Wednesday evening, October 31, just as the shades of night had curtained the earth, the angel of death came with a summons calling home Leroy LEE, youngest son of Thomas and Rachel LEE. aged 6 years and 5 months. This is the second call of death at this home since the blooming of flowers in June, it is indeed, a trying hour, when we are called upon to witness the departure of the little ones we so dearly love, and then to have a repetition of such an affliction in a few short weeks, is almost more than heart can endure. One by one "they're gathering homeward from every land" and from every family, where is the household that death has not entered? if, indeed, one can be found, are not their days, like the hairs on their head, also numbered? Ah, yes. "we, too, shall come to the river side, We are nearer its waters each eventide." Mr. and Mrs. LEE have the sympathies of the entire community. But human sympathies cannot fill the vacant seat at the fireside, neither can they restore the severed cords, in such hours of affliction to whom shall we go? shall we meekly bow in submission to God's will and say "Thy will be done?" What else can we do? And since God has willed to thus deal with us, let us conclude, that in view of the atonement which Christ has made for original sin, that it is "well with the child". D. w. R.
