On Dec. 31, 1931, the call went forth from the courts of the Blessed for the third tift# from our home for another jewel for the throne of our Lord and Master. When tho call was made for our mother, Elizabeth Rebecca Wall, thei\? were those there wondered and i stood silent. One spoke, "Why! should it be?" We hav e th«;j brother Tross, who died in i France- We have the father ; and their brother Joe. How can; they bear another, when twoi of their loved ones have been taken in little over a year ? Tlv father, the guiding hand of all, and the brother Joe whom they all loved and depended upon so much, leaving a loving wife and two small children in this world of sorrow. Will it not be too much sorrow on all for another to be taken so quick? These are the daughters, on whom they have leaned for comfort, help and love for so long. What can ever fill the vacancy. On whom can they lean for comfort and guidance? There are the devoted sons, who need her love, care and guidance, now in their matured manhood. In the stress and pri>ss of the business wUrld, they can not spare their moth-j er. There are children there, whom she has mothered; howi can they walk alone without her, without her strong arm of refuge? How can they pass through all the trials and temp tations, through which they must pass undefined if they come to this blessed place without her protection. Then, there are those who,! when they go down in the depths of suffering, how they| need her t 0 hold their hands and comfort. When they havej con.e up from the depths, howi they will want her to rejoice, with them. All hearts are now wrung with anguish at the thought. Then one said: "It is best," and all was silent. A new song was sung as a white winged messenger started earthward, accompanied by the comforter, whom the Father! sends, and; when he had poured in the oil of consolation, and comfort,! ! thoy could all look up and say ! """.•om the depths of their broken hcirts. "Thy will be done." I At 2:30 o'clock the one who I lir.-.l lingered bore her tenderly!

Now our mother knows what it is to be safe at home. A wonderful being is a mother. Other folks may love you, but only your mother understands. Mother works for you, cares for you, loves and forgives you and when you leave her, like a guardian angel, her memory is always with you. We love her for her tended words and deeds in childhood days. Her admoni tions mild, but firm. Her words of love and praise. We love her for her heart of gold. A 1 treasure ever dear- For mother | love more priceless grows, . with every passing year.
