Of a dear friend, Mrs. Jos- 1 hephine Echols, who departed this life January the sth, 1917 words cannot tell the sorrow that filled our hearts when we heard the death angel had vis ited that home and took our friend. I would say to her fam ily weep not for she is far better off than we. She was laid to rest in Sharon cemetery, Rev. R. H. Thompson conducting the funeral services. Truly a good woman is gove, she was always ready to lend a helping hand to hose in need. She was never so busy but what she had time to visit the sick often, when I was sick with typhoid fever I have been cheered by her pleas ent voice but I will never hear her sweet voice on earth no more but I hope some day to meet my friend on that other shore. Oh, how her friends and the churches will miss her for she was always ready to speak a word for the blessed Savior. She leaves a husband, two sons, five daughters and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her departeure but we feel assured that our loss is her eternal gain. Tis hard to break the tender cord when love has bound the heart to speak the words we must forever part Not now but in the coming years it may be in the better land we’ll read the meaning of our tears and there sometimes we’ll understand. God bless her family and protect them from harm and shield them from danger with thy strong arms. Dear mother is gone they’ll see her on earth no more, God be with them wherever they go May they be ready thy call to oby looking to Jesus is the only true way and meet their dear mother some bright day in that sweet home forever to stay a sleep in Jesus for from thee thy kindred and thy friends are thee but thine is still a blessed sleep from which none ever wake to weep.
