One more dear one has passed be-
hind the eternal shadows, and though
we call to her lovingly, tenderly, our
only answer is an echo Irom the
dread silence. Weary with the strug-
gle, she paused by the wayside to rest
and sank into that dreamless slum-
Der that knows no waking. For her.
the star of hope shone clear and
bright, a promise of something bet.
ter beyond the sunless sea; a relief
of all the burden and pain endured
in this fieeting life. Beset by all the
torture that an aggravated disease
could impose, she bore it all with the
resignation and courage of a true SOL
der of the cross, setting her faith dn
Him who said, "Come unto me, and
l will give YOU rest" A true woman
good wife and mother, her loss to
her bereaved family is most keenly
felt.
"We shall meet but we shall miss her
There will be one vacant chair;
We shall linger to caress her,
While we breathe the evening
