MISS ELIZABETH PIERCE BOWMAN.
At the home of her parents, in Fredericksburg,
Va., on February 24, Miss Elizabeth
Pierce Bowman, daughter or Dr.
and Mrs. D. C. Bowm&n, after a brief illness,
passed away quietly ana sweetly.
"So sets the morning star
Which goes not down into the darkened
West;
But fades away into the light of heaven."
This sad bereavement has caused the
hearts of many young people and numerous
relatives and friends to vibrate with
tender emotion, for few possessed a
sweeter, more cenial- nr invntiio
t!on than dear Lizzie.
But, oh, what words can express the
grief of that household in which she was
better known and loved! There in the
home circle, those nameless graces which
tell of industry, tenderness and affection,
daily and hourly found expression.
A child of the covenant and trained to
love and reverence the word of God, she
grew in grace, and in the spring of 1905
un:ted with the church to which she was
devoted. She loved the Sabbath School
and the study of the Bible, and in a conversation
with her mother the evening
previous to her death said "she was not
afraid to die."
The light of Christian hope illumines
the grave and we rest on his gracious
word. The Father has tenderly gathered
her to his bosom.

submission, which was as beautiful as it
was divine. But the best medical skill
and the most faithful nursing by father,
mother and friends could not stay the
hand of disease in her last critical attack.
The messenger had come, and
while loving friends were watching beSiv?e
her "the silken cord" was loosed and
her sweet spirit entered the joys of
heaven.
Appropriate and beautiful selections
were read by her pastor. Rev. J. H. Henderlite.

Sorrowfully we turned away as the last
sad rite was performed, but with surpassing
sweetness came the thought, that as
pure and lovely as the beautiful flowers
that covered her grave would she appear
in the resurrection morn.
She leaves a devoted father, mother,
two sisters and a brother; also, many
relatives in Virginia and other states
whose hearts are saddened by this
stroke, but they and the bereaved ones
here have the sweet consolation that
they sorrow not as those that have no
hope. Then let us look away from this
dark, cold earth of sin and sorrow and
view her transplanted in the paradise of
angels and of God.

GEORGE MASON WALLACE.
At his home, In Washington City, December
23, 1908, George Mason Wallace.
He was born at Glen Wallace, Virginia,
and reared amid the associations of a
Christian home, and had been given in
early childhood to God in covenant.
In all the relations of life he had borne
his part bravely and faithfully, but God
saw his work was done and, as the old
year was closing, the soul of this noble
Virginia Southerner and gallant Confederate
soldier passed out of the shadows
of earth to the light eternal.
