I OBITUARY.-How brief an experience
teaches US thai Gods ways are not our
ways, nor his thoughts our thoughts. In
\ the death oil Mrs. u. T. Dyer two families
! were most soreiy bereaveo. church sad
dened by the loss of one Of its members
and the whole community brought into
sympathy ana sorrow. The sickness OF
| Mrs. Dyer had been OF only two or three
weeks continuance, but disease made such
rapid and suchunchecked advance that the
! life forces were speedily overcome, and late
on Wednesday afternoon. Sept. "a, uncon-
scious OF the watching ana weeping OF
husband, parents and sisters the eYfs were
closed on earthly scenes. Less than year
a wife, she had taken place in the home
To which she went from which it seemed
that she could not be spared. And in the
many homes in the community into which
she has come during these past years,
bringing her pleasant smiles ana CHEEKY
ways and skilitul hands, there viii be
sense of very personal loss. She united
with the Baptist church some eight years
ago by letter from the church in Bellows
Falls, into " hich church she was baptised;
and while, in the suffering and delirium
and unconsciousness of the last days and
hours, she gave no especial word OF testi-
molly, we doubt not she passed away with
faith in that Christ for whom her words OF
witness had been many times given While
in health and strength. To the husband,
the parents, the brother and sisters so
sorely bereaved most heartfelt sympathy
is extended.
"Let US be patient, these severe Affections
Not from the ground arise;
But oftentimes celestial benedictions
Assume this dark disguise.
In that great cloister's stiffness,
BY guardian angels led;
Safe from temptation, safe from sins pol
luton,
She lives whom we call dead" p.
