LITTLE ALINE BAKER
Oil Thursday night the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Allie Baker
! was made sad by the invasiin
of the death angel who carried
a\va\ the spirit of little Alline
Baker, age II years and two
months.
It seems strange that God
sh uld pluck such a young and
tender flower from our midst,
but God’s will be done, and
not urs. The precious little
feet that went pattering over
the floor from morning till
night in a never-ceasing and
untiring way, has stepped. We
can listen for them and watch
for the sweet little smile she,
always wore, but all in vain!
God has called her to His
heavenly home of rest, where i
she, though small, has a place
to fill, and father, mother, bro
ther, sister and relatives must
prepare to meet her on the
other shore where there will
be no more parting.
“Sleep, my little one sleep,
while resting on God’s breast;
Fie will carry you through the
nigged deep, where there lies
x mansion of rest.
