The Cairo Messenger, November 25, 1904
IN MEMORIUM
On Monday morning, November fourteenth, the angel of death entered our town and bore away Sarah Christine, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Kader Powell.
Little Christine's short life of eight months and twenty-three days, was full of suffering and yet in the midst of pain, she would bravely try to smile and cheer us with her baby prattle.
Her life though short, has left its influence; many are the lessons of patience that we may learn from her. The place left vacant in her home is small in space, but who can measure the length, depth, and breadth of the vacuum left in the bereaved hearts! Oh these little lambs, how they wrap themselves around our hearts, and how every pulsation stops when their little grasp is loosened.
To the bereaved ones we extend our sincere sympathy. We too have laid to rest a little one, and well do we remember how our own hearts seemed buried in the little grave.
Let us take up life's burdens afresh and weave into our own lives the sweet characteristics of our angel babes, and go forth into the world stronger and braver to fight its battles and lift up those whose lives are burdened with sin and sorrow.
May the "beckoning hands" of little Christine guide you daily into this higher and nobler ife and after a while, when your work is well done, may her spirit welcome you into the portals of the Celestial City where an abundant entrance awaiteth the children of God.
