The little tive-months old babe
of Mr.. and Mrs. G.. w. Lewis died
at the home of its parents in Wal
nut Ridge, June 10th.
Dear little Calvin, how sad to see
your bright eyes closed in death.
So anxious did mamma and papa
watch the fever come and go and
would sometimes think their darling
was better and they would tell kind
as they came in to help
cool his fevered brow how bright
our darling looked. But at last
the death angel came aud the eyes
of our darling were closed forever,
The Lord of Glory had called little
Calvin home. He was another
choice bud that the Great King had
selected to help beautify the man
sion that our Savior has gone to
prepare for us. His mission here
on earth was short, but it Is finish
ed. Weep not, dear parents, look
up. Your loss is his gain and
heaven will only be more to you.
You have lost a treasure on earth;
one has been gained in heaven. If
our treasures are in heaven, there
will our hearts be alao, and that is
why God wants our hearts looking
up TO Him. It's Grandmother,
