'sI Am the Resurrection and
the Life"

| the Ll1e.
Departed this life on the morning OF
October the Goth, ELLA, daughter OF
Junius and Margaret Shaw; aged 1G
years and 2 months.
Little ELLA, as she was familiarity CALL
ed, was always delicate, perhaps never
quite we'll, her weight not exceeding
| fifty pounds at any time in her life; and
yet she was so bright and cheerful, so
uncomplaining one could hardly think
of her as All invalid.
But so unselfish was she in DISPOSE
ton, so winsome and Christ-like in her
WAYS, so different from other children
and withal so frail, we did not expect
that she would be left long with US, and
yet her going came suddenly.
For some weeks she had not seemed
so we'll, and had said to her mother
while doing some sewing for herself,
| that she would not live to wear out the
clothes they were making-expressed
herself as willing to die-said her life
had been full of Suffering, and that she
would be better off when gone. And
although the mother doubtless felt that
angels were fist wooving her child
Heavenward, yet she had no thought
|
near at hand. On Wednesday she took
her meals with the family as usual,
rested but little during the night, but
on Thursday morning walked unas-
sisted from her bed to the fire, and
while sitting in the chair, her head
resting on her hand, the summons came,
and ELLA closed her eyes to earth. A
great vacancy is now seen, and felt in

of that home has been removed. But
the parents should find comfort in the
thought that one of their little flock is
FOREVER SAFE. Jesus has taken little
ELLA to himself.
Rev. Warren, of the Baptist Church,
preached the funeral sermon from Cor
inthians, 10 and 30.
At no time is the resurrection theme
so near our hearts, as when the grave
is about to close over our loved ones.
At the close of the service, some
friends joined in singing "Let me go
where the saints are going" producing
deep effect upon the congregation.
The influence of those words, so full of
inspiration, remains with me yet; and
lnsteal of closing this little sketch with
sad reflections, | would fain forget our
loss, and remembering little ELIAS
gain, break forth in singing:
All hail the power of Jesus name,
Letangels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.
o, that with yonder sacred thrOng,
We at His feet may fall;
Wen join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all.
JOYCE.
