= For thou, with sails how swift, hast reached
the shore,
Where tempests never beat, nor pillows roar"
Died, near Moore6eld, Hardy county, West
Virginia, March lst, Mrs. SUSAN V. WHITING,
in the 47th year of her age.
She had been Christian twenty eight years
Frail, from childhood, she was a daughter Of
suffering. She had known a mothers grief in
the loss of four children; and in her death, the
trial of parting with a helpless infant. Truly
was she called to glorify God in the fires. The
flames did not kindle upon her. Her chaSten-
ings though grievous, we may trust were for her
profit that she might be partaker of His holiness
Her citizenship was in heaven. There her heart
and her treasures were lodged. Thence her
hopes and comforts were derived Eternity,
therefore, had no terrors for her. In her dying
hours. she said. 4" / have chosen that hymn com
mencing Lord l am thine, entirely thine. -
What a striking expression Of her constant hu-
mainly, her faith in Christ and conservation to
God. Of such we may write Blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord.
Departed this life on the Dist of January,
1868, near Martinsburg, West Va, EDWARD F.
TABB, in the Goth year of his age.
He had for several months been laboring I'M
der a severe and troublesome disease, but not
So as TO threaten any Immediate danger until y
few days before his death For about week
preceding his deeeaSe, he was unable to converse
on any subject, consequently his friends had not
the Measure of knowing what were his feelings
as he approached death. They are not left,
however "tO mourn as those who have no
hope" Very early in lite he protested faith in
Christ, as his Saviour, united with the PreSby-
terrain church and continued TO be a consistent
member 70 the last.
While Mr.. Tabb entertained feeling of char
ity towards members Of other Christian church
eS, he had decided preference for that church
In which he had been trained and of which he
became a member He loved her doctrinal
views of the teaching Of the Scriptures and her
form of Church Government. He took great
pleasure in reading and conversation in relation
10 the books produced by her Theologians, and
his hopes as a Christian rested firmly upon a
Calvinistic view Of Christ and his redemption.
The death of this servant of God will, as far
as we can see, be loss not only to his family
but also 20 the church of which he was a mem
Der. But as a Christian husband and father
will his loss be felt by his family. AS one who
was industrious and energetic without any undue
spirit of worldliness, far as the writer was ever
able to discover; he took great delight in having
every thing around him comfortable, convenient
and pleasant for the members of his household.
His visitors also viii not soon forget how kindly
and Hospitality they have been entertained at his
pleasant home in this world.
We would all desire however TO bow with sub
mission 10 the will of the Great Head of the
Church, who has seen fit to remove this his ser
want from the Church militant to the Church
triumphant where there remsineth rest to
the people of God"
