How brief the notice. yet how much does Ii
contain of sorrow and OF joy Sorrow to those
who are bereft-husband, children and friends,
but joy inexpressible to the ransomed spirit,
who is thus made free from sorrow and care
torevermore. For several years her health has
been declining, and for the last eight months
she has been almost q constant sufferer, If not
from actual pain IRON that WEAKNESS and weak
ness which is sometimes harder to bear than
pain. But 1t was bravely borne, and so cheer
iully that none but those who knew her best
knew what she suffered. In her life she hon
ored her Saviour by a consistent, christian
character; in her death she gave abundant
testimony OF the faithiulness of a faithful God,
who sustained and cheered her in 4 dying hour,
and enabled her to testify to those around that
1t was the happiest hour of her life. May Cod
grant that the words spoken and heard around
that dying bed may rebound to His glory; may
be the means of comforting His people, and
bringing souls to Christ.
Weep not that her tolls are over.
Weep not that her race is run,
God grant we may rest as calmly,
nen our work, as hers, Is done
Till then we will yield with gladncss,
Our treasure to Him to keep.
And rejoice in the sweet assurance,
'He Siveth His loved one sleep" S.
