much until about nine o’clock,

to an end what wpuld have been
quite a success. The writer has

While we all knew Blonnie had
been in feeble health, yet the
Messenger for her sweet spirit
came unexpectedly to us. All

do to stay the hand of death was
done. God knew best and took
her to Himself. Another home j CCLSh Orders OMOUJltllig to

Henderson Baptist, church whon
a little girl, baptised by Dr .B.

Elko Baptist church by letter and
lived a devoted member until
death, doing good as she had op
portunity.
Resolved, That the church and
community have lost a good wo

gain, and humbly submit to an
all-wise God.
