LEA. - April 5, 1874, LAWRENCE, son of R. and Victoria Lea, aged 5 years, 1 month and 3 days. Lawrence was a bright and promising boy. Although afflicted with partial paralysis of the lower limbs during nearly the whole of his short life, he was a healthy and robust child, intelligent above his years, and giving fair promise of a long life. His afflictions had bound him with very tender ties of love to the hearts of his parents, and his loss is felt with a heavy sorrow which none can realize or understand but those who have had a like sad experience. Wretched indeed would the bereaved parents be were they left to mourn as those without hope; dreary indeed the desolate home but for the sweet assurances of our divine Redeemer and Elder Brother: "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven." Let the sorrowing mother's heart take courage in the hope; let the bereaved father be comforted in the assurance that their son now rests in the arms of Him who gave to a lost world that ever living praise.
