And in sadness here We dwell.
Home is sad, oh. God how dreary,
Lonesome, lonesome every spot
Listening for her voice till weary,
Weary, for we hear 1t not
Beneath the shadow of twilight
In the narrow casket bed
We gently laid our jamie
To sleep among the dead,
We will miss You, We will miss you
When We gather round the place,
Where ofold We used to see you.
With your bright and smiling face.
Well, If she is gone and now in heaven.
She sings His praise who died for her,
And to her hand harp is given
And she is heavenly worshipper,

and Christian character, and for the energy she
evineed in performing all the duties Of life As the
wife of a devoted husband she was indeed help
mate, and ever encouraged him in his work of ad-
ministraton to the afflicted. As mother she gave
deep impress the formation Of the character OF her
children, and laid the foundation deep and broad
for lives of usefulness, honor and integrity. As
member OF the church Of which she was a comnlu-
meant she exempled In her life "her faith by her
work" Sadly will she be missed by the little flock
at St. Paul's, where she delighted TO come whenever
her health permitted, and in the services of which
congregation she always took an active part rem
dering the instrumental portion Of the worship,
Her stricken family and numerous friends can re-
joiee that she has so we'll performed her allotted
work. and left record worthy of imitation. In the
spring time when all nature is about to assume
life she has entered into the rest promised to the
people of God, the fullness of which no finite mind
can describe. FRIEND.
