Cora Louise Hoyt.

The funeral services over the remains of Cora Louise, l2-years-old daughter of Rev and Mrs J. F. Hoyt, were held at the Congregational church, last Sunday afternoon. Rev Mr Saunders read the scriptures :Rev MT Chapman of St Johns preached the sermon from the text, ssLo I see four men loose walking in the midst of the fire and they have no hurt ,; and the form of the fourth is like the son of God" Mir Chapman's words were full of comfort and cheer to the grief stricken family and made deep impress ion on his hearers. Rev MT Keeler of South Britain offered the concluding prayer.s The music consisted of hymn 510, By cool Siloam's shady rilI,' the second verse, so beautiful and appropri- ate. is quoted:
 Lo! such the child whose early feet
 The paths of peace have trod;
 Whose secret heart. with influence sweet
 Is upward turned to God.
 Hymn 456, My Jesus as thou wilt P At the close of the services, the hymn "Lead me to Jesus' was sung by the choir and representatives of the Sunday school. This hymn was favorite o1 Cora's and was sung by her at Sunday school concert not long ago. So closes the earthly life of one who by her exam pie and influence may Head to Jesus some who knew her. It is the testimony of her parents and teachers that there was never occasion to correct or reprove her and that she uever spoke an unkind or impatient word. She was always obedient, unselfish, cheerful and happy. "Of such is the kingdom of heaven.' The bearers were Frank Wright, k. H. Beers, Hervey ". Wheeler, Henry Fan eker, Frederick Hubbell, Charles k. He lin.
