He Giveth His Beloved Sleep.

We should never patronize or palliate
the foiiies OF friend, but it is just to
use every occasion to eulogize the excel
lencies Of our departed. II is the badge
OF honor OF our Christian religion that
it gives mercy to our frailties.
The good of this dear friend, Miss
Laura Cathey, who has left us is suf-
ficient to occupy our minds as long as
time shall last. Miss Laura was lady
of unique and exceptional character.
She could not be measured by the tape
line of the worlds conventional judg-
ment. She had all the qualities Of love.
There was warm and radiant impulse
of sisterliness in her breast. Her heart
was full of sympathy for the sorrowing.
She looked abroad on human life with
an eye Of tenderness and felt the sor-
rows Of the world. Her instincts we're
noble; her impulses generous; her dis
position warm. She sparkled like a
diamond in her home and church
There she spent her life, breathing
out psalms and hymns for the family,
friends and church. Thus showing to
be a Christian is more than simply be-
ing a member of a church. So in
exemplifcation of her Christ life we
pay tribute OF respect to beloved
daughter, sister and friend who has
journeyed with us but who. has grown
weary and has laid the burden OF life
down and sought those bowers where
He giveth His beloved sleep"
This life OF ours, SO strange and filled
with its numberless experiences, has
been only partially understood; and
standing over against this mystery OF
life is the other mystery that comes to
ALL And somehow so many Of us
stand and wonder il this is the end.
We don't know.
Our loved one has gone out from
among us into the blessed mysteries Of
the unknown, and her going brings no
doubt, no misgivings, for when the
stroke of inevitable law smotc
her it was the sweet spirit Of rest which
kissed her eyelids to the rich repose Of
sleep.
My sorrowing friends, let us be ready
to meet the loved ones who have pre-
coded us to the land where no sorrow
comes and where they shall no more
say, / am sick. " Let us make that
that shall usher us with JOY
into the homes which are prepared for
us over there where He giycth His be-
loved sleep" G. E. TREvATHAN

Of Mr.. w. r. Myers and claimed for
its victim his beloved wife, Martha r.

She will be sadly missed in the home,
and how strangely sad it will seem to
neighbors and friends as they pass in

hearts and loving hands could do to al
leyiate her suffering was done, but God
in His wisdom saw fit to call he away, |

reaved husband and children, weep not

you so live that you viii meet your wife
and mother in the celestial city where
no sadness is known. Mrs. Myers is
survived by husband and four chill
