Sister $. Delphins Powers, of Hanover,
Me, died, in Stoneham, Mass, OF con-
sumption, Feb. Is, IS, aged IL years and %
days. She was the daughter of 0rson and
Sally Powers, OF Hanover. She was con-
yerted in the sixteenth year of her age, un-
der the laborS of Rev. Alpha Turner, joined
class Jan. 5, IS. and joined the church in
full connection Sept. -, OF the same year.
She at once became 4 worker In the Mas
ter's vineyard. To go forward. was her
motto. Some fifteen years ago she entered
into the blessed rest OF full salvation, and
has been very marked Christian, truly,
eight OF the world" d" the salt OF the
earth" Her testimony was always blessed.
She could testify that the blood OF Jesus
cleanSeth from all sin, and her soul tri-
umphed in the complete redemption in TIA e
blood OF Christ She was worker, in
deed in the vineyard OF God ever active
10 lead her friends and others TO Jesus and
to encourage her brethren and sisters in
Christ 20 enter into all that richness Of ex-
perience OF full redemption in the blood OF
Jesus. Her works do follow her She
will long live in the affections aud memory
OF dear relatives and friends left behind TO
mourn their loss, which is her eternal gain
She leaves parents, brothers and sisters 10
follow her footsteps a. she followed Christ
She said TO her dear brother, who went 70
her bedside IS soon as he knew how low
she was Alpha, almost home am all
ready. Her soul triumphcd in death, IS l.
hal trinmphed In life. She had iondly hoped
70 come home to see, aud die with loved
ones. But. life ebbins out 50 fast, she
was not able. But said she. 1t is all
right" She was all ready 10 depart and
De with Christ, which is Tar better. The
VI Z. Church has lost very worthy, and
lively member. and we deeply feel our loss
But the memory Of her will be a rich fra
GRANGE poured forth, which will not soon
lose its SAVIOR. Her remains were brought
70 the parent home in Hanover, and buried
from thence the 2lst. May the dear ones
she has len live as she has, for Christ.
Then 70 die will be gain. May our last
days be Ike hers like hers, our last re-
ward" 4. II. ".

IL LUMBER CAN'T ~ WINTER

The men who cut and haul lumber are
fearfully exposed in severe weather, and
although hardy and rugged, are sometimes
laid aside from duty. Mr. Randall, Of Au-
gusta, Maine, who Is extensively engaged
in the numbering business, writes that one
of his men was attacked with terrible
sore throat, so that they thought he would
die. They administered Perry Daris's
Pain Killer, both internally and external
IL. In an hour the sufferer was relieved,
and the next day he was at work as usual.
