The bereaved parents have very much to COM
fort them in their sorrow. The patient thought.
fulness of the child in her hours of suffering won
all hearts. Her earnest desire, even in sickness,
not to manifest any wrong feeling in word or act;
her tender consideration for the sorrow of her
parents; and especially her lively interest in the
Sabbath school of which she had become mem
Der, must now temper parental grief with pre-
ciOus memories. They surely may have the con
selling thought that the Fear of the Lord''-the
sentiment of the verse she learned on the Sabbath
beforehand which was so often on her lips dur
ing her illness, was divinely wrought in her
heart, making her truly a child of God: and when
she fell asleep in the morning of the following
Sabbath it was only to rest in the arms of Him
whose special blessing has ever been upon them.
