"The old must die and the young may die." This trite aphorism was once more vividly exemplified in the sad bereavement sustained by Ezra E. Eby and family, in the loss of his oldest son, Ira, who died at the early age of 14 years, 3 months and 7 days. The deceased went in the early part of vacation to the farm of his grandfather, Bro. A. C. Clemmer, near Berlin, Ont., where he assisted in the duties of the farm. On the 28th of July, he met with an accident, which ultimately ended his hopeful career in the bloom if life. The facts of the accident are that being asked to keep a door closed for a few minutes to prevent a colt in the stable from escaping, he placed, in youthful sport, a plank against the door and climbed to the top when the support suddenly gave way precipitating him to the ground a distance of about five feet. The fall injured his spine and caused congestion of the brain followed by several other ailments, which baffled all medical skill and on the 26th of August, he peacefully sank to rest in Christ. Ira was a great favorite with his companions, gifted with good scholastic abilities, and possessed of a character which is worthy of imitation, and which must have had a good influence with his associates. A year ago last January he was converted and was a true follower of Christ for about a year, when he showed signs of becoming somewhat negligent and indifferent about his spiritual welfare. He kept up his part in family worship when home with his parents. During the second week of his illness, and when prospects of his recovery were favorable, he became alarmed about the well-being of his soul, and thanks to the Almighty for it, he made a fresh start in serving the Lord. O how he pleaded and prayed for forgiveness for his negligence and disobedience to his Master during the last half year. He requested his parents to pray for him, also to read out of God's word unto him which they did. Thus the greater part of a day was spent by him in prayer, but he still said he had not yet that peace to his soul that he once enjoyed, and he said he would like to have peace again. A few days later on he said, "Now I want to go home to Jesus to dwell with him in heaven." When asked by his father whether he had this hope that if death should call him away, he could go home to heaven, he said, "yes". And when asked whether that fear that he had of being lost was gone, he answered "yes, all is gone;" and his last words that could be understood were: "When I am in heaven this body will be out of suffering." The bereaved family have the consolation of knowing that their dear one died in the firm hope of a blessed inheritance in heaven. How very necessary it is for all to have "their lamps trimmed and burning" is once more clearly illustrated in this sad death, of one who left his home but a short time ago in the bloom of health and vigor, but alas! How different was the home coming. The funeral from the deceased father's home in Bridgeport was attended by a large concourse who followed the remains to the Old Mennonite church in Berlin. The sorrowing family have the sincerest sympathy of the community in their bereavement. But grieve not, for "your earthly loss is Ira's everlasting gain." Why weep and shed those scalding tears Dear parents for your son? Your loss is but a trifle small, Ira's gain a noble one.

He now enjoys eternal rest
In God's celestial home,
He's free from pain, his spirit's gone
In heaven with Christ to roam.
