four years ago. we put away for the
resurrection.
About eighty years ago. and Just be-
fore their marriage day. my father and
mother stood up ia the old meeting
house 1t Somervillc. N. j.. aud took
upon them the vows OK the Christian.
Through long life OF sicissitude my
mother lived harmlessls and usefully
aud came 10 her end la peace. No
child OF want ever came to her door
aud was turned away empty. No one
In sorrow came to her but WAS COM
forted. No one asked her the way 10
be saved but she pointed hius 70 the
cross. When the angel Of life came to
q neighbours dwelling she Was there to
rejoice At the starting OF another i'm
mortal spirit. When the angel Of death
came 10 that dwelling she Was there to
robe the departed for the burial.
We had often heard her, when lead
Ing family prayers in the absence OF
my father, say: 20 Lord. ask not for
my children wealth or honor. but / do
ask that they may all be the subjects Of
my comforting grace" Her eleven
children brought into the kingdom Of
God she had but one more wish aud
that Was that she might sec her long
absent missionary sou. and when the
ship from China anchored la New York
hsrbor and the long-absent one passed
over the threshold Of the paternal home
she said: Now. Lord. lettesf thou thy
servant depart in peace. for INV eyes
have seen thy salvation"
The prayer was soon answered.
IL was an autumnal day when We
gathered from affair. and found only the
house from which the soul had fed for
ever. She looked very natural the
hands very much as when they we're
employed in Kindness for the children.
Whatever else we forget. We never
forget the look of mothers hands. As
We stood by the casket we could not
help but say; Doesn't she look beau

to the last resting place. The wither-
