lBy a Friend

Last Sunday afternoon word was
carried through the community
that Susie Beathe had succumbed to
the malignant throat affection
which had caused her much suffer
ing the past three weeks. Once
more the assertion is brought forci-
bly, to mind that Death loves a
shining mark" Regret and sym.
pathy for the bereaved family are
unanimously expressed. together
with lament that one in the flower
of her young womanhood should be
so cruelty snatched from the shell
tering care of her loved ones. But,
for the whole course of life, any
good and kind child who has gone
before cannot always be recalled
with pain; it is the divine nature
of their qualities to conquer pain
and death itself. and to turn the
memory of them into pleasure.
Other children grow to manhood
and womanhood and suffer all the
changes of mortality, but the one
who is taken in early years is rem
dered an immortal child being
an eternal image of youth and
innocence.
