BODIEs'sHIPPED (CONTINUE® FROM PAGE ONE) My Dear Madam, You will not think me intrusive in writing a few lines to you this morning. I want to send a word of comfort to you if possible. Have just returned from the wreck of the freight train, which took place a mile from this millage and was present when the bodies of the two young men Orlin and Floyd Martz were taken from the wreck. They were both together. "In their death they were not divided.” 2 Sam. 1-23.

I am assuming that they were your sons and having a grown up family myself know how to sympathize. Especially as we have quite recently lost our youngest daughter. 21 years old after years of Hl health arf suffering. What I especially want to say is that the Ix.ys did not suffer one moment of pain. The suddenness of the end was merciful in that respect. And we know that even not a sparrow falls to the ground without our heavenly Father’s knowledge and Jesus says: "Howmuch more value are we than sparrows.” Some day we will know and understand why your boys were taken in this manner. Till then, say: “Though Thou hast tailed me to re-sign What must I prize, it ne’er was mine, I only yield Thee what is Thine. THY WILL BE DONE." Your boys are in the hands of infinite love and they will be saved from many thing?, that in the years to come might have been worse than death“Let not your heart be troubled. In the Father’s house are many mansions’ —and the love that gave Jesus to die will be over your boys in the future even as it has been in the past. The wreck will not be cleaned away for many hours and one or two young men who were in another part of the train say there are two others yet beneath the broken cars. May the blessed Savior comfort you under this great bereavement and sorrow and with sincere prayers for you. I remain Yours faithfully, THOMAS BILLING. O TO SPEAK AT SALEM. The Rev. J. M.
