When she felt that death was near she called her loving parents to her bedside to bid them farewell; told them that she was soon to leave them and told her mama to dry her tears and meet her in heaven, and to bring papa. She then said grandma will you come too? And as if going to sleep she died. She was only eight years old, but a bright and loving child; loved by all who knew her. While we will miss her in the Sunday School and her dear parents when they gather around, their fireside will see her vacant chair that cannot be filled. But what a consoling through to know that she is now a bright angel in heaven and that at it will not be long ere they will meet their child again. God help the bereaved parents to be faithful until death, that they many join their own little Ethel in the mansions of glory. Mrs. J. N. McNeil Mrs. S. E.
