Obituary

Died, Monday, November 20th, of croup, Madge, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Lovell, aged 4 years, 1 month and 28 days.

By her death is left a void in the hearts of her parents, sister and brothers too deep to be even partially filled with words of consolation or tears of sympathy, but though we grieve for her, let us remember our loss is her eternal gain. Let us remember, too, that we are in the hands of Him who knows when to give and when to take away, who will look upon us in mercy and invites us to call upon him in the day of trouble.

It was the same merciful God who gave us Madge, who has now taken her to Himself, and we must bless Him for sparing her to us so long.
