comforting words did he show,
that Affections and bereavements
which come into family, do not
come by accident, but are the de.

Mr.. Holman was very strong
and hardy man. Few men ex.
celled HIM in physical endurance,
This very fact led him, at times,
to forget the limit of human en-
durance, and to properly care for
his most excellent constitution.
Nineteen years ago he had the
first attack of rheumatism and
suffered from it to the time of
his death. He, also, suffered
from estrangulated herna, which
required a surgical operation.
! This was successfully performed
May 20, 1911. Under the care of
DR.. Dalbey he seemed to be on a
fair way to his usual health, but
chronic articular rheumatism
contributed to by the operation,
brought on heart trouble, which
was the immediate cause of his
death.

Bible reader IN his later years,
decernlng clearly the plan of sal.
Vatlon, and he enjoyed a saving
ialth IN Christ, and reslgnedly
cast himself into the open arms
OF our loving Savior.
Prior to his demise, he called
'ne family to his bedside, taking
each by the hand, bidding them
alast good by. and e3orting them

as to meet HIM In heaven.
