OBITUARY
Helen Ross
Little Helen Ross, daughter of Dr. H. R. and Mrs. Mary Ross, passed from the home of her parents to Him who ‘gathers the lambs with his arm and carries them in his bosom,’ on Friday, Nov. 15th, at 2:45 p.m. On December 23d, she would have reached the end of her fourth year. The disease which ended her days on earth was “multiple neuritis.” The attack was in acute form. She was sick less than four days. She was a sweet, beautiful child, and filled a large place in the hearts of her parents and many others. To the natural sorrow attending such a death, there was the added poignancy of the absence of the Dr. from home at the time of her sickness. He was not able to reach home until the second day after her death. The funeral service was held in the United Presbyterian church on Monday at 2:30 p.m. conducted by the pastor, assisted by Rev. J. U. Brush, of Saxman.
The beautiful tribute of sympathy that was extended to Dr. and Mrs. Ross in this great bereavement was very touching indeed and was much appreciated. The sorrow of these parents was soothed and alleviated by the rich comforts of Christ. These verses may express something of their resignation to His will.
“Lat night our little child lay dead, In agony we knelt and said, O God what have we done, Or in what wise offended THee, That thou didst take away our little girl. Last night as our dear babe lay dead, Before our eyes a vision spread, Of things that might have been – Licentious riot, cruel strife, forgotten prayers, A wasted life, dark red with sin. Then with sweet music in the air, We saw another vision there, A Shepherd in whose keep, A little lamb, our little child, of worldly wisdom undefiled, Lay fast asleep. Last night as our dear babe lay dead, In these two messages we read, A wisdom manifest, And tho our hearts are all bereft, we are content, To Him, we bow, who knoweth best.” C. H. S.

OBITUARY
When Miss Amy Ross breather her spirit out last Monday night in her sister’s home at Viola, Kansas, there passed into the heavenly world a soul beautified with the beauty of Christ. Heaven is richer and earth is poorer by the transfer of this soul to the spirit world. Miss Ross was born April 30, 1877, at Birmingham, Iowa. Sickness some fifteen years ago left her with heart lesion, which incapacitated her for heavy physical work. She graduated from Cooper College in 1902. She had chosen the foreign mission field for her life work but the Lord chose his field for her and kept her in the homeland. The affliction which ended in her death on Monday, May 3, 1909, has lasted six years. She has been almost helpless physically since the disease commenced its work. A great part of that time she spent in Sterling at the home of her brother Dr. Ross, and at the Sterling Hospital. She has also spent considerable time with her brother Wilson Ross and her sisters Mrs. Lindsay and Mrs. Black. Wherever she was she gave herself to mission work for and with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Her life has been like Mary’s box of precious ointment – a blessed aroma in every place she has been whether in the hospital or in the homes, and that aroma has filled very many hearts. By her prayers, her sweet Christ-like spirit, her kind words, and letters, she bore a blessed message from Christ to many souls, Tho a shut-in for six years, there was really no limitation to her service for Christ. She was accustomed to sending this little verse in many of her letters. She had derived much comfort from its counsel and she wanted everyone to share that comfort with her.
A Cure for the Blues
The little sharp vexations
The briers that catch and fret,
Why not leave all with the Helper
Who has never failed us yet.
Tell Him about the heartache
Tell Him the longing too
Tell Him the baffled purpose
When we scarce know what to do,
Then leaving all our weakness
With the on divinely strong
Forget we bore the burden
And carry away the song. By Phillip Brooks
Her funeral service was held in the United Presbyterian Church on Wednesday, at 2:30 p.m., conducted by the pastor assisted by Dr. Spencer. The casket was covered with beautiful floral offerings from her college class, the hospital, and many other friends. The last word she was heard to utter was, “I received it yesterday, the welcome. plaudit “well done, good and faithful servant. Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord. Yea saith the Spirit, they do rest from their labors and their works do follow them.
