Tributes of Respect
On the morning of Sunday May 15th, Annie Maud daughter of W. T. Gaines, left 
earth for Heaven. A sufferer from infancy with something like asthma, she 
struggled for nearly six years in life's battle, bearing patiently her suffering 
and gladdening with her smiles the father's life. A few months ago the mother 
bid adieu to earth's joys and sorrows and with confidence born of acquaintance 
with Christ entered the dark valley. While loved ones weep here the mother and 
child rejoice in glad reunion among the 'summer hills of God" Life has its 
sorrows as well as joys, but, thank God, that the sunshine of His promises, 
shining through tears of suffering here, gild with the radiance of eternal Life 
the dark blossom of the tomb. One by one we are passing over, nor will it be 
long before father, mother and children will strike hands and 'the anthems of 
the blest" on the crystal shores of eternal life.  O. C. Simmon
