OBITUARY.

As we join the mournful procession
| which winds uphill to the cemetery bear.
ing all that is mortal of our beloved
friend, Mrs. Hotchkiss. sad and tender
thoughts come to us. She lived among
us for more than half century, and we
were witnesses of her beautiful life, OF
her holy walk. of her gentleness and
goodness and of her Astounding charity.
| In every relation of life she stood pre-
eminent in the faithful discharge of duty.
Her tilial piety was praise and prov
/ erb in the circle where her devotion to
her parents was observed. and none could
exceed her in the perfect fulfillment of
the duties of wife and mother. Asa Chris
tian, she had grown year by year into the
measure of the stature of the fullness
of Christ, bringing forth in her daily
walk and conversation all the ''fruits of
the spirit" and accepting every I'M
toward providence and each disappOint-
ment and trial that came to her with a
patience and submission marvellous to
those who knew the secret of her sorrow.
Dutiful herself, as daughter, it is not
surprising that she received from her
own children an affectionate devotion
and reverence. which were the natural
outcome of her pious precepts and beau
tiful example.
The loss Of such mother cannot be
estimated. Our sympathies are with her
bereaved family and with the large cir
Gle of relatives and devoted friends VIII o
were blessed with her love and friend
ship.
Not long ago, at the dawn of new
year, she sent to a friend, with loving
greetings, a volume, the opening page Of
which now seems prophetic. as the year
on which she so lately entered has al
ready opened to her the glories of the
heavenly world:
IF life's full cup shall be my happy por-
ton.
With thankful joy, III drink the precious
draught,
If death my waiting soul, across life's
ocean,
But little sooner to my home will watt.
So hope-lit New Year, with thy joy I'M
certain,
Whose unsolved mystery none may fore
tell;
calmly trust my God. to lift thy cur
tain,
Safe in His love for me, twill all be WE'LL.
