IN MEMORY OF MARY WHITE Oil Monday' morning, August 15, when Cod, oar Heavenly Father call ed fr m thin world our dear young frio'i: una school m*re Mary, to he an angel in heaven. ? After two weeks of suffering with typhoid fever everything that medical nfi/iii 1H Hn "fn a1/1 Hat wnn uuivuw wuiu uyr w gwr bwi w wj ul physicians, nurse an""3mother devoted their entiretime hut to no avail, for God called her and she was wiiiihg ldgb~Tdr~iBehad a sister wait, log for her over there. We cannot understand why she was taken from our young list of friends and school mates at such an early age of life only eleven years of age Yet we rest in peace to know that sometime, somewhere, the mysterious problem shall be solved thus reveal ing to us all its mystery. How very difficult it was to give her up for we loved her so, but God needed another bright angel to join His band and Mary, our favorite and loving school mate was taken. Mary was a good girl. Her pleasure was to do something to please others, always meeting them with a smile and kind word. A great number of friends and lov ed ones gathered at her home on Mon. day afternoon to pay their last sad tribute. Silently her little school mates passed the beautlfnl white casket, how calm she was, how we longed to tell her she was beautiful and that she would be greatly missed everywhere, at home, Sunday school and at school. Oh, we will miss her smile as we enter the school room. She leaves to mourn her loss, moth, er, one sister and two brothers and a score of relatives and friends. Weep not dear one for God knoweth best, some day He shall wipe away all tears from our eyes and there shall be no more sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any pain for1 the former things shall be passed a way. . * SCHOOL MATE.
