Sad Death of Beatrice Hobbs “ae following from the Roland, Manitoba News, refers to Miss Beat- rice Hobbs, a former Lindsay resiâ€" dent, who passed away near Sper- ling, Manitoba, on October 14th last aged 20 years. “flue deceased was a niece of Mr. James Hobbs, of Janetville, and was a daughter of the late Wm. Hobbs, formerly of Valentia, who died in the Ross Memorial Hospital about five years ago. The fam- about five years ago. The fam- ily afterwards moved to Sperling, While here the deceased attended the Collegiate Institute and followed the vocation of teaching since going to the _.West Her mother died two years ago and she is survived by one sis- ter at Elm Creek, Man. , and three brothers at Sperling. Fred and Joe brothers at Sperling. Fred and Joe and Arthur, the latter being a drug- gist. and was at one time employed at Higginbothatd's drug store: “Then fell upon the house a sudden gloom, A shadow on those features fair and slim , And softly from that hushed and darkened room, Two angels issued, where but one went in." She died early in the morning, Just with the awakening life of a new day she went to sleep like a tired child. It was just as the birds carolled the coming of the morning. and just as the rosy fingers of the orb of day tinted the eastern sky with a sheen of glory, surely a most fitting time for a pure spirit to take its flight heavenward. With the eye of faith one could see at the dawn of this memorable October day (for the brothers and sister) an invisible hand esved‘ a signal and one might haVe heard .a voice in softest accent on the morning breeze announce that God’s angeis were waiting to escort her home. ' life. she cred, trusted and loved. She reared her own monument, while she lived in the hearts of all who knew her. Her life was completed if work all done, and well constitutes comple- tion. Her Christian life was beauti- ful from its beginning to its close, am! through all the vicissitudes and sorrows that she met with in the way her faith in God never wavered. But she has left us, and today the autumn leaves fall upon another grave that hides from our sight all that is ‘mbrtal of a true and noble young woman. In the presence of such a sorrow how cold and impot- ent are words and how doubly deep would be the grief over the grave did ‘ not the rainbow of Christian hope ‘ span the dark gulf between time and eternity. and such a pure bright life as that of Beatrice Hobbs inspire the belief that there is a better world beyond. None but those who have sat in the shadaw of a great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow to the relatives and friends [as this. Those who have gon‘? down into valley of suffering and stood for months by the side of alloved one, as hope atâ€" tar hope dropped away, as the petals 1 fall from a fading .flower, know that] such anguish cannot find solace in even the tenderest words. Her sis- ter Ethel and brothers and friends with a devotion only Christians are capable of, whose strength was. given sweetly tenderly to this precious in- vaaid whose heroic devotion never filteredâ€"could detain her by the clasp of earthly love. But after the laSt word had been spoken, the last sign of recognition was gone, a look of peace settled on her face which proclaimed victory, and they knew she was resting on a mighty arm. PAGE 6 Our town and its people ever held 1 a warm corner in her hart. It was I here the best days of her life were‘ spent. and when her last hour had ‘ come and the God of Eternity called her to her everlasting rest, it was her desire that beneath the shady trees of the German. cemetery, along- side her dear-mother. who had gone on before her but a short twenty-two months agoâ€"surrounded by the hap- piness and contentment of our peo- ple, where in the spring and summer time the flowers are sweetest and the. ‘birds warble their most melodious songs. should be the abiding place of all that was mortal of her. For the Sabbaths of earth she now enioys the never ending Sabbath of heavens. There she awaits the com- ing of her loved ones, and watches near the gate, and remembers that morning is not far Oh when the love of Christ shall bid them enter in and enjoy with her- but busy and useful she had livedâ€"hon- .ing, unalloyed The last services were held at the 4 home of her brother on the following Friday afternoon, Rev. Coleman om- ciating. The flowers were many and 1 beautiful, but not more so than the”; face that rested so peacefully among i them.

The flowers so typical of her whom we mourn, mutely spoke the pathos of a parting word and were placed upon the casket byzfrieuds who loved the sleeper. On those petals ; were tears of remembrance.
