m ♦the tender loving Saviour,ObituaryVerl Nathaniel, son oi‘ Alfred and Malinda Rusco, was born in Taylor county, Iowa, September 23, 1909, and went to be with Jesus March 23, 3917, aged 7 years, 0 months and 20 days.During a severe illness of his mother a few days before he was fatally burned he learned that God was an ever present help in time of need and commenced calling on God from the_ very first of his .suffering. The family and neighbors who so kindly helped to nurse him will never forget his sweet childish voice in prayer. Many times when he was suffering most and could get no rest he would call for prayer or hymns to be sung or the bible to be read and then sweet rest would come to his tired little body.Besides his father and mother,a grandmother, nine sisters and one brother and many other relatives are left to mourn their loss which is his gain. All his sisters were present except Mrs. Rose White of Emerson.The funeral services wore conducted from the Holiness church at Athelstan March 24th. by W. M. Hunt. Text 2 Samuel 12:23. Interment was made in the Alhel-stan cemetery.MY DAHLlNO’s MlOK.sGod bless the little feel that never go astray.Tor the little shoes are empty in my closet laid away;Sometimes I take one in my hands, forgetting till I see,Jt is a little hali-worn shoe, not large enough for me:And all at once J feel a sense of bitter loss and pain.As sharp as when a few days ago it cut my heart in twain.O, little feet, that wearied not,I wail for them no more,For 1 am drifting on the tide,but they have reached the shore: And while the blinding tear drops wet these little shoes so old,1 try to think my darling’s feet are treading streets of gold:And so J lay them down again, but always turn to say —God bless the little feet that now surely cannot stray.
