in the S5th year of her age, leaving disconso
late husband and eight children, besides large
circle Of relations aud friends. to mourn their
loss. How mysterious are the ways OF Divine
Providence! Here we record the removal of
one from among Us, who had SO endeared herself
10 her family and friends, as to seem almost ne
cessary to their very existence AS wife,
mother, a sister, a member of the Church, and
sympathzing friend, she was distinguished and
behaved for her affection, tenderness, humility,
gOdliness, and fidelity.
This tribute to her memory may seem to
some the language Of exaggeratlon: but those
who knew her well, feel that it is the language OF
truth And the praise is due to the Sovereign
Grace Of her God and Saviour: for it was His
mercy alone that made her what she was She
had been for several years believer IN Jesus:
her hope was in his Righteousness, and her de
light to walk in his footsteps. And she has add
ed her testimony to his faithfulness to his pro-
misses: for in the day OF her trouble he was with
her. "Do you enjoy" said the writer OF this
