to every troubled heart. Now comes little
Genier Turner, the sweet little daughter
of 10 months of age, of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hugh Turner. Her little soul winged its
fight to a fairer world on high on Sat-
urday, May I4th, and the beautiful Sabbath
day following its little remains were de-
posted in the same burying ground amid
large number of friends and relatives of
the family. Pastor Purcell ofhciated at
the last sad rites. He spoke with tender
ness and heartfelt sympathy, bidding all
to look above in all our affections and losseS
of loved ones. Now, may we say to one
and all of the sbereaved, remember David's
example, when his child was taken from
him by death, he submitted readily to
Gods will and said: "The Lord gave,
and the Lord has taken away; blessed be
the name of the Lord"
