Death of Mrs. Waken1ght.

MIS-. wyoming u. Waken1ght, Wife OF
John Wakeright, and daughter of Mr..
j. Gambill Sprinkel, died at her resi-
dence in Harrisonburg on the 22d inst,
and was buried in WOodbine Cemetery
on the 24th, Revs. DIR. s. X. Cox, of the
Methodist church, and L. b. johnson of
the Presbyterian church. Harrisonbtrg,
officiating on the occasion.
Mrs. Wakenight was aged about 40
years, and for 10 years had been an in
valid, much of the time entirely helpless.
Yet through these long years of suffer
ing, never murmur escaped her lips.
She bore her affection with the most
complete christian resignation, sustained
by an unfaltering trust in Him Who
watches the fallen sparrow and tempers
the winds to the shorn lamb. She had
SO trained her three little girls and little
boy that they too, bowed submissively to
Christening rod, and through their tears
there cleaned a sweet, placid expression
as though they caught the inspiration
of that other life from their sainted
mother, where suffering is no more and
all tears are wiped away. The prayer
OF Rev. Mr.. Johnson was freighted with
tender pathos and touching, beautiful
sentiment, in unison with the life of the
deceased, and the sermon of DIR. Cox
was an instructive lesson drawn from an
experience SO full of christian grace and
hope SO assured of blissful immor-
talitY

cred by Mr.. Sayford, the Boston
evangelist. His theme was the heart,
taken from Psalm 1892 and not
withstanding the exceedingly warm
evening he held the close attention
Of his large audience, and the inter-
est is rapidly increasing IN his work.
A most interesting praise service
preceded the address in which the
new hymn book was used.
The sining was led by Mr.. Bissel,
and Miss Lowrie presided at tho
piano.
A special interest seems to center
in these evangelistic meetings which
are fast becoming the general topic
OF conversation throughout the city.
Mr.. Sayford will speak this evening
nt 1880 o'clock, in the association
hall, and those who have not heard
him should make an effort to do so.
