Obituary,

Died, in Clifton, May 9TH, 1885. after a
protracted illness, Mrs Della Martin,
aged 81 years.
Mrs. Martin was 4 member of the Bap-
fist church. During her long sickness
her sufferings were severe and often ex-
treme, but her faith in Christ was clear
and her hope in Him assured. A large
cOncourse of neighbors and friends attend
ed her funeral and sorrowfully laid her
in the grave If she could speak to her
dear sisters now no doubt she would say:
"YOur love was very dear and rare,
But Christ : is deaTer still
He saw what sorrows l might bear,
And snatched me from the i'll.
My home was very sweet with you,
But you viii never see
How beautiful home can be
Till yOucomc up with me
To feel no sOrrOW, care or pain,
For we shall never die again.
And, sisters Will yon meet me there
1t wont be very long;
If Christ is yours, you'll see him too
And join the triumph song.
If Christ is yours when death shall cone
To lead you DER the river,
I'll come and take your other hand
And be with you forever"

large circle of acquaintances, but i'll
her home and among that smaller Cir
Gle of friends, who were privileged to

ated. She was generously endowed
with those qualities of mind and heart
that made her dutiful daughter, an
idoliZed sister, a loyal and devoted
wife, an affectiOnate and indulgent
mother, true and steadfast friend
and neighbor. Unmindful of herself,
she was most thoughtful and unset
fish in her ministry to the comfort
and happiness of others. Blessed is
the home where such as she presides,
and blessed the life that leaves behind
such kindly and inspiring memories.

to womanhood. About L years ago
