LOST TO EARTH.

Sad Death of a Noble Woman-Gone
from Scenes of this Life.
Mrs. Annie Hollingsworth Blanks,
wife of James G. Blanks, departed
this life in the town of Lockhart,
Texas, on the morning of the 4th day
of July, A. d. 1884, in the 22nd year of
her age, after an illness of a little over
week. Thus in the morning of life,
while her cheeks "a &C radiant with
the dew of youth, and all her sur
roundings Indicated long life of un-
alleged happiness, she was taken from
this to better world.
Only few short months prior to
her demise; in perfect health, she, With
one of our purest and noblest young
men, stood in Gods holy temple, and
there Gods minister consummated in
marriage, the vows of faith and love
which they had plighted to each other
in the Leyday of joyous and happy
childhood. Each of them, almost
from their infancy, had known the
holy scriptures and had become wise
unto salvation.
In the 18th year of her age, erheart's
deepest and hottest affections were en-
listed for the savior of mankind: she
became q member of the church of
Christ, and thenceforth her life was a
beautiful exemplification of the Christ
ian religion. She, indeed, occupied a
lofty plane. No cloud marred the
beauty of her landscape.
Upon a point of me she stood,
With fair survey Of lana and flood,
Where every prospect smiled around.
III c outS were IN the distance piled
From each white mass an angel smiled.p
But in the mysterious dispensation
of providence, the angel of death came
to her not as the king OF terrors, but as
warder to remove the barriers. and
to open the gates and disclose a bliss
full Immortality to her. Death came
as an angel of loving mien, whispering
to her of eternal blessedness and full
ness of joy, and pleasures of endless
duration in the presence of God. Our
young sister had lived a noble and
a beautiful life, and as a result. she
died in the trlumphs of the Christian
faith.

almost from infancy, and can truly
