These two walked life's journey
together for forty-six years and
twenty-six days. The Lord has been

companionship together. Five chill

died in infancy About twenty
three years ago Willard +. Criscillis
was taken away just as he was bloom
ing into young manhood. The par
ents were blessed with the privilege
Of staying with and caring for all
the other children until they were
grown.
This happy walk. blessed compan-
lonship, sweet and loving fellowship
was interrupted on March goth, 1916
when husband and father. without
notice to loved ones, suddenly cross
ed over the River and was at Home
with the Lord, (which was far bet

very great shock to companion and
children who were left behind. So

these months intervening we can
better understand. Since his home
going, wife has looked forward with
anxious anticipation Of the reunion
over there. After only two years,

en- Of the loved ones and earthly
home here for loved ones and the
Heavenly Home there. The home
is being depleted here, but the home
circle is being completed there-may

In going away. the mother leaves
two sons, one daughter and four
grandchildren. The sons and daugh-
ter are James. Joe and Miss Ida
Criscillis. These are among our best
and most honored citizens. May the
Lord graciously sustain and bless
them in their bereavement.
Our departed sister. together with
her husband, was buried with Christ
in baptism about twenty three years
ago. These have been years of
fruitful service. Her love and de-
votion to her Savior has been very
marked. She was faithful to her
church and loyal to her pastor. As
she lived and gave her life for Others,
her love grew stronger for her Saw
Tor. Only a little while before she
went away, she feebly whispered,
Bound up with love-. All that she
tried to tell Of that love could not be
understood. Though not able to ex-
press all she desired, she is now able |
to express full heart of love in the |
Masters presence above. She tried |
to sing the old song. "There'll Be No |
Stormy Clouds There" She said II
am going home to Jesus Yes many
clouds had gathered over the way
through life's journey here but these
have all passed away and the soul is
going out through clear sky into
eternal day. And there shall be no
night there: and they need no candle,
neither light Of the sun; for the Lord
God giveth them light" Her body
was laid to rest in the Lancaster
Cemetery beside that of her hus-
bands. As the thoughts of children
and loved ones go to that spot, may
hey cheerfully sing with the poet:
they shall sleep, but not forever,
There will be glorious dawn.
Re shall meet to part, no, never,
On the resurrection morn.
They shall sleep, but not forever,
In the lone and silent grave:
Blessed be the Lord that taketh,
Blessed be the Lord that gave.
In the bright eternal city
Death can never, never comet
In His own good time He'll call them
From their rest to Home, Sweet
Home"
