Wallace MaceI Mclean.

Infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Mclean, age two months and two
weeks, died on the night of the 26th
of June. Death came to the little one
in the darkness of the night, the par
ents being unaware that the Grim
Reaper had entered their home and
taken the youngest of their children
until the next morning when the IA
Their went to the bedside to awaken
little Wallace and found that the lit
lite spirit had taken its flight into the
great beyond. The physicians said
death was due to Commissions. 1t was
a sad blow, but the workings of Provi-
dence are hard TO understand when
our own homes are visited and our
hearts torn asunder But Jesus in
talking of little children makes some
comforting declarations to fathers and
mothers who are bereft of their little
ones. He sad: "Suffer little children
to come unto me and forbid them not,
for of such is the Kingdom of Heanen. !"
And again, eff any of you offend one of
these little ones, it is bettler that mill
stone we're hanged about his neck, and
he was cast into the sea-"
JESUS loves little children and when
he takes them out of this world in their
innocent childhood l believe it is for
the purpose of centering the minds of
father and mother on Heaven where
their little one is causing them to
prepare for joyful reunion up there
on the day of resurrection.

the Inevitable and Crosses
the Divide.
FUNERAL SERVICES MONDAY AT4.P.M.

The death of Mrs. Margaret Smith,
which occurred last Sunday afternoon
at O'Clock was asurprise and shock
to the many friends of the family, who
had received information the evening
before that her condition was much
better. Alarming symptoms set up
sometime during the night. Saturday,
and she gradually grew worse until
the final dissolution.
The deceased was the Oldest child of
/. c. and Matilda Winfrey, and was

ty. She came with her parents to
this place IN 1864, her father becom-
ing the proprietor of the Columbia

and Mamie, all of whom reside in this
place.
When the deceased was quite a girl
she made profession of her faith in
Christ, united with the Baptist
Church, and lived a consistent mem
Der until her death. Had she lived
until-next December she would have
been sixty-four years old. She was a
loving mother and the separation was
hard TO bear. To the children whose
. hearts are now bleeding, we would say;
Keep your eyes on the Star of Bethle-
hem; there will be another meeting
The funeral services were held Mon.
day afternoon at O'Clock, in the
Presbyterian Church, conducted by
her pastor, Rev. o. p. Bush, a large
