IN MEMORIAM
ARMemaono.—In sad but loving memory of
my dear husband, Chester Armstrong, who
passed "through the gates ajar on Dec-
ember 28(19, 1918.
Dearest Oheeter we have laid thee
In the peaceful grave's embrace,
But thy memory will be Cherished
Till we meet thy heavenly face.
Beautiful toiler, thy work all done,
Beautiful soul, into glory gone ;
Beautiful life with its crown now won
God glveth thee rest,
HIO WIFE
DnxuAN.—In loving memory of Arthur Den-
man, who died one year ago to -day, Dec,
29, 1918,
Days of sadness still come o'er ne,
Tears 112 silence often flow ;
For memory beeps you ever near ne,
Though God called you one year ago.
Friends may think that we forget you --
When at times they see us smile
But they little know the sorrow
That the smile hides all the while.
Yet, dear Art, we hope to meet you
When the day of life has fled ;
There in heaven with joy to greet you
Where no farewell tears are elred.
Sadly missed by PAnasTo AND S1esERs,
