OBITUARY. LITTLE ETHEL EARL BARNETT. The golden tint* of the summer sunset had given place to the purpling shades of dusky night; the flower* lay sleeping; the trills of forest bird* were hushed,—yet over a happy home the merciless angel of Death brooded, like the messenger of evil, f-irjhe had borne away from that home its brightest snnbeara, who, in her short, fair life had nestled solov- ingly into those bleeding hearts, A dainty form, still and cold, lay unclRsped by moth er’s loving arms. Eyes that beamed with Heaven's own light, drooped beneath white lids that no hnman | voice of love could ever raise again. Two soft, dimpled hands, loose' ly holding white buds, lay quietly folded In coffined rest; sweet baby lips, upon which lay no taint of sin, were now unresponsive to kiss or call of love. A little white coffin, the casket which held the pearl which the lov ing Savior had need of to complete the Jew els In Hls crown. The light tn the home had become darkened, loving hearts were bowed with grief. To those fond parents, we would say. look not through your blinding tears upon tr.e tiny mound of earth for your little one, but, through the clear eyes of Faith, up to the “gteat, while throne," where she shines with a pure, white light, to lead yon through this darksome vale, up to that beauteous realm where no shadow ever falls. Bye-bye, Baby Ethel, ’till we meet thee again ’mid Eden's bloom and beauties. “Grlev e not for your little one. Whom you to car th have given; God saw she was fair, and took her home To All a bright place In Heaven. ‘‘Grieve r ot for your little one; Think not of her under the sod; She’ll meet >ou at the gate of Heaven, In the beautiful City of God.’’ A Loving Friend of Hi r Motuer.
