She always had a Smile on her face and a kind and pleasant word for home and all who knew; her. i She loved and was loved by ajl.who knew her. She was a devoted daughter and a loving granddaughter She was always a lit tle bright sunbeam in her home; she was a little flower just begun to sprout. She always tried to cheer her mother, grandmother, aunts, un cle, relatives and friends and play mates as she grew up in wisdom and knowledge and would always speak of her willing mind to become use ful to her race and to family. She had often told her mother and grand mother that if she lived to become grown she wanted the Lord to let her be useful in His works and calls and to take care of them in their older days.

She then often spoke of her mother being a sinner and also to her and her uncle and asked that all of the Christians pray for them as she was' on her way to heaven.

"Since it has pleased the Almighty God to come in our midst it behooves us to bow our heads in grief and our hearts in sorrow and say1 Ye mourning saints whose streaming tears Flow over your little one that's dead; Say not in transport of despair . That all your hope Is fled. Though your youn.g branch Is torn away, Like withered trunks ye stand; With fairer verdue shall ye bloom, Touched by the Almighty hand. I'll give ye mourning saints, saith the Lord, In my own house a place; No names of daughters or of sons Could yield so high a grace. Transient and vain In every hope, A rising place can give; In endless home and delight My children all shall live. We welcome, Lord, those rising tears Through which thy face we see; And bless those . wounds which through our, hearts Propose a place for me. .' Her words the happy parents hear And shout with Joy divine; Oh, Saviour! all we have We pray that It is Thine. She leaves to mourn their loss a mother, father, grandmother, tour punts, an uncle and a host of rela tives and friends. Mother, you have lost a loving and devoted child and also a little flower who always will be -remembered. Grandmother, yon have lost a bright little gem who will always press your heart and remem brance. Aunts and uncles, you have lost one that you never will forget. It Is our loss and heaven's gain. It Is a long warning and a loud calling to the unprepared and to the prepared to fight on. Some day they will meet her In the great beyond never to part again. Her mother and uncle being sin ners, she asks the people to pray for them that they may become Chris tians and meet her. May we all bow our heads in solemn prayer for the bereaved family In their lonely hours and distress and pray for her uncle and mother and pray for her blessed grandmother, who has been fighting for the kingdom so long that she may grow stronger in her older days and that she may fight on until the Lord says thou hast done enough, thou faithful servants, well done.
