Death Of Mrs. l.. J. Minis.

Her mortal body reposes peace
fully in yonder cemetery be-
meath profusion Of lovely floral
tributes and her beautiful spirit is
with Jesus in the home beyond the
sky, where peace and JOY and
bliss reign eternally. With a COM
plete resignation, such as is born
only of an abiding faith in Him
who doeth all things well, Mrs. E.
J. Minis gave up her life in the ear
ly watch of Sunday morning. Know
ing that the end was slowly, never
theless surely, approaching, all of
her loved ones were with her. Mrs.
Minis chief concern, as she bravely
and in full consciousness faced the
transition from earth to heaven, was
not the fear of death but the separa-
ton from those whom she loved. 1t
was her desire to live for them and
their happiness.
For several years past Mrs. Minis
condition has been one of steady
physical decline and for six months
or more her suffering has been in
tensely acute. But she bore it all
with patience and beautiful Chris
tian fortitude. Throughout her long
illness she constantly received the
most devoted attention from loved
ones. AS if possessed of super-hu-
man strength, those nearest and
dearest to her seemed never, under
the greatest stress and strain, to
tire in their thoughtful and affec-
tionate ministrations. Everything
too that is known to science and
medical skill was invoked to restore
health and strength but in its stub
born resistance the malady. yielded
to nothing. God had called her up
higher and no human agency could
stay or annul the summons.
From early childhood Mrs. Minis
was devout member of the Metho-
dist church, always being actively
and prominently identified with
every department of church work.
particularly with those things that
were fostered by the ladies. In her
church, ,as in the community life, the
loss resulting from her death is ir-
reparable. But in the home which
she loved so well, where her devo-
ton to those dearest to her was as
sincere and tender as it was beauti-
full, is where Mrs. Minis will be
missed most. May His comforting
presence be constantly with Lei
husband, her two daughters and lit
tie son!
The funeral was conducted from
the Methodist church Sunday after
noon by her pastor, Rev. L. D. Gil
lespie.
