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.
