Cairo Messenger, November 25, 1904
In Memorium
Sarah Christine Powell
On Monday morning, November fourteenth, the angel of death entered our town and 
bore away Sarah Christine, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Kader Powell.

Little Christine's short life of eight months and twenty-three days, was full 
of suffering and yet in the midst of pain, she would bravely try to smile and 
cheer us with her baby prattle.

Her life though short, has left its influence; many are the lessons of patience 
that we may learn from her.

The place left vacant in her home is small in space, but who can measure the 
length, depth, and breadth of the vacuum left in the bereaved hearts!  Oh these 
little lambs, how they wrap themselves around our hearts, and how every 
pulsation stops when their little grasp is loosened.

To the bereaved ones we extend our sincere sympathy.  We too have laid to rest 
a little one, and well do we remember how our own hearts seemed buried in the 
little grave.

Let us take up life's burdens afresh and weave into our town lives the sweet 
characteristics of our angel babes, and go forth into the world stronger and 
braver to fight its battles and lift up those whose lives are burdened with sin 
and sorrow.

May the "beckoning hands" of little Christine guide you daily into this higher 
and nobler life and after awhile, when your work is well done, may her spirit 
welcome you into the portals of the Celestial City where an abundant entrance 
awaiteth the children of God.
