For some weeks the FAneel Of
Death has been lowering over
our once hap V town filing many
hearts with SORROW, and has late
IL piuehel away n of onr
brightest and ra;eSt flowers. 1t
h,s pleased Almighty God and
Heavenly Father in His Infinite
wisdom and Ii, ine love to take
unto Himself a devoted husband,
:. foua father, our beloved friend
Charles Sahourin. One house
hold has been rendered di>conSo-
late through the mysterious dea !
iings of an All wise providence.
He has been called to his rest in
the prime of life. and his death
has caused u deep void i'll our
community. Sorrnwing friends
tend their sympathy to his family
tor their great loss aud are con
sciou~ that God in thus rending
al earthly tie hath pressed them
closer to Him ; and that it is
their duty 20 bow to his most no
~ will. By this death I'LL com>
munity has lost IA noble, active,
and fiitllfal member, n who
has ever been deiigent in the dis
charse-of his'doty, and energetic
in promoting the success and i'll
tcrestS Of his feilow-man. He was
ever Jealous to assist in allevia-
:, ting tie distress and suffering of
man. and since the deStroyr,
made his appearance in our midst
WAS by the bedside of the afflict-
ed. and was stricken .down'at his
post, and has fallen a veritahle
hero. What Il noble death his has
+ been ! How Well he understood
and ever lived according to the
great commandments. Thou shalt
love thy Neighbour as thvself.
:, Kind friends united in giving him
their blessings and prayers and
, when in his illness he WAS laid
low upon the bed Of suttering,-
the tender cares of a loving wife
: soothed his aching heart and fill
ed his sonl with high hopes and
thoughts OF heaven that blessed
, home VI ere the weary have eteI
nal rest. Yet he fell asleep and
e enjoys "a peace which this world
can neither Civ" nor take away.
Although i! has pleased oul
Heavenly Father that all GU.
!. eifortsand cares should be vair
yet we'mu>t bear in mind that
when his eyes were closed il
death and his ffenerOus and no
|. ole heart ceased to beat. Angels
waited his immortal sonl t,
