On May 80 the twelve year old son
OF Rev. and Mrs. Il. @. Price was
drowned near Enderlin. He was a
dutifui boy, devoted to his parents
and faithful to the Sunday school and
church.
During the month OF June the home
OF Rev. w. G. Sage was saddened by
the death Of hts mother at an advanc-
ed age. Her remains were laid 10
rest In the little cemetery in the old
Canadian home
On Aug. there occurred a very
sad accident at Lisbon. There vgas a
gasoline explosion by which four
young men were injured, two OF them
so seriously that they expired In n
few hours. Robert Thoburn thu 40
year -old son OF Bro. and Mira. R IL
Craig being one of them. The hours
OF suffering were intense but the Bit
terness OF separation was to some ex-
tent removed by the clear testimony
which was left Of Roberts experisnce
OF the nearneas of God and the COM
seriousness Of sins forgiven. We COM
mend these bleeding hearts to Him
whose tears Of symapthy fell with
those Of the grief stricken home AZ
Bethany, being assured that the goa-
pei which we preach wilt sustain the
Borrowing ones In the darkest hours.
