It is with feelings of profound sadness that we approach the mention of the heart rending privation caused by the taking away of little Jimmie.
There have been many sad bereavements in our little community, but none more peculiarly so, than that which has visited the parents of this precious child. Only three short months ago they were called upon to put away from their sight the remains of their noble son, just entering the gates of a promising young manhood, the entire community joining as one man in offering profoundest sympathy and condolence, and now again their only remaining son. Little Jimmie was gifted with a sweet and winning nature and a charm of manner peculiarly his own, which won the hearts of all who came in close contact with him. He was a child dearly beloved and enshrined in the "holy of holies" -- the innermost sanctuary of his parents' affection. Now that he is gone, friends can only look on in sympathy and sorrow, and offer words of christian comfort. We have all felt at times what a mockery and a futile waste of breath are words of human consolation to the hearts of those that mourn in the early hours of bereavements. But God tempers the winds to his bereft; the winter of desolation will pass and under the sunshine of God's goodness will no longer repine for these dear ones who have gone on a little while before. As we hurry on in life's work, eager to gather in the sheaves of blessing and bounty on the way, the time will quickly come when we too will be called to tread the border-land of the great beyond and "we shall know as we are known."
"Sometime, when all life's lessons have
been learned,
And the sun and stars forevermore have
set.
The things which our weak judgment here
have spurned,
The things o'er which we grieved with
lashes wet,
Will flash before us, out of life's dark night,
As stars shine more in deeper tints of
blue,
And we shall see how all God's plans were
right,
And how what seemed reproof was love
most true.
Then do not rebel, but be, content, sick
heart,
Like lillies, pure and white, God's plans
unfold;
We must not tear the tender leaves apart;
Time will reveal their hearts of gold.
And if, the journey o'er, we reach the zone
Where bruised feet, with sandles loose,
may rest.
'Neath waving palm shad then we'll own
"Our Father knew the best."
