Why is it that in life we often
look downward when shawdows
darken our path waj? There is
no more reason to do it in the
journey of life than in the walk in
the fields. A cloud can do more
than hide the sun for a little while;
it cannot destroy it, we are not
afraid of that, neither can the
brightness of God’s face which
shines conti lously.

Mr. Bernice Bositner
Passes away
On last Thursday a. m. July 26,
1923 the death Angel came to the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Boatr.er,
and bore away to their heavenly
home, the spirit of our beloved
brother and son, William Bernice
Boatner. He was born January
23, 1900 and united with the
Jonesboro Baptist August, 1921
where he became a regular at
tendent at Sunday School and
Church
Bernice was a faithful and obe
dient son and a loving brother.
He is survived bv his father
and mother, Mr. and Mrs. B. B.
Boatner; one brother, Fred Boat
ner; two sisters, Mrs. A. Q. Joiner*
of Jonesboro, and Mrs. R, M. Mor
ris near McDonough.
He has gone on to Join the ce
lestial choirs of the heavenly city
and to rest from his labor here.
He is there today watching and
waiting, yes, watching and wait
ing for you and me.
A vacant place will long remain
in our home. We loved him and
we are going to miss him. We
cannot understand why God in
His great love will take from us
such lovely flowers unless it is to
beautify that heavenly home. It
is hard to give up our loved ones,,
but yet, we know God doeth all
Ihings well. Yet, we the family
feel a great consolation, this being
the last words of uur dear love
one: I’m going home. Mother*
don’t you want to go with me.
Yes our love ones go on before*
but if we do as Jesus wants us to,
we know that we will all meet
again. One who loved him.
