IN MEMORIAM.
On them orning of May 29th,
1917, little Clarence Duran an
swered the call to come up high
er, Great indeed is the mys
tery of life and death. Clar
ence died of pneumonia. His!
suffering was great indeed but
his duration was only a few
days. He was twenty months
old and nineteen days. His lit
tie remains were laid to rest in
Salem cemetery, funeral ser
vices being conducted by Rev.
Anderson. He leaves a father
and mother and a lot of close
and friends to mourn
his loss. Clarence was an un
usually bright child and was
dearly beloved by every one
that knew him. We can not un
derstand why one so bright, so
young and so dear to our own
hearts should betaken but the
Lord that giveth taketh away.
Dear faher and mother weep
not for little Clarence but re
joice as the angels of heaven re
joiced when Clarence come
home to die no more, but live
forever in a home not made
with hands. I know yur home
is so dark and lonely without
that precious little light that
made life so bright every hour
lh the day, but it went out on
earth to shine in heaven. We
can not think of him as dead for
his little acts of sweetness still
lives. We can hear the echoes
of his little voice ringing in our
ears, and feel the warmth of
his little lips as he showers our
cheeks with his many kisses.
Blessed be His name for the
| bond of sympathy that makes
us able to suffer together and
bear each other up under the
cross of sorrow. The sympa-
pathy which is heard in every
'voice and written in every face
is an evidence of the Divine in
us and proves that man is
I more than the beasts that per
jish. Blessed be thetie that bind
and the faith and hope that is
leading us on by the way of the
[cross. Watched and kept by
1 Him who hath measured the
waters in the hollow of His
hand, we shall see Him again
there by the throne of God in
