Oh how the regretful aud almost
Febeilloua feelings surge az nom The
hearts OF those Who have been DeTeAV'
ed, whose hopes have dashed % pieces
la few brlei LOlrs. How the mind
will although IL has borne Itself aloil
10 the paradise Of the dead, and there
has beheld the dear ones gone before
treading the paths ot perfect peace
like tired bird who has SCARED too
high, come back on wearied wings To
realize that the hearlhsIo1e Is cold The
10y OF the house aud the husbands
heart Ii gone because the helpmate has
been taken away, al such au hour II Is
hard 10 glye-it is harder 10 receive
comfort because God has implanted
natural affection Ia the human breast,
and vain Is the attempt TO stop the
tears which will stream from the eyes
that weep, or the throbs which will
shake the heart that mourns, The
Saviour wept DER Lazarus grave, and
II Is not wrong 10 sorrow for the dead
II sorrow be mingled with the chris
tial's hope, Such hope OF u bright
resurrection may well be ours, as
we think Of this lovely chris.
tiAn woman whom God has taken,
Such life az hers may well stop the
river OF tears at last, because II was Il
life with almost every element Of the
heavenly life in IL, Il life which has re-
ceiyed It's crown because Of It's putty
aud singleness OF purpose. This Is the
comfort which all weary hearts can
grasp, that though severed for IA little
while the time will come when those
who hRved on earth shall be united IN
the eternal bond OF love in heaven, Il
they so live here as deserving heaven
hereafter. The other comfort Is tina,
the good example OF those who are de-
parted this life IN the faith OF Christ, is
d powerful incentive "a the living L
follow after that which is good,
Mrs. Green's life was beautiful be
cause her character WAS so pure, 80
| gentle, so modest. Her suul has reached
after and grasped the cross OF Christ
I and by il both held aud was holden
. anu nun LuAk IibHo llAh bNtAA LNN
I the lessons OF patience, charity, quiet
ness, humility. IL was life which
| will be Temem beTed Tonga life whose
sweetness is now doubly felt, Fol
those who have "fallen asleep are
not gone forever; they are still ours
We lose them to get them back agar
in "a deeper way, because their holy
lessons, their pure affections, are ouri
! forever, for their virtues are sacred
now and live In us-they being dead
yet speak. They reach out from that
paradise where they await the resur
rection day, and taking US with one
| hand, stretch out the other toward til,
| light that shines from the throne O
God and so, II we will, we are led on
ward and upward-passi0ns are sub
dued, sinful thoughts rerressed, every
action purified, and the peace which
| the world cannot give is ours.
Mrs. Green will be missed in he
home, in the church, and by the man,
who loved her, but the JOY IL hers o
seeing not far OF the streets of tina
! city v hich hath no need OF the sun
where there is no hunger, no thirst
and where "God shall wipe away al
tearsn from the eyes OF those whit
have loved him here on earth, an,
have desired TO see his face in heaven
