NEWSPAPER CLIPPING

On the inside back cover of this bible are pasted two newspaper clippings.  These are not dated nor is the name of the newspaper from which either of these was taken apparent.

"James D Woods was born October 8, 1886, fell asleep October 22, 1904. 
He gave his heart to Christ five years ago.  He was an obedient son, a loving
brother, an earnest Christian. As a member of my Sunday School class in
Parkland Church, he was an inspiration to me, a benediction to the class. 
We miss his bright face and earnest prayers, but remember the trusting faith
 which enabled him to say, 'Whatever comes to me, I am ready.'  May God
comfort and sustain his loved ones, enabling them through grace to meet
him in the better land."  Mrs. J W Slaughter
