IN kleha 81 Of My
Little Friend.

:
How our hearts were saddeued
when we heard that the death
angel had visited the home Of
Mr. and Mrs. ". Nv. ElIerbe and
took from them their Oldest
daughter, Willie
She had beensick quite while
with pneumonia which develop
ed into pluricy and on Dec. 81,
1921 God took her to light his
shining band in heaven,
Willie was a sweet girl in every
way, she was always seen smil-
ing.
We all feel sure that Willie is
at rest, Although the home will
be;lonely without her, we will all
strive to meet her in heaven, and
may something be said ere ! fin.
ish this that will comfort the be-
reayed ones.
Let us remember that God a.
lone can give us comfort
FOR THE BEREAyED ONES.
In Thy wisdom, whose ways are past find
ing out.
Thou hast appointed our dear ones unto
tear
Thou hast called them into sorrow, where
great loneliness and anguish wiring their
hearts.
Grant Father that they may meet Jesus
there. This is all We can pray
Our laundering lips cannot comfort them'
our blind eyes cannot decern the pvr-
pose of thy providence.
But Oh Father of love, draw these sor-
rowing ones close to Thy self in the
person of sympathetic Savior.
Willie was buried at Zion Jan.
lst, 1922. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Leon NJ,
