Died, near Ebenezer, in Effingham County, Ga. June 26th 1887, Julian A., son of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Helmley, aged 10 years, 2 months and 21 days.
Julian was dedicated to God i Holy baptism, and was being trained up in the Sunday-school and in the church. He was the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Helmley, and consequently the pet of father and mother and older brothers and an only sister. He was cheerful and the life of the house. But God in his providence has seen fit to remove little Julian from his father's house on earth to his eternal home in heaven.
Sorrow not, dear parents, for one whom you know to be safe in the arms of Jesus. He has taken little Julian to heaven. Recognize the hand of your Savior in your bereavement and console yourselves with the thought that he doeth all things well.
