IN MEMORY.

Death visited our community on
March 23rd and removed from the
home of John Fitch and wife, their
son, Cecil, age 10 years. He was
converted February. 1910. He Is
gone but not forgotten. His sweet
voice will be heard no more in
their home, but we miss him from
our home and our hearts are sad
because he is gone. All that was
mortal of his sleeps on the hill
near his fathers home, but we
believe the spirit of Cecil Is in the
Paradise of Rest. We will learn to
love our neighbors and brothers and
sisters In the church and can look
forward to the time when our bod
les shall be changed from mortal to
immortal We expect to meet Ce-
Gil Fitch and many others that have
gone on before, The toll of the
road will seem nothing when we
reach the end Of the way. We will
say to the family. weep not for
Cecil but prepare to meet him where
parting never comes.
