IL grieves us to have to chronicle
such sad events, but let us not grieve
as those who have no hope. Weep not
sorlowing ones, grandma is not dead,
she sleeps that quiet and peaceful
sleep that knows no disturbance.
While the familiar form lies moulder-
ing in the grave. that eternal being is
sleeping. oh, how il encourages rs
TO read Christ's gospel. In John IA.
"a be says, 81 go to prepare place
for You, and il l go and prepare
place for you, will come again and
receive you unto myself, that where
am there You may be also. "
In first Thess 4:16, is the following;
"For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the
voice of the archangel and with the
army of God, and the dead in Christ
shall arise first.
John 5:28:29: Marvel not at this
for the hour is coming in which all
that are in the graves shall hear his
voice, and shall come forth. !"
Hosea 1874: 81 will ransom them
from the power of the grave. l will
edeem them from death. Oh, death,
I will be thy plague; OBJ, grave,
will be thy destruction.
Rev. 22:19: "Behold, l come |
quickly and my reward is with me to |
give every man according as his works |
shall be-"
First Cor. 1874: $50 also is the |
OF the dead: it 10 sown
in corruption, it 10 raised in incorrup-
tion It 10 sown in dishonor, 1t ia
raised in glory; it is sowu in weak
ness, 1T is raised in power; it sown
a natural body, ii is raised spiritual
body"
Now, sorrowing friends, let us take
courage from these sad events and
yield our own bodies living sacrifice
unto the Lord and live the life that
will enable us to rejoice and be made
happy even in the jaws Of death. and
be able to shout, "Glory, hallelujah,
our souls have been washed and made
white in the blood of the. Lamb"
The funeral services were conducted
by Uncle Billie Moore, who spoke the
words of hope and lifted bis hands in
blessing upon the group of relatives
and friends She was buried In
Brown Gap cemetery.
We pray that the blessings Of Is
rael's God may bless the family of the
deceased and cave them in his king
dom.
"Thou ert goue, our precious mother,
Never more can st thou return.
Thou shalt sleep a peaceful slumber
Till the resurrection morn.
"Then beyond this vale of sorrow,
Well awake from every care
In city bright eternal,
And its joys we'll ever share.
'Then well meet our precious moth
er, |
Then we'll clasp glad hands once
more,
When we are met to part no never,
On that happy, peaceful shore. !"
VIM. LOACH.
