Obituary

1t is with sadness that we chron-
icle the death of our little neice,
Hattie May Kerley, the little babe
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. n. Kerley,
which occurred last Wednesday night,
April 9Th. She was sick but "a
hours until she was called home.
Little Hattie was only with us a
short while, her age being l year
II months and 6 days.
To the grief stricken family we
will say: "Weep not, as one who
has no hope, for we know she is
sleeping a peaceful slumber. She
was a precious flower and Jesus has
plucked this beautiful flower from
your home to bloom forever n
Heaven. To her parents and broth
ers we would say: "You can't call
little sister back, but you can go to
her," God bless the bereaved ones
and may they lean on the arms of
Jesus IN their sadness and lonliness,
for we know that Jesus said: "Suf-
fer little children to come unto me
and forbid them not, for such is the
Kingdom of Heaven.

1t appears reasonably certain
that an amendment to the Fee
deral Constitution. making Unit
ed Statse Senators elective by
direct vote of the people, will
narrowly miss adoption by the
present Congress. Fifty years ago
any suggestion of concentrating
the power of the people in both
hou ses of congress would have
been sneered at. The builders of
the Constitution designed to bal
ance the power of people with
that of the government by pro-
viding that one branch should b.
elected by the voters and the OF
her by the states. Time is about
to show that they were guided
in mistaken wisdOm-that the a.
biding safety of "A democratic gov
eminent is secondarily as we'll as

The above is stated for the
foundation, upon which to at
