and full Of glory. She was very faithful in try-
ing topersuade others to seek the blessed Savior
who was so precious to her; she often expressed
regret that she had not devoted her life to His
service, and felt that sick bed was a poor place
to prepare for death; she was very happy and
would say to those who looked on her with pity
inge eyes, 80, you don't know how happy l am %
On her return home she expressed great anx-
iety to see her young associates and converse
with thsm on the subject of religion, and try to
win them to Christ.
But her work Was soon done; a few short
days, only, was she permitted to remain with us.
The day previous to her death she talked calmly
about dying, gave directions about her burial
and funeral services; not, she said that che cared
particularly, but felt would be pleasant to talk
aboutit.
AS the time drew near for her departure, she
/ said she was dying, and seemed to have the
most vivid consciousness of what she was pass
ing through; and as the agonief Of death came
upon her she said, 81 did not know what it was
to DIE! what should do without Jesus now -
We spoke of Jesus dying for her" yes" said
she, and sang, "Jesus died and paid it all, yes,
all the debt owe y; and as she rapidly grew
cold and the death damp gathered on her brow,
she said. :" am stepping down into the waters
they are cold" those who stood near could
almost see the icy waves as they swept over her
feet, SO real did it seem to them as they looked
upon the dear one who slhyerSA as she entered
the dark waters We told her Jesus would 20
with her" yes" said she, and shall soon
be on the other Shore
Then she sang:
"Jesus, lover Of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom, fly,
While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high
Hide me, o my Savior, hide,
Till the storm Of lifcis past;
Safe into the haven guide,
o, receive my sonl at last.
"oiher retusa have none
Hangs my helpless soul on thee:
Leave, o leave me not alone;
Still support and comfort me:
All my trust on thee is stayed;
All my help from thee bring;
Cover my defenccless head
With the shadow of thy wing"
AS she sang, halo of glory oversprcad her
countenance; we almost believed that we could
hear angelic voices join with hcrs;--with enrap-
tured gaze and out-stretched arms she exclaimed
--"CsrrcT come! 0 mother don't you see herr"
then said, "don't hold me back! Carrie is such
beautiful angel want to go with her Now"
She said she did not wish to stay with US
longer now that she had seen her darling sister
Carrie; she then kissed us all good-by, and
wanted we should sing, and as we tried to sing
"We're going home" and "Thcre'll be no nore
sorrow there she Joined us heartily, then sang
the chorus, a." Hallelujsh, amenp' then as her
eyes still seemed looking among the angelic
throng come to bear away, she exclaimed, 80
there's aunt Louisa--such beautiful angel p
(this WAS her dear aunt who died few years
ago. In little time she ceased to breathe
scious 10 the latt. Thus in the providence Of
God were her parents permitted to 60 with her to
the margin Of the river to strengthen and en-
courgc her until she felt herself safe in the arms
of loved ones on the other shore.
At her request, Bro. J. Lawrence attended the
funeral services, assisted by Bro. Boutwell,, -
addressed q sermon to the young from these
words: " Remember now thy Creator" etc.
text used ON the occasion of Carries funeral.
The choir sang beautifully "She's gone to the
Silent Land"
Thus early in life, when we felt she was dear
to us, has she been taken from us; her place is
vacant-her voice that so often cheered us with
song, is silent in death. But We are not left
confortless; 0 no! Jesus himself is our comfort
ter and with his own soft hand he wipes away
cur tears. We feel that he says to us; "My
peace | give unto you, not rs the world give"
give unto YOU" In meek submission can we
say: "He gave, lie took, He will restore; He
docth all things we'll" Though we miss her
bodily presence, yet we know she is the same in
thought and affection; and we can but feel that
she is permitted to lingcr around to cheer and
comfort u.s.
And We re happy day by day we feel her
presence.
"God calls our loved ones, but we lose not wholly
What He hath given;
They live on earth, in thought and deed as truly
As in His heaven"
"Fold her, oh Father! in thine arms,
And let her henceforth be
A messenger Of love between
Our human hearts and Thee"
