When Nancy Lewis Bond passed
sway one of the bravest hearts was
united with its maker; a heart that
never faltered in its loyalty and devo-
ton to the cares and responsibilities
that life and motherhood had brought
10 her, and cheerfully and hopefully
did she bear with the Affections of the
past few years. Her mind and heart
were a { all times filled with happy
wishes for these neighbors and friends
who shared her acquaintance and to
did qualities, and for the valor with
which she withstood her bodily afflic-
tions can all say:
Well done, thou brave and noble
heart heart that was the highest eX-
preston OF divinity"
To the family and loving sisters and
brother and all friends OF Nancy Lewis
: Bond there is offered this consolation
IN sorrow:
AND THE CLOUDS SHALL NOT RE-
TURN AFTER THE RAIN"
However dark and threatening the
clouds may be. however vivid the light
ninSs flash and the thunder's roar
however wild the tempestuous winds
when they have poured out their de-
uge they will pass away and never
more return. The waves dashed into
roaming pillows by the tempest may
so toss your frair bark that you CRY
out All thy waves and thy pillows are
going over me-" but their infinite as
sault shall cease, and die down into
an infinite Caress. and from bluer skies
and through purer airs the sun will
shine your tears away. OF every sor-
row you may trustfully say This also
shalI pass away" Even the pangs OF
