not now, but in the coming years.
1t may be in the better land we'll
read the meaning OF our tears.
Then trust in God through all the
days. Fear not, for He doth hold
our hand; though dark the way,
still trust and pray, and then
some time Well understand"
The lad will be sadly missed by
all relatives and friends; but in
the home, the stricken home,
where his sunny disposition bro't
light and Joy to papa, mama and
brother Harry, the shadow rests
heaviest; but, dear ones-mother,
father, brother, grandparents, un-
cles, aunts, cousins, all-let us
stay near the throne OF God and
bear our cross in meekness and
in faith, and when We are called
hence we'll pass thru the pearly
gates and into the new Jerusalem,
and dear little curly-haired, blue
eyed, smiling-faced Ernest will
be at the portals to greet us and
help welcome US to the blissful
regions OF never-ending eterni-
ty. Truly, 1--WE shall meet beyond
