In this glorious world of ours with its
skies 80 blue and clear. whore there's
ever a song somewhere" with the
autumn foliage SO gorgeous, with the
flowers 80 rich and rare, we are again
reminded that 'In the midst OF life we
are in DEATH" for the grim reaper, Death,
with its ever cruel sickle has robbed us
of q precious flower from our garden
and has left bleeding hearts where the
flowers once bloomed.

the soul of little Holly Carecia Davis
winged it's way back to God who sent 1t.

baby 'By-by, dada. MARINA" the laugh
ing dimples-the bright eyes are only a
memory.
AL that medical skill, tender parental
love, devoted and efficient nurse. COM
bined with the efforts Of untiring friends
was done to alleviate the little sufferer
but all for naught.
In all her suqering she did not for
get her love for her parents and her last
little prattle was "Da-da-ta-ta."
Last December as the holly bloonned for
the Christmas season and the annual car
OILS were being sung. this little flower
bloomed and It was 80 fitting that she
should be called Holly" Now as the
holly blooms and the carols ring out on
the xephyrs as the vesper chimes, this
little flower has been transplantsd to
the yields of Eden" there to bloom
eternally in the sunshine Of the love and
smiles OF Him who doeth al things well
and who ID too good to be unlkind and
too wise to make mistake.
Dear little Holly. when the evening
stars bloom out in the infinite meadows
of heaven, 1t will be but gentle re-
hinder of thy soft, bright. brown eyes.
sleep on, dear one. in thy narrow cot,
And know that thou art not forgot.
