In Memoriam.

Early in the morning of February 26th the
Master came and called for her, and dear
ANNIE WOODS, aged nineteen years, went
home.
She was a scholar in the writer's schoqfat
Belgrade in 1886. She was so talented, 40
diligent, SO courteous, so truly modest, that
she was light shining in a dark place. AL
| though still within school age, she had taught
! one term, thus showing her anxiety to lead
| useful and honorable life.
cat thought Of her the air grows pure
And tremulousand sweet.
It was vision perfected,
A lovely life to meet:
Brave, patient worker here for Christ.
An angel now beside,
This world is richer that she lived,
And heayen that she died."
4The grave hath won thee. shall hear the
gush
or music, and the voices of the young,
| And Life will pass me In the mantling blush.
And golden tresses to the soft winds flung.
But thou no more with thy sweet voice
Will come to greet me.0 ~
"Does the dark and boundless river stretch
so wide,
The homeward rolling tide over whichhave
crossed
Our loved and early lost,
That their unsealed eyes may never see
The farther side, where still, amid
This coil and misery we hidey
We are yearning for your secret. Though
we call,
No answers ever fall upon our ddllard ears
| To charm away our fears.
Yet God Is over all, whatever may be,
| And, trusting so,patience, oh heart, q little
And we shall know.n
"Let not your heart be troubled then, he
said;
My Fathers house hath mansions large and
fair.
j go before you to prepare your place,
And will return to take you with me there.
And since that hour the awful foe is charmed.
And Life and Death are glorifed and fair
Whittier He went we know the way we know
And with firm step press on to meet Him
there"
Since the unseen-the aftertime--is the
characters which we form here, intensified
by being simpijfied and carried out to their
| legitimate result, though now we be broken
in the places of dragons and covered with
| the shadow of Death, and stand around the
graves devouring mouth, we can, In behalf
of our young friend, cherish u strong faith /.
| and good hope In Christ of resurrection.
| to glory and honor, Immortality, eternal life,
For If we believe that Jesus died AMI rose
again, even SO them also that sleep In Jesus
will God bring with Him.
