Wodr.esday January 9th onr
community was hold almost spell
bound when the newn of the un
timely death of Miss Dorothy
Daniel came to our homes, and to
day our hearts are sad and s^riev^
ed for there is'a'vacant place on
our school-ti'uck, there is a vacant
seat in our'clnss room, there is' a.
name on our Phiiathea roll bock
which will nevW ho responded to «
offain; and there* is n vacant spot
In my heart which never can be
filled, ,
Dorothy was a faithful memb^
of oiir Junior Phiiathea, class'at
Tiirrentin. llaptlHt Church and
she will he missed so much by
her teacher, and fellow co^work-
er8,.fQr v/e all loved her.
,. in high, school she was first In
the: estimation of her teach'ers
an^ cli^^inatjes,;,' because she was
always obj^ient/'ulndand gentle.
She was adored bya-loving father'
cherished ty a f-aithful grand
mother and gramifather and lov-
;ed' and TespecUd by everybody
that knew her/
Hei; life was short, her mission'
was-soon filled;,what'that mission,
,wW wehavia yet to learn. AH
that we-know is that Dorothy is
gone: Her gentle spirit has
taken its fijght' over the purple
hills'^^md beyoiid the softly glow*
iDjS ffih of Out of ihe
moruinig.a*ci:o^/the';W^ arch
way of noontide, down to bunset,
out of the dim'and clamor, out of
the fierce pasaion of co'mbat into
the dreamless silence whose sha
dows mark the pathwaV to the.
Beyond earth's darkening horizon
through the curtained . gloom of
night, far upon the Gethseraane,
over the quaking summits of 'Cal
vary into the realms of glory,
where God's banners never fail
and where victory is sure.
The shadows lie so dark and deep
today
Along the path, they darken at!
the way;
My heart is sore and heavy with
pain,.
I seek a word of cheer, but word's
are vain,
III days to come ii -may bo we
shall see.
Just why, this bitter test,
Till then we can but bow in bll-
tor tears and say; " *
"God knowth best."
We miss her dear jtace and sun •
ny smiles, her sympathy and her
love. Our hearts were near
broken with grief as we scatter
ed fair blossoms above where she
is sleeping. There freed from
pain, securs from ^misory, lies
Dorothy; the darling of her jiur-
cnts eyes.
A gentler lamb ne'er sported on
I the plain,
jA fairer flower will never bloom
I again.
Pew were the clays allotted to her
j breath,

This good man passed a life of

Day by day he lived as he.dledr*.
