"Her sun went down while 1t was

as a tribute to this dear friend of mine
CT never had one more true) who
crossed we to the great beyond on
December 18th, 1911.
Oh! how we miss her, it will seem so
strange not to have our usual gather
ings at miss Belle's," a home where
all who knew her delighted to go. She
was always bright and cheerful, delight
ed TO promote the pleasure Of those
she loved, no task too difficult if it add
ed to the pleasure OF those around her.
Yes, we shall miss her, but | know she
IL free from all the sutrerings of this
life and happy onthe other shore watch
ing and waiting for the dear ones left
behind is a comfort to us all.
The told US she was not afraid to die,

May we be able to bow in humble
submission to the Advise One. He
never makes a mistake. Her lifes
work was ended. feel we can say OF
her she was pure in heart, and wher
this is true of one, they are fitted fol
for high and responsible missions il

ual happiness throughout the brighten.
ing ages of eternity.
BLESSED are the pure in heart fol-
they shall see God"
May her life and the example she SCI
bring some one nearer God.
My heartfelt sympathy is extended
the bereaved ones, and especially to the
devoted husband and son: to them hel
life meant so much and was such a com
fort and blessing.
May Gods blessings be with.them
and may they be guided by His all-wis,
hands, till they are called up higher
where they will find this dear one wait
ing to welcome them.
Her sun went down in the morning,
While all was fair and bright:
But twas not an eclipse of darkness
That hid her from our sight"
For the Valley of death was brighter
Than the hills of life she trod,
And the peace that fell on her spirit
Was the calm deep peace of God"

AT REST.

On the 18th Of December, after many
weeks of patient, and tender nursing
by friends and loved ones, the Angel Of
death visited the home Of J.. B. Porter
and bore his sweet spirit to a brighter
home above. He had been IN feeble
health more than two years bearing his
suffering with christian fortitude, never
numbering, or complaining.
Being a consistent member of the
Baptist church for more than twenty
five years, his was a life Of usefulness
and influence. He was a devoted hus-
band, an aifectionate father, a tender
brother, and a kind, and generous
friend. He leaves a devoted wife and
daughter and three brothers to mourn
his loss. But would call him back and
lmprison his redeemed spirit. He
leaves a fragrance that will sweeten our
thoughts and hopes of heaven. Fare
well dear friend; we wait and work in
hope of seeing the again. No more
will we hear thy glad salutation on earth
meet thee no more in your once happy
home, but tenderly we lay thee down
to sleep until the resurrection of the
just.
'Tis hard to break the tender cord.
When love has bound The heart.
It's hard. so hard, to speak the words;
We must forever part"
Dearest loved one we must lay thee
In the peaceful graves embrace.
But thy memory will be cherished
Til we see thy Heavenly face.
A Friend.
