The Congregational Church and the communi-

and their very unexpected and severe sickness and
premature death, have fallen upon us as a loud &
solemn admonition of the vanity of man and of all
earthly attainments.
I Their friends however, have the consolation OF
believing that their immortal spirits have expert
enced most glorious change. For many years
they have lived in the avowal of their faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ and their hope of eternal life
and in the peculiarly trying circumstances of their
Sickness they manifested entire resignation to the
will of God and unwavering trust in the promises
of his word
eff we believe that Jesus died and rose again, C.
ven so them also which sleep in Jesus, will God
bring with him"
