Entered Into Rest.

In Wellington, o., Oct. 6, 1882, Anna Hors
tense, daughter of Gideon and Bertha
Adams, deceased.
In world in which there is so much to
condone and regret, it is pleasant TO have
known some whose lives were so eXem-
plary and worthy of imitation, and who
gave so little occasion for sorrow and for
giveness that they were, even here, set
apart as Gin the world but not of it," and
in whose death there is no bitterness of re-
membrance.
That Of our deceased friend was ma
ture so reverent, conscientious, deSout the
transition into state of grace must have
been scarcely perceptible. 1t did not
seem possible for her TO be trivial
or insincere. In her high estimate of
the obligations imposed by Chris
tian profession, her fidelity TO her re-
ligious convictions, her faithfulness to
every form of duty, she emulated the prac-
tice and teachings Of her Christian home.
Unassuming in spirit and manner, ali her
activities were performed with genuine
and quiet humility. Considerate, unexact-
ing, devoted and helpful, she was held by
those who knew her intimately in rare and
loving regard.
| +" SO calui and meek,
So softly worn, sweetly weak,
SO fearless yet tcnder,'
She appealed TO all that. was most gentle,
and called out all that was purest and most
exalted in others. With her quick sympa-
thies, her quiet ways and her skillful hands,
she was minister of comfort TO those who
were sick or In trouble. She was eminently
devoted TO the work of establishing and
carrying forward the mission interests
among the Sunday school children and
in the older Missionary Society of her
church, and one of the hardest things she
found to give up. was the uncompleted
work of her Master in which she still
wanted TO share. In August of FAST year
on her way TO prayer meeting she was at
tackled with hemorrhags of tbs lungs, and
her life was despaired of. She partially
rallied, but the improvement was only the
alterations of hope and encouragement
attending pulmonary disease. a frail suf-
ferer from that time till her death, she was
the object of tender solicitude and untiring
devotion Patient and accomplishing,
bright, cheerful, hopeful, it was a means
| of grace to visit such sick room.
In her last days, her suffering from ex-
haustion and difficulty of breathing were
distressing, but not a murmur escaped her
lips. She commanded herself with such
sanity fortitude as touched all hearts.
Perfectly conscious to the last moment, she
expressed her entire willingness to depart,
and died as she had lived, exhibiting an
abiding faith in Him whom she had served.
In the beautiful funeral service at the
residence, Sabbath afternoon, her pastor,
the Rev. Mr.. DAILY, alluded with comfort
ing thought to the fact that though her life
seemed to be cut off at its noon, yet ii was
rounded and Complete, with faithful i'm
provement of its opportunities and indus
trious discharge of its duties.
"Death hath madelno breach
/ In love and sympathy, in hope and trust,
No outward sign or sound our ears can reach, =.
But there's an inward spiritual speech
That greets STILL though mortal tongues be dust
1t bids us do the work that they laid down
Take up the song where they broke of the strain,
So jouneying till we reach the heavenly town,
Where are laid up treasures and our crown,
And our lost loved ones viii be found again.
