BELLAIR CORRESPONDENCE
Farm and Religious News - Funeral of Mr. Henry Arnold
Farmers are getting busy with planting peas, turnips and such like and getting ready for potatoes and oats.
Some of the ponds in our section that have been dry longer than we ever knew before, are holding water again, and branches and ditches are in good use now.
Rev. J. Sanford, our pastor, was with us the third Sunday. Quite a large audience, for our place, was present, as it was his first meeting with us. Some went perhaps with curiosity to see and hear the new preacher, some hungering for gospel food and those who went hungering for the word, were well fed. One man present who thinks a 30 minute sermon long, but said he could have listened to Bro. Sanford an hour.
We had another service at Beech Grove yesterday afternoon. This time it was the sad occassion of a funeral.
Henry Arnold, eldest son of Freeman Arnold, died at his fathers home near Spring Garden Sunday morning, the 26th, and was buried in Beech Grove cemetery Monday. Bro. Sanford was again with us, and discoursed from Job 14 and 15, “Thou shalt call and I will answer thee.”
It was an impressive sermon, and made some of us feel the truth of what the wise man said, “It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to the house of rejoicing.”
As we look over the little, comparatively new, cemetery at Beech Grove we are struck with the rapid growth of that village of the dead.
The first lonely settler placed there about the year 1881, and now the quiet remains in our sacred sequestered burying ground number twenty two, representing ten families. For a thinly settled community like ours, this is a very rapid death rate but as the earthly ties one by one are severed we feel another tie binding us to the great beyond, and sometimes these broken earthly ties are necessary to remind the wayfarer that he has an interest higher than earth and longer than time.
