sessed every character to make a min
lister good wife. During her sickness
she frequently said, 81 am not afraid to

We live in the land of the dead and

Very excellent music was rendered
by the choir, appropriate to the occa-

heart was full Of virtues; her heart was
full Of Christ, but she rests now and
awaits the resurrection morning.
