J A RR for The Funeral of Ronald Pollard Oxdrift Community was mov- ed to its depths last Sunday afternoon, on the occasion of the funeral of Ronald Ross Poll- ard, the dearly beloved son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Pollard. Ronald was just five years and nine months old and the myster- tous circumstances surrounding his death added much sorrow to the occasion. The United Church at Oxdrift was totally inadeduate to aec- comodate the people who came to show their sympathy. The minister, the Rev. J. W. Howes, conducted the funeral service at the church and also at the grave. The hymns sung were favorite children's songs, along with the hymn Ronald had learned to sing "desus loves me this 1 know." Mr. Howes gave a very com- forting and beautiful discouse on the words of Jesus 'Suffer little children to come unto me." In choice language he spoke of the mystery of life and death of the fact that we are just loaned to each other for a short space of time, therefore we ought ot cultivate each other, love each other, so grow into each other that we create our own immortality. Life is too short and sacred for malice, jealousy and intolerance. The minister spoke of Ronald personally as a darling boy, full of energy and life, growing a lovely little soul, a boy who lov- ed Sunday school and the Jesus who was taught there. Very proudly each Sunday he carried hig offering in the cnvelope and hoped one day to build churches like the one which he called "His Daddys' at Oxdrift. His parents and friends had looked forward to a life of great usefulness yet, somehow, we must believe no life is wasted in God's economy, and might do more good by passing now than living to three score and ten years, for life is meas: ured by intensity and not by duration. Ronald While we regret the shortness of Ronald's life, yet as Christian believers, we sorrow not as those without hope. The Jesus who loved the little children has placed his hand on Ronald' head and blessed him, now he is safe in the Good Shepherds keeping. The speaker continued that the experience is a tremen- dous warning to all people, it staggers us and makes us furi- ously tu think, yet we believe that somehow "'Good will be the final goal of ill,"' that an all loving Father is too wise to make a mistake. In warning tones the minister stressed the fact that when we stand befors the "Great White Throne' it will not be a Theological Exam- ination but a human one, ques- tions of life and conduct. Our prayer should be 'Teach us to live that we may dread the grave, as little as our bed." We say not good-bye to Ron- ald, we kiss him and look for- ward to meeting in God's Bter- nity. : She, Ronald was laid to rest in the cemetary in the assurance that a life so lovely must outlast time and that "God is too wise to err and too good to be un- _with For Curlers Only One Degree Higher The Second Flayer This person is but one degree removed from the lead.

Her frequent stays with her daughter herve, made her to be quite well known, and all who had come in contact with her came to esteem her charac- ter and find pleasure in her company.
