Besides these he leaves a number of other relatives and friends to mourn his death. The writer had known him hardly a year, but feeling the ache in her own heart, deeply sympathized with all to whom he was so dear. Wep not dear ones, There will in time come into your life a sweet memory as the years go by. Time will help heal the wound. His memory will become a divinity, recollection of his sweet life, will in time gild the clouds of your shadowed life like the tents of a setting sun. When your heart seems almost crushed with this burden of sorrow, think of the happiness that is his. Think how much our sorrow and suffering he has spared, he is now a treasure in a better world. The gate there which he passed to peace and joy unspeakable is left open so that in due time we may follow. He can not come back to you, but you can go to him. Let this be your consolation and strive to enter in. His spirit to pure for this duel mortal strife, has flown to it’s father, the giver of life. Yet weep not as those who sorrow in vein, for in mansion’s of rest you shall meet again and to his friends and loved ones, my sympathy I extend as ask that god may bless you, till life it’s self shall end. R. A.
