The injunction of the scliptur
now comes to us with a weigh
that should stir every heart ant
call our thoughts In action, 'B
ye also ready, for in such an hou
as you think not the son Of mar
cometh." The Injunction tells vi
that this life Is to prepare for th,
life which is to come, so that wher
life and its labors are over, we car
be counted worthy to enter into
that rest which remaineth for al
the people of God, where we will
en-. Joy the presence of our loved
one throughout all eternity,
The subject of our sketch is
Forest May Wine, daughter of
William and Rosy Wine, was born
at Pine Grove September 3, 1896
departed this life April g, 1909.
Aged IL years, Z months and 3
days.
Forest was always reiigiously in
clined and was always Interested
in the Sabbath School, where she
got good food for her tender years.
Forest was an exemplary girl,
though young, yet her daily walk
was worthy of imitation. She set
good example before her associ-
ates, so that they were led to be-
lieye that she was a model girl and
that she was safe to follow as n
guide. During her sickness she
became deeply interested in re-
ligion and her young heart was
full of praise to God. She ex-
pressed her Willingness to leave
this world and 60 to the heavenly
world and be with her Savior and
her little brother, who had preced
ed her to the glory world. Forest
talked about religion all through
her sickness and what beautiful!
home the Savior had for her and
her father and mother, brothers |
and all her friends and what a |
happy meeting it would be when
they would all meet together in
that beautiful home to which she
was going. The Sabbath before
she departed this life she called
her friends all around and talked
much of her departure as though
she was going away on a visit
She bid her friends all goodbye and
asked them to meet her in heaven,
in that home that the Savior had
gone on to prepare for her and for
them as well.
Forest leaves to mourn their loss
a father, mother, two brothers,
Sabbath School associates and
large circle Of friends. But we
mourn not as those that have no
hope, for our loss is her eternal
gain, and bye and bye we will
strike glad hands with Forest on
the sunny banks of eternal deliver
ance, where parting will be no
more.
Forest will be missed in the
home as daughter and sister, A
place will be left vacant that never
can be filed She will be missed
in the Sabbath School, where she
was 80 enthusiastic. We wonder
why it was that one so young
and beautiful and good should be
called away so early in life. God
knows best, he had use for this
young bud which he transpIanted
from earth to heaven. All things
work together for good to those
that trust in the Lord.
After very touching discourse
was delivered by Rev. William
Harple from ST. John Ii h. chap.
Ter and 1st. verse, "Let not your
heart be troubled; ye believe in
God, believe also in me-" her re-
mains were inferred by director

spirit free from bondage,
Rejoice thy work is done,
The weary world Is meath thy feet,
Though brighter than the sun.
God has need of this bright flower,
That is plucked with tender care, ..
And placed wthin "A lovely bower
Where nil Is bright and fair,
Farewell father mother kind,
In heaven no sin viii find,
And dear brothers bid YOU adicu,
TllI heaven You are permitted tn view.
