always strictly conscientious, and one who
knew her best says she never knew her to de-

about one year ago made profession of her
faith and connected herself with the Second
Presbyterian church of this city. She was a
consistent member and delighted to worship in
the church of her choice. Though her Christian

death than many Christians who 90 to the grave

she gave of the fulness of Christ to contend with
the monster, death, to triumph over the love of
life, and to make her willing to leave those sbe

on all who witnessed her death When told bv
her loving mother that she must die. she turned
to her and asked calmly, Is that so mother ?"
She then called her physician and asked Do
you say must die this very night?" Being
told there was no hope, she said in answer to
the question, You are not afraid to die. Sallie
are you" Il have been afraid to die bnt I

most earnest appeal to the dear relatives around
her and begged them to promise to be Christians

said, I" am not afraid to die" She repeated
the first line of the hymn commencing

and she took up the second and repeated the
whole verse with great earnestness.
After taking affectionate leave of her parents
she raised her hands ard eyes and said, dSaved
