President Alma Merrill was the

from childhood and feels that II
makes very little difference to us
when we are called to go to the great
beyond, If we are prepared to go as
she is prepared and although It seems
to us that she is needed here, we are
led to say, The Lord doeth all things
well, and bow in submission to the
great mandate. Sister Waddoups has
lived life of usefulness and has been
true mother and a faithful Latter

peace end comfort from the hope

on the conditions of future re. H"'
not been intimately acquainted M
Sister Waidoups but his associations

to honor the sterling qualities which
he possesses and through the life
and examples of such a father and
mother the children have a double I'D
vantage in making their lives useful
and worthy which should be a source
OF strength and comfort. Life is eter

come when we shall understand upon
what principle it will be possible for
this tabernacle of clay to be reanimat'
ed and live on through endless ages
