J. Lake away to the mansion of God. He was born August 30, 1888, aged two years three months and ten days. It is sad indeed to part with loved ones, but the Savior has said, "Suffer little children to come unto me." We cannot but, with sad hearts and tearful eyes, look upon the house of clay in which our loved ones dwelt. We lift our hearts heavenward, knowing they are with Jesus. Dear parents, your little boy is not dead, but lives with God. Trust in God, as he has promised to be with you in the sixth trouble and not to forsake you in the seventh. A. G. SCRUGGS.
