IN MEMORIAM.

While sorrow and trouble are not
new experiences, and are the common
lot of all,-there are, however, times
when the clouds are especially low and
heavy,-and we pass through life's
bitterest experiences.
We are fortunate, if at these times
we are able to draw aid and strength
from the only sources of supply,-if
we can catch glimpses, even through
small riffs, of the sun beyond.
l think the sources of light, are
both human and divine, the sustaining
Strengthening power Of God and man.
Divine in that our hope is laid on one
that is mighty,-the Creator our
Heavenly father,-and that His Son
our Saviour, has travelled the dusty
road of life, and undergone it's bitter
est experiences. Being in life our ex-
ample, and in death, establ shing,
and assuring our hope of the resur-
rection.
The human source is manifested in
the comforting helpfulness of true
friends,-who put into practice the
precepts of heaven, and make real
and tangible the sweetest and tender
est relations of earth. We wish 'stc
thank our friends for the kindness.
and sympathetic thoughtfulness, ex-
pressed in our sorrow and bereave-
ment.
