IN MEMORY.
Thoughts suggested by the death OF a very
dear friend, Mrs. Mary f. Green, who fell
asleep In Jesus on the morning of the 9th of
April, lSSS:-
If left to our hearts TO say farewell,
The gate would stand atar;
Since she has gone to heaven TO dwell
II seemetb not 80 lar.
She left so many footprints here
To lead us on the way;
A rose she put upo" the thorn.
A kiss to wipe the lear away.
The hand 10 deft at the altar
Could u dOwny pillow make,
A cup OF cold waller oft did
She give for Jesus sake.
We laid her to sleep mid The flowers,
So calm, 80 peaceful, 80 sweet,
The trophies now gathered together,
Are laid ut the Masters feet.

good mind, well cultivated. and Il genuine
Christian. Her religious firmncss was II
noted characteristic of her Christian life.
Her Bible WAS her companion. She had read
Uses; and this was the secret of her Chris
tan influence. Having lived the life Of the
righteous, she died the death-one OF great
pence. When her father talked to her in
view of death, she said to him, 81 don't think
| am going to die now, but il IL is Gods will.
| am ready" When her babe was brought
to her for the last time, she embraced IL, and
showed an affection for it only as u mother
can for her first born. The last sentence

ton that attended the funeral sermon and the
burial services, gave expression to the feeling
of the community In reference TO this deps TT
ed Christian friend, and, also, their respect
for the living. At the house, where the
funeral services were held, was the saddest

The presence OF Sister Katie Chinn will be
missed in the congregation, in the missionary
society. in her fathers family, and especially
IN her own home. Her absence from US Is
her eternal gain. May God sanctily her death
to the salvation OF her husband, aud the good
OF all. j.. q. DALTON.
