We fully endorse the above, Thomas being an only son of a beloved sister of the Editor of the News, who has sacrificed is life int he service of his country.  We feel to mourn with our sister in this sudden bereavement.  Let us cling, dear sister, to Him who is able to bear our burden, remembering that we all are fast "passing away," and it will be but a short time ere we shall arrive "at Home," where "The weary soul shall find rest."

"We'll stand the storm, it won't be long; / The heavenly port is nigh, / We'll stand the storm, it won't be long; / We'll anchor by and by."
