In Memory of Babe.

On Sept "A at nine o'clock IN toe
night the death angel visited the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Thornton and
carried their darling little baby, Ruth,
to glory, to mingle with the other
bright little angels. Ruth was six
months aud seven days old. Just a
little flower, budded here on earth to
bloom in heaven. Oh, mother and
father, how can you mourn when you
think of what our blessed Savior said.
He said: Suffer little children to
come unto me, for of such is the king
dom of heaven" We can only say that
little Ruth has gone to glory to min
gle with our blessed Savior. who died
for us all. We know that little Ruth
is at the pearly gate waiting our COM
ing. Let us say, "Thy will be done. !"
Let us be faithful and we shall see
little Ruth again. We know our faith
or makes no mistakes Little Ruth is
not dead she is only asleep in Jesus.
Father, mother, brothers and sisters,
we would ask in this sad hour of grief
that you take your troubles to Jesus,
and he will give you sweet relief
Farewell, little Ruth, farewell,
There is none to our heart mole near,
1t is sad to give you NJ,
But your presence makes heaven more
dear.
How impatient we'll be to join you
In that mansion beyond the sky,
How happy will be the meeting,
Never more to say goodbye.
