ON THE PASSING OF MRS. SUSI MARTING FRIEDMANN

(Editor's Note: The following is written in remembrance of Mrs. Susi Friedmann, a refugee, who died recently at Goshen, Ind.)

Solemnly, quietly, sadly we gather in the church to pay our last respects to Mrs. Susi Marting Friedmann, whom we loved. She had endeared herself to so many. The church is now nearly filled. The family procession composed of four arrives — the husband, the two sons, and the sister-in-law. Our hearts are deeply touched.

Our minds and hearts are lifted with the lovely thoughts of "Abide With Me." "Somewhere the Sun is Shining," and "In the Sweet By and By," for we think of our loved one free from pain enjoying the blessful [sic] moments of Heaven. We are happy for her. But looking at the family, so few in number, and now without a mother, we also feel deep sorrow. There is John, who had cared so tenderly for his mother until he was called away to camp, and there is Mark who had shared so many of the joys of music with his mother. These boys, will they remember their mother and live true to the Christian ideals which their mother taught them. May God care for them and lead them aright.
