In Memory of Johnsie Little
(Contrihutedl,

(Contrtbutedo'
This is a bright, glad, beautiful
world, fragrant with the, odor OF
flowers, tuneful with the songs
of birds, resplendant with the
glories Of earth and sea and sky
And yet its attractions are un-
noticed by family and many
friends of Johnsie as they think
of the cruel and relentless hand
of death, with its icy clasp, which
has snatched a flower from our
midst. The sky now seems to be
hung with black and somber cur
tains. Our vision is o'ercast with
gloom and sorrow. Without the
presence Of Johnsie the world
will indeed seem empty and
cheerless, and in our hearts there
is a dreary, dismal aching void:
1t is true God moves in mys-
ferrous ways his wonders to per-
form, but what a great consol-
alton to know Johnsie is at rest.
She had been in feeble health tor
some time but was confined to
her bed only a few days before
she died. Her poor, worn frame
will never more be be racked
with the agonies of pain. Her
suffering is at an end. But it
will only be a little while until
every one shall cross that dark
river and then see little Johnsie
an angel shining bright.
How much we missed her sweet
voice when we gathered around
her casket to sing the songs and
paid the last sad rites, but thanks
be to God who gives us the vic
tor over death, Johnsie can sing
with us ar Jund His throne in
heaven where there will be no
more parting.
We shall never hear her gentle
footsteps any more, and life will
be sad without her, for there is
another missing link. Johnsie
was a sweet child and loved by
all who knew her. She was a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Bryant
Little. She leaves three sisters,
a brother and a fond father and
mother to mourn her loss. May
God in His wisdom help the be-
reaved family to in this time of
deep affection:
Sleep. Johnsie, sleep. and take your
rest
God called you home, He thought it best;
1t was hard. indeed. to part with thee;
But Christ's strong arm supported me-"
