Sssery ■ o __ iin- the ILL WITH PNEUMONIA Etta Mae, the little seven-months old daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Alvin Brintnell is- seriously ill with pleuro­ pneumonia. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs.. Brintnell will hope for little one’s recovery. the Word has been received in Exeter of the death of Mrs-. Paul Madge which took place at .Milkl River, Al­ ta, on Friday, March 11. Deceased was in her 72nd year. She had been ailing for about a month following a paralytic stroke. Mrs, Madlfe was born in Usborne Township being a daughter of the late William Martin ana was the last surviving member of the family, About twenty-eight years ago Mr. and Mrs. Madge and family left this community for the West, Two years ago Mrs, Madge re­ newed old acquaintances ill this com­ munity. On November 30th last year Mr. and‘Mrs. Madge celebrated their golden wedding jubilee. Besides her bereaved husband she is survived by two daughters and one son: Mrs. (Rev.) A. 13. Johns, of Hamilton; Mrs. Olive Stewart and Martin Madge, of Milk River. The funeral took place at Milk River bn March 14tli, Darkness was over all the earth that first Good Friday even­ ing. That One who had shown such mysterious and cheering power over disease and hunger was in His tomb, Mary had cherished high hopes for her Sen. Now a sword had pierced her heart. The disciples had cherished bright dreams of a delivered nation, Now all such hopes were shattered. The sun sank again in blood. As things had been so they would remain, Evil, cruelty, sickness, death, poverty, were as regnant as ever, There was nothing for it but for beak and claw to rend and fox’ the ape and tiger to triumph, Then came Easter morning. What could the friends of the Crucified do but anoint the body that had borne such an inspiring spirit? To do less was to wreck all that was fine and grateful in the human spirit. That sad rite perfomed there was nothing for it but to leave that body to perish as had perished the bodies of Abra­ ham, David and Isaiah and John the Baptist. Then those stange words; “He is not here; He is risen.” No. .the tomb was empty. And the difference! Sorrow, di­ sease, suffering, death were not the appointed portion of man. Labor and tears and disappointment might ’come to each son of Adam as he passed along his pathway, but for all who lived as He lived and who trusted the Father whom He trusted, there was victory at the last and a joy and happiness so great that no human heart could hold it. Aye, and as each worker toiled there was the companion­ ship and the love and help of One who Himself took the sting from weariness and pain and left His brother only the reward. The dark­ ness was past, The new light shone, the light that never would be eclipsed.
