In Memoriam

I was on the night of September 17th that little Clyde Ofton DONALD, son of 
Mr.T. E. And Mattie DONALD, looked upon love ones and and faithful watchers 
for the last time. Hardly can we realize that little Clyde is dead, he who 
bright smiles and cheerful voice fraught such comfort to this home. His 
mission on earth was short - two years, four months and eleven days - but 
even in this short time , he displayed very amiable traits of character. He 
possessed a happy disposition, and it seemed his mission was to make others 
happy.
  But little Clyde is gone - gone to be with God, gone to be an angel, gone 
to be an inhabitant of the Glory World. Weep not fond parents, your little
darling is not dead, but sleepeth. Our Savior said while on earth : "Suffer
little children to come unto me and forbid them not , for such is the 
Kingdom of Heaven"  Oh! There is a day coming
"When on a green --owery mount
Our Weary souls shall rest
And with transporting joys recount
The labors of our feet"
J.E.V.
