• Notes

  Musselman.-Amasa, son of Geo. L. and Hannah (Good) Musselman of Waterloo, Ont., was born Jan. 21, 1897; died Aug. 23, 1914; aged 17 y. 7 m. 2 d. On the morning of his death he arose apparently in his usual health, and was helping at the morning work, getting things ready to go to Sunday school and church services, when he was suddenly stricken down with paralysis of the brain. He was the oldest child in the family, and was a great help to his parents, taking an active interest in their work and was always very obedient and industrious. Though morally a very good child, he felt the need of a Savior, and during the meetings held last November by Bro. Amos Geigley, he confessed Christ and joined the Church, and lived an exemplary life to the end. He attended all the services regularly and always listened intently to what was being taught, and when requested to do something in the Y. P. B. Meetings he did the work assigned to him in a meek and quiet way. He will be greatly missed in the services by the minister, Sunday school workers, and his young associates, but most of all will he be missed by his parents and aged grandparents and 2 brothers and 2 sisters. Though we all feel the loss of one we dearly loved, we are comforting ourselves with the thought that Jesus loved him more and has taken him to Himself to be forever free from the dangers and cares of earth. Services and burial at Martin's M. H. near Waterloo, Ont., on Wednesday, the 26th, by the brethren, E. S. Bauman, and Abr. Gingerich. This is the third sudden death in this community within a few months; one an aged pilgrim, one in middle life, and this young brother. Surely the Lord is calling to all to prepare for heaven before we pass into an endless eternity, where no preparation can be made.
