IN MEMORIAM

Lt. Russell M. Childs, beloved son of Mrs. W. Childs and the late Mr. Childs, devoted brother of Mrs. Elbert Allender and Paul Childs, and uncle of Jimmy Allender and Teddy Childs.

"Leaves have their time to fall, and flowers to wither at the north wind's breath, and stars to set, but thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death."

Tragic indeed was his untimely passing which has cast a pall of gloom upon a wide circle.  Most deeply is heartfelt sympathy extended to all who sit in the shadow of sorrow.  May the Lord soothe and sustain as He alone can, when trials come and shadows fall, and the light of His countenance shine upon them, illuming their lonely hours.  "God calls our loved one, but we lose not wholly what He has given.  They live on earth in thought and deed, as truly as in heaven."

He was a noble Christian character held in affectionate regard and highest esteem, and like the afterglow of the sunset, the warmth and radiance of his pleasing personality shall long linger in many hearts.  "Loving and kind in all his ways, upright and just to the end of his days, sincere and true in heart and mind, a beautiful memory he has left behind."  He was an excellent soldier, serving with utmost loyalty, and gave his life fearlessly in defense of his country, that the priceless heritage of freedom might be kept.

"Until the day breaks, and the shadows flee away."  "So live that when they summons comes to join the innumerable throng which moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death that he may be sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust and approach the grave as one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams."
