How often we fail to scatter flowers
in the pathway of our friends and loved
ones while they are living. We keep
them to place upon the graves where 1t
will do the dead no good. Now had

her home, in the church, among her
neighbors, and If she had an enemy on
earth | never heard of il. She was the
mother of 10 children, six girls and four
boys, all of whom lived to man and wo-
manhood, but two are now dead. They
were all proud to call her mother. for
she was mother to them in all the
word implies. When she was able she
always filled her place in the church.
The church will miss her and her neigh
bros will miss her, but none will miss
her like her old companion. They had
been toiling along together for So years.
Oh what long time to dwell together.
1t was a marriage in which the Lord
said: "What have put together let
no man put asunder." Nothing but
death could separate them. Children.

the good part that will never be taken
from you.
