In Loving Memory of Fannie
"The departed, the departed,
They visit us in dreams;
They flit about our memories
Like shadows o're the stream.
On Saturday afternoon about
5 o'clock, Aug. 5, the shocking
truth was passed from mouth
to mouth: "Fannie is dead."
Is it possible that God in his
goodness should see fit to take
from us this beautiful flower,
to pluck her in the very bloom
*of womanhood ?
Yes, God in his% wisdom saw
that Fannie was "more fit for
heaven than earth, and thus He
called her away in the sweet-
ness of life.
Fannie did not fear to die.
She told her father the evening
she died that she was ready to
gO. What wonderful consola-
tion this is to us to know that
she was ready to meet her Mas-
ter and Redeemer!
Yet how sad we are left when
she is gone; that sweet voice
is stilled; the sweet smile is ab-
sent and in the home there is
one vacant chair. How we miss
her, is impossible for words to
express. But in our grief, we
have a precious promise
"Blessed are they that mourn
for they shall be comforted.'
We feel that we will be com
forted, and when our time
comes to leave this world, we
hope to be able to say, like Fan-
nie, "O Grave, where is thy
victory?" and thus pass out
into the great beyond to join
her in the sunlight of His pres-
ence.
Fannie was the devoted
daughter of C. E. and Annie
Miller. She was born Jan. 4,
1894; was converted and joined
the Baptist church at Dryden
three years ago. She was bap-
tized by her loving pastor, W
H. Foulks. She passed from us
to live with her Redeemer Aug-
ust 5, 1911.
Her life was an example to
all who knew her. She was a
sympathetic friend and a true
Christian., Her precious name
will ever linger in our memory.
Resolved: That we extend
our deepest sympathy to her
bereaved father, mother, broth-
ers and sisters and comfort
them in every way we can.
That a copy of this memori-
um be sent to the Word and
Way, Baptist Worker and the
Hollis Post-Herald.

THIRTY YEARS TOGETHER.
Thirty years of association-
think of it. How the merit of
a good thing stands out in that
time-or the worthlesaness of a
bad one. So there's no guess-
work in this evidence of Thos.
Ariss, Concord, Mich., who
writes: "I have used Dr. King's
New Discovery for 30 years,
and its the best cough and cold
cure I ever used." Once it finds
entrance in a home you can't
pry it out. Many families have
.used it forty years. It's the
most infallible throat and lung
medicine on earth. Unequaled
for lagrippe, asthma, hay fever,
croup, quinsy or sore lungs.
