WOMAN PASSES AWAY

gether, of the love of man for
man, than the dear word
Mother
"Friends, the highest privilege
known to mortal man is to be
able to look into the face of the
woman that walked through the
shadows of death to bring you i'll
to this world and say, Mother!
Mother is everything. Mother
signifies and personifies love, unity
of home and family ties. Take
mother out of any home and that
nome is soon a wreck. The old
love, a part of mother, somehow
soon Gibbs away and finally departs
and the little flock that mother,
through love, kept together soon
find themselves scattered to the
four winds.
Friends, we are gathered here
to testify our love and respect
for this noble woman, a Christian
mother and a friend of all who
knew her. She has been called to
her reward. Mrs. Stewart was eV-
erything that could be wished for
in motherhood and womanhood.
She was vine and flower in the
home, happiness, sunshine'and good
cheer to all who knew her. She
gave willingly of all she had, in
GLIDING her time, to help anyone
in sickness or trouble. She &C
cepted the christian faith, and
there lived a no more devout dis
ciple of the Master than she. Sine
was called upon constantly at all
hours of the day and night by
her fellow tribesmen for spiritual
consolation and help in case of
sickness and no night was too
dark or cold, nor the call of the
distressed too far, but what she
was Immediately on the way to the
of trouble. Her health was,
as a result, soon impaired and the
end fastened by this unselfish de-
votion to the cause of others. Well.
might it be said of her-'that
greater love hath no man than
that he lay down his life for his
fellowmen.'
Man must live and die. We all
slave and toll with the problems
of life, whether they be Of an in
divldual or public nature; we all
sooner or later taste jou and SOL
row; we all build permanently for
the remote future as though time
will never fade away our work
praying, hoping and believing that
we all will be happier tomorrow
than we are now; and, it is this
beautiful star of human hope
shining ever brightly on the hori-
zon of our lives that carries US
over and through all the storms
OF life, stress of sorrow, sickness
and even death.
The Divine decree from the
God of Hosts to man when he
was first created in the Garden
OF Eden still stands today, unre-
called-it is: That you and 7
must die The rich, the Door.
the king with staff in hand, the
humble subject, all alike must
answer this call; all must sooner
or later embark upon the river
that flows forever from the shores
OF life to the shores of eternity;
all alike must some day stand
alone before the judgment bar
of God to give a n accounting of
his or her Stewardship upon this
earth. OF all the things of. this
world OF which we have any knowl-
edge the most certain and sudden
is death. It comes swiftly and
is no respecter of persons. It
plucks the tiny bud of childhood
from the %caressing arms of its
mother the flower Of manhood in
its prime and the beautiful flower
OF Womanhood and motherhood in
1ul bloom and relentlessly re-
moves the faded and withered
flower of old age at the sunset of
life; and so, the hand of death
will continue down the ages until
the trumpet of the Archangel shall
sound to announce that the end
Of time shall be no more.
Friends, I wish I could saw
something that would take away
the sting OF death from those
she leaves to mourn her. I wish
I could with words guild their
grlef. but. such is impossible. There
Is, however, this consolation for
them. Those that die in Christ
suHer no more and the authority
for that statement comes from the
Garden OF Gethsemane, when Jesus
Himself was about to be BETRAYED
nv Judas and taken by the SOL
diers to be nailed upon the cross,
