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 %s£d &WMS&Z& Mrs. Amos Evans. Monroe, Ga. OAK GROVE.
