rIed it to that celestial city on high,
there to abide with the Savior and
bask in the sunlight of His holy pres

Aunt Mary, as she was affectionate-

IN October and all that loving hands
could do was done, but no relief came.
She lived to the ripe age of 81 years
In early years, she was married to
George Lynch, who proceeded her to
the grave IA years. Four children and
one brother survive her, besides a host
Of soIrowing relatives and friends. To
know Aunt May was to love her. She
always met her friends with a smile
and~a kind word. 1t is sad to give
her UP, but God in His wisdom knows
best. She had grown too dear for this
sinful world and God saw fit to re-
lieve her pain. God has some specific
