IL is indeed unfortunate TO have

instead of giving up then, they CON

they are now crying for sympathy,
mercy and food. And if we have any
eft, after furnishing all trustworthy
people, give it to them and make them
,ay the price, although they are un-
deserving. At the same time keeping
close watch on them lest we be
hoodwinked in the end. Consign old

To US she can not come,
But to her we can go;
That will comfort US some
AS we travel here below.
Her songs were sweet to us;
n our memory they shall dwell
Until we leave this earth
To meet our beloved Odell.
In peace we viii live forever;
Our tears all wiped away,
And happy we will be forever
In that land of everlasting day.

MEMORY OF LITTLE MARY
ODELL JONES.

Mary Odell Jones, daughter of Bro.
Iailey and Sister Bessie Jones of Diff
icult, was born June 9, 1905, and died
November 8, 1918. She was one of the
arrest, sweetest, most pleasant and
lost sensible children / ever knew.
There are others as good, as sweet
nd as fair, but few, if any, who
ould possibly surpass her. She said
her grand mother, Jones, about
.wO days before she died: '"Grand
Dana, see the Angles in the room,
nd smiled sweetly. She had never
aid anything about being lost. /
tsked her this fall at a meeting
ne day if she felt like
he would be lost if she were to die
nd she said she didn't. She was so
luch III favor of religion and was
.lways SO GOOD to listen to preaching
We surely believe that she had not
-.rrived to the years of accountable
Y and we believe that she is in
leaven today.
Little Odell leaves father, mother,
ne brother, one sister, two grand
athers, one grand mother and a host
# friends and relatives to mourn their
.oss. She was peculiarly attached to
Ter father and mother, always ready
o do anything they said. She was
o much help to her mother, being
Ike little woman. They had one of
he happiest homes / was ever in
and they are so heart-broken over
heir loss. But we know that God
,oeth all things we'll and He can heal
he broken-hearted. Let US look for
3ard to the happy time of meeting
over on the golden shore in that land
where this monster, Death, will never
come and sad parting will be no more,
where all tears will be wiped away,
and where broken hearts, groans and
'ighs are strangers, where all who
ire there are like the glorious body of
our Lord. There we will walk the
streets of gold and sing of Moses and
The Lamb. Odell will be so pretty and
o sweet as she wears her beautiful
lress of white linen, clean and white,
which is the righteousness of saints
have a little girl up there, too, and
we will doubtless see them some day
will be so glad to see them with ali
others who have been redeemed by
our Lord. Brother and Sister, cheer
up and do your best, it won't be long
until you too will be called to your
reward, and then this will all be wip-
I'd out of existence. Jesus will say,
grave, where is your victory; death,
where is your sting?
Our home is so lonely
Since Odell went away,
We weep and mourn only
Because she has gone to stay.
