IN MEMORIAM.
Mrs. HENRIETTA D. SITL1NGToN.

MIs. IlENh IEIIA " DlILlNGION.
The subject of this memorial died at her hus-
bands home, Mcdowell, Va near the end of
Sabbath, February 10th, in about the list year
of her age. She was the wife of Mr. Robert
Sitlington, worthy Elder OF this church, whom
she leaves, in his old age, to lament her depar
ture. Previous to her marriage she was Miss
Henrietta d. Ewing, member of a large fami-
ly of that name in Rockingham county, Va, of
which FIVE daughters are still alive and two
sons, one of whom is Dr. D. B. Ewing, of Win
chester Ky.
Mrs. Sitlington had long been in feeble health
During the fifteen months preceding her death
she was quite i'll several times, and her death
was expected long before it did take place
Though exceedingly frail looking, she had a
wonderful store of vitality which enabled her
to stand. for so long time, the ravages of dis
ease, and also spared her for a much longer time
10 her loved ones on earth than they had any
reasonable ground to hope she would be. But
though full of bodily disease and pain, yet she
was favored with much inward health and hap
piness. She was a true child of God, whose
grace filed her heart and enabled her to bear
with patience all that He laid upon her. AS
Paul said of Timothy, so it can be said of her
From child thou hast known the Holy Scrip
lures. They made her "wise unto salvation
through faith which is in Christ Jesus" When
only fourteen years old she gave her heart to
her Saviour and from that time up to her cath
el0 as COuSlSISnI plOuS OI
church. She can well be numbered in that
class unto whom Christ said "Ye are the salt
Of the earth, ye are the light of the world"
Her heart was full of love to her Saviour, so
she loved all that He loves-the Church and
those out OF it. She was an earnest worker in
the church, aiming to edify believers and win
souls to the Saviour. Prayer was the breath of
her life; she prayed much and for many In
her private devotions she had long | st of per-
sons, converted and unconverted, among her
relatives and friends for whom she prayed al
ways She lived, not for herself, but for Christ
Having lived such life, she died the death
of the righteous. Though the outward man
persisted, yet the inward man was renewed day
by day. until at last, she entered into that rest
that remaineth TO the people of God" But she
still lives amongst us, in the influences of her
example, and may yet accomplish much good for
the Master. She was much loved by all here,
so large number of her friends assembled on
the day of her burial, to pay their respects to
her memory, when her mortal remains were laid
IN the grave TO await the morning of the resur-
rection; ]. Mel s.

OBIT u A r Y
IN MEMORIAM.

Died, October 9th, 1888, at HARDWOOD the
residence of her husband, William Irvine, In
Stafford county, Va, Mrs. SISAH D. IRVINE.
Although months have passed since this sor-
rowful event, still Its oppression broods over
the bereaved household where none can ever
come to fill the vacant place. AT the ripe age
of eighty, "as shock of corn in his season"
she has been gathered to the rest that remaineth
for the people of God. Another wayworn pill
grim has crossed over to the great company OF
the redeemed, and exchanged the pilgrims garb
for the white robe. For many years Mrs. IT.
vine had not only been protesting Christian,
but what is of infinitely more worth, had been
living Christian. Endowed by nature with
gentle and amiable disposition, she had been so
moulded by grace that through an acquaint-
ance of ten years the writer has never known
hasty or censorlous word to fall from her lips,
whose law was the law of kindness" The
feeble health which had for many years been
her portion, was borne with singular meekness
and accomplishing patience. Her chastened
spirit leaned to rest In complete acqulescence
upon the will of Him whom she loved and
trusted so that her last days, which were full
of great physical suffering, were also days of
childlke trust and patient waiting until she
should receive her summons to come up high
err" But place is made vacant heye-a place
in the house of God which she loved-a place
IN the home where her gentle presence was a
benedlction-a place In desolate hearts which
sorrow for love that ever anxious yearn-
ing and watchful-a place in the affections of
the needy and distressed who ever found in her
a sympathizing friend. How unspeakable the
comfort in the assurance that she has only gone
before and joined many of her own beloved,
where she awaits the complete family reunion
in the house of many mansions
Servant of Christ well done
Praise be thy new employ.
And while eternal ages run
Rest in thy Savieur's JOY" P.
