The time is now at hand when our peo-
pie should begin to wake up to the impor-
tant fact that mines of almost inexhausti-
bic wealth lie close to our doors. Not
that great bonanzas and fabulous wealth
have been discovered, but that good mines
in which there are to-day millions Of
wealth, are close at hand and that the
time has come when our people should
turn their attention to them. for in these
mines lie the future great industry of this
portion of the territory at least. A brief
survey of the field will not be inuppropri-
ate at this time.

and true Christian faith illustrated its beautiful
application to the life and soul of follower of
our Saviour.
The triumphant death of an aged Christian is
the most attractive. interesting and beautiful
feature of human life. Look on one having
spent many years in the love and service of
God, resisting and overcoming every form of sin
and temptation, developing under the love for
Jesus like the rich and ripening fruit of the
bright but soft and genial sunshine, until gently
gathered by the loving hand of Saviour for
tie pure and endless happiness of heaven can
we know anything on earth that can compare
with 1t. or 80 warmly excite the love and faith
OF devoted Christians How forcibly too does
1t illustrate the truth of that faith which our
heavenly Father freely and fully gives to those
he loves nor can the human mind oppose with
any pretense of reason the power, the truth in
Its every development of that faith which bears
the dying Christian from earthly trials to the
loving embrace of that Saviour by whom was
prepared an endless heavenly happiness for the
dying saint. This sainted Christian opened her
mortal eye on temporary Sabbath on earth,
but IN few hours she closed it on every earth
ly scene to be re-opened to the happiness and
purity of an endless Sabbath in heaven. She
died on Sunday the 10th of January.

soul. She said while in health, and also during
her last sickness, the text she wished for her
