1890 SA1t@So
part since 1920 came in, from the
fact that there has been either sick
ness or. sorrow in or connected with
every family And when we reflected
over the conditions which prevailed,
the bad roads to encounter by those
who could lend helping hand, many
endeavors to get out, soon had them
feeling like they, too, would have to
give up trying.
However, the clouds begin to
brighten; school has reopened after
two weeks suspension, most of the
sick ones improving.
This lovely, though snappy spring
like day all tends to pass the gloom
away, and at the dear Masters wise
command, makes us desire to live
more humbly at His demand.
On the 18th of February our COM
munity was saddened by the death
of Mr.. Presley Doolittle, one of the
most consecrated Christians it has
ever been my privilege to know. He
has been our near neighbor for nine
years. whom we have seen and
known much of his daily life. And
as the time progressed we safely as
sert that lovable and triumphant
victory was won out by his humble
surrender to the will of his God and
Master. Mr.. Doolittle was we'll
wisher to all good work, scorning at
all times the wrong in everything,
and doing his best in an humble,
child-like manner, for the further
ance of the cause he loved, which he
made manifest by his earnest faith
fullness to the work of the prayer
meetings and Sunday school as much
as by his daily walk in life.

wise Providence who has said His

Sometime, sometime we'll under
stand. May the healing power of
grace sustain the bereaved and es-
oecially the lonely companion. His
protecting care rests upon the little
children.
