A Tribute.

The LauleS' Alu DOcicty oi enc church of Christ, at Russellville, Ark. feel tito be our painful duty, and a mournful pleasure to em- hody in a permanent form, an ex- nression of our great grief at the loss the world, the church, and our Aid Society have sustained in the sad and untimcly death of our dear sister in the tragic catastro- nhe that cast gloom over the en- tire community. Caused a total suspension of business in Russell vile for day, and gave occasion for the expression of the general grief by the largest concourse of heart. stricken mourners that ever followed mortal remains 70 their last resting place in Russellville.
 Were we asked for a precedent for leaving to the world and to the church the evidence of our sisters labors of love, we only find it in the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Acts 9:36 39) on the death of Tobitha-Dorcas- when the living widow showed the gar ments the dead woman had mad e for the poor while living. While we have not the garments to show, we bear testimony to the fact that she delighted to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and cheer and comfort the distressed. Like her Master whom she loveda and whom she delighted to initiate, she liter ally "Went about doing good" She was the leading spirit of our Society, foremost in everything that promised good for any. Apd if anything proposed for good which seemed of doubtful accom- plishment, her cheering words were "We will try" Were we re- quired to pen one brief line as a fitting epitaph for our sister"asleep in Jesus," which should express the feelings of the world, the church, our Society, indeed of ev- eryone it should be:
 We miss thee, sister, from our church,
 We miss the from thy place.
 A shadow o'er our Society," is cast,
 We miss thy smiling face.
 Wemiss thy kind and willing hand,
 Thy fond and earnest care;
 Your home is dark without thee, sister
 We miss you everywhere.
 On the fuperal occasion when we wished to express to those who would miss her most-her Sunday school class-their great loss, we draped in mourning her window in the church, under which she had taught them so many Sab bath mornings of the life, light, and truths of Jesus, and under which her class sat on the sad oc- casion, we placed the single word "gone." We expressed their loss but not our faith.
 Gone from her husbands hearth which she made so happy. Gone from the church of Christ of which she was an exemplary member, gone from our Society which she loved so well, and of which she was the strength. Gone from her Sunday school class that will miss and need her so much. But gone to join the redeemed of the Lord, gone 10 the Paradise of God, gone to bask in the smiles of her Savior, gone to hear the welcome plaudit from His own lips whom she served so faithfully.-"Well done good and faithful servant; en- ter thou into the .joys of thy Lordr
 Yes, faith beholds her where she sits
 A saint all clothed in white,
 Our loss is her eternal gain,
 She dwells in coudless light
