BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH.

Services were well attended all day
Sunday-Miss Mary Benton, who
has been i'll for some time and as
was mentioned in the Sun last week
was waiting for Rev. Hawkins to bap-
tie her, died last Wednesday evening
at 5 p. NJ. without seeing the Shepherd
of the church of her choice but amid
all that we are glad to know that Sis
ter Benton's last words were that she
was ready to meet her God. Even
though she could not have her desires
here. But God says we shall have our
desires sometimes, somewhere. The
funeral was held from Bethel Baptist
church Sunday at 2 p. NJ. conducted
by Rev. Geo. w. Devlin. The church
was filled to its capacity and the
members from Council II of the
Daughters of Jerusalem turned out
to show the respect they held for he
father of the deceased and from the
eloquent resolutions and the beautiful
floral offerings we know that Sister
Benton was held in high esteem. Miss
Benton's last request was hat they
sing these songs at her funeral: "Hark
from the Tomb a Doleful Sound" and
"On Jordan's Stormy aBnks I Stand"
She leaves a mother and father, one
sister and a son, whose life is ebbing
fast away, and a host of other rela-
tives and friends to mourn herloss.
