Sister Eliza Tnylor died July 21, 1894, of paralysis. She was born in Washington county, Jiriy 25, 1894. She was the eldest daughter of David and Mary J. Mend, and was married to George- W. Taylor January 1, 1866.

In early life she became a Christian, and, with her husband, remained a faithful and devoted member of the body of Christ till death. Sister Taylor was the mother of eleven children, four of whom preceded her to the mystic land; three of them laid to rest in Washington county, and one at Dexter, Cowley county, where on July 30, in the presence of a large circle of relatives and sympathizing friends her body was gently laid rest. The funeral services were held at the residence, where the writer spoke a few words of to the sorrowing. "Beyond the chilly winds and gloomy skies, Keyond de-ith's cloudy portals, There is a where beauty never dies, And love becomes immortal.

The Writer was called to speak some words of comfort to the sorrowing family and friends, which, in our weakness, we did as best we could; after which the little body was laid to rest in the silent city of the dead to await the resurrection morn. The bereaved family has the sympathy of thoir many friends in this their sad hour of distress. May the promises of Christ comfort, cheer and strengthen the broken-hearted, knowing that little Paul has gone to rest, where we all hope to meet in the sweet bye and bye. "There is no death the stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore, And bright in heaven's jeweled crown They shine forever more." J.

C. Frazee. BOCOOK. Little Lester Bocook, son of Brother J. E.

and Sister Bocook, departed this life July 28, 1894, aged 18 months and 26 days, after a few days of terrible suffering with cholera infantum. The oarthly life of this dear babe faded away just as the sun sank behind the western horizon to "rest" to rise brightly in the morning; so his little worn and suffering body sank to rest until the resurrection morn, then to rise to ever brightly shine in endless day; and, oh, the dear parents realize its spotless purity and bo childlike, that they may meet their little an thrust. For a time the artist was per neck and say: "1 will not be aseamed to love and kiss you, mother, when I am a man."

He is no longer in danger of the pitfalls of sin, nor surrounded by a cold, cruel world. His little feet will not be forced to climb the slippery path of this life alone, or sometimes even worse. He is free from all sin and is an heir of all righteousness. "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow nut, even as others which have no hope." Now, dear bereaved ones, let this be a lesson and a solemn warning to us all. We can not bring him back, neither would we if it were in our power; but we can go to him in one way only and that 18 to become as pure as he "for of such is the kingdom." If we ever expect to see him again, we must live devoted Christian lives.

Iscl, daughter of Ben-nie and Lou Holcomb, died July 15, at the age of 2 years, 7 months and 3 days; a lovely child, the pride of her parents, undefiled by sin.

Death came at an unlooked-for moment, as she had been in good health till a short time before. The rose may bloom early, but it soon fades and is gone. Isel's stay, as the joy of her parents, was short, but she is gone to enjoy the brighter clime of the paradise of God. writer preached from Matt. 18:3, which offered not only consolation to dear oues, to so live that when you die you may have the hope that is sure and steadfast, and that is an anchor to the soul.

Heb. You will miss him everywhere. The moaning of the wind will be but sighs for the loved one. Children's play will only be a remembrance of Jimmie, every sound to you will be utterance of his name, every nook and corner of your place will now be his photograph, in your dreams you will embrace, and caress him, but on awaking he is not there. On your return home you will be disappointed becauso he can not meet you, when you eat, with eyes that see not, you will behold the vacant chair.

Again let me ask you to be faithful; and for comfort read the following scrip-turos: Dan. Jno. 5:25, 28, 29; II. Pet. Rev.

22; I. Thess. "Wherefore comfort ye one SPARR DEAN. $10 for 15 Years. another with these words." T.
