Death Of Miss Edith Adler.

Miss Edith Adler, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Michael Adler, died on the 18th
inst. In Toronto, Canada. She was I6
years of age, and since July 2lst had
been visiting her uncle, Mr.. Eli Adler,
She was taken suddenly sick with some
thing like neuralgia on last Friday
morning, but medical aid being pro-
cured she soon felt much better, and in
conversation with her uncle in the even
ing remarked, in happy manner, that
she was not sick. She was seen several
times during the night by Mrs. Mack,
the lady friend at whose house she was
stopping. She seemed to be resting well
until about o'clock Saturday morning,
when she became unconscious, breathed
heavily and in few minutes expired.
Her death Is supposed to have resulted
from paralysis of the heart.
Her uncle and her friend, Mrs. Mack,
were to the last untiring in their deVO-
tiOn. All that human aid could do they
endeavOred to have done, but death had
marked her for his own; and in the very
morning of her wOmanhOod she was
called away from a life that seemed
bright and beautiful to her. The cir
cumstances surrounding her death make
it dOubly sad. In every sense of the
word a ''hOme GIRL" devoted daughter
and an affectiOnate sister, it seemed
hard that she must die so far away from
the father and mother, the brother and
sister, who were to her nearer and dear
er than all the world beside. But others
dear unto her were round her to the
last and, sleeping gently away as she
did, she missed not the faces for which
she would otherwise have yearned.
Her remains arrived in the city on
Monday evening and were lovingly, sOr-
g. H. yoA - hnv-
of her kindred and friends.
The many and beautiful floral decOra.
tiOns sent in spoke silently yet power
fully to the bereayed family of the love
that was felt for their dear one.
Beautiful bOquets were sent from
friends in Canada and in the heart OF
each bOquet was found tiny card on
which were words Of comfort and Of
sympathy.
The funeral services took place Oh
Tuesday. They were held in the Baptist
Church, were conducted by ReVeTends
LOunsbuTy, HeTbruck and Osborne, anC
were largely attended. Her fayOritt
song, "Will you Meet Me at the FOun
tain was sung by her Sabbath SchOo
class and, by them, a beautiful flora
sickle was also laid upon her coffin.
Miss Edith had many friends who viii
mourn her untimely death. Gentle anC
amiable in disposition, with a thought
fulness and capability beyond her years
Her loss will be deeply felt, not only il
| her home, but in the social circle
Faithful in all she endeavOTed to do
the record she has left with teacher
with parent, with friend, is one with
scarcely blot.
In slumbers deep sweet be thy rest,
Though great our loss, God knOweth best
Hadst thou been spared do not know
What, here on earth, Of veal or woe
It might have been thy lot to bear.
Age would have brought its lines OF care,
Its burdens on thy shoulders laid
Its burrows In thy fair face made;
Thy locks so brown bad silvered been,
Thy heart, so pure, known more OF sin,
Thy hands Oft times had weary grown,
Tired feet been bruised by many q stone.
But gone early to thy rest
But fiOwer-strewn paths thy feet have pressed.
Hands, heart or brain can never see
Lies tolls, lifes pains, lfe's misery.
Away from all these scenes OF time
In that far. distant, happy cline,
Where thou hast gone, tits bright and fair;
Nor sin, nor grief can enter there.
So sweetly rest, will not weep,
"aOd giVeth His beloved sleep"
