Church in this city, and has adorned the doc
trine of God, her Savior in her daily walk and
conversation. She was an earnest and devout
Christian, and loved the sanctuary and its servi-
ces Though then so youthful in 1866, she, with
a like youthful associate and companion, ,inau-
gurated the first attempt to repair the then diap-
dated house ofworship, of the First Church, and
realized handsome sum of money for that pur-
pose. Her attendance upon the ordnan ces of
the church was marked for its eonstancy, and
her participation in the worship was hearty and
Gevout. Her absence from the house of God
on week days or on Sabbaths argued a good

and she was enabled to submit her will entirely
to Gods She rejoiced in the salvation of Christ,
trusted in Him as her only hope and prayed
for grace and strength to cast all her care upon

that the Lord would teach him that true and
real happiness is to be found in God, and for
other friends, by name.
Among other petitions she presented this

Stand by me now, in this dreadful hour, when
no earthly friend can go with me through the
dark valley. o, l trust in Thee }! Let thy rod
and thy staff comfort me-" And so for two
hours, praying and adoring awake to full
consciousness Of the great work of dying; grow
ing weaker and weaker until her voice sank
in whispers, and then her feeble hands, still
clasped in prayer, would rise and fall till life
and motion ceased. F UE ~ EE-R
