In Memory Of Mrs. Myers

Mrs. Kate Hallmark Myers was born in 1885 at what is now Crews, Louisiana, and
died at Shreveport Sanitarium after a long and painful illness on March 12,
1927.  She was buried at Mt. Zion Cemetery, Sunday.

She joined the Methodist Protestant Church under the ministry of Reverend Lee,
nine years ago, and left behind to mourn the loss a husband and ten children,
six boys and four girls, her youngest being an infant.

The ordeal of death is a sad feature of life, but when the monster death sucks
at its prey, gentle motherhood with an infant at her breast, from the material
point of view, it is hard to say with Paul, that "Death is swallowed up in
Victory," but the Christian faith finds comfort in the fact that "This
corruption must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality,"
and when this is done, surely Death is swallowed up in victory.  "For since
by man came death, by man also came the resurrection."

Now, my bereaved friends, if you can find comfort in this sad, sad decree of
heaven, only believe and trust God, for Christ's sake and find the peace of
reconciliation in Him who loves you and gave his life for your justification,
and now intercedes for you, full reconciliation, and then you will know of
that happy reunion that awaits every trusting soul.  This is the Christian's
hope, that is distinction of those who have not hope, as I hope for her
salvation, just that strong in my faith in meeting my dear friend on the
eternal shores of deliverance, "If in this life only, we have hope in Christ,
we are of all men most miserable."

In this plain teaching of the Bible is one of the strongest sources of the
Christian joy.  Won't you, the husband and children of your sad home, join the
Christian throng and find peace to your souls in the deep sorrows of this
life, and share with us all the other joys that go with a trusting heart.
