her ueatn was not unexpected, as she had
been sick for some time. She had been a
member of the Methodist Church for Is
years, and. owing to excruciating suffering,
was anxious for the coming of death. She
was calm and resigned, and trusted in the
merits of the "crucifed One" She has
gone TO the home of the good. Her funer-
al was preached by Rev. Joel I. Dawes ON
Monday afternoon, afterwhich her remains
were placed in the sepulcher of rest. We
deeply sympathise with the husband and
children in their great bereavement.
What is death? Oh! what is death?
lis the swapping of the chain;
lis the breaking Of the bowl;
lis relief from every pain;
lis freedom to the soul;
lis the setting of the sun,
10 rise again to morrow
A brighter course to run,
Nor sink again to sorrow
Such is death yes such is death p
One gentle sigh their fetter breaks;
we scarce can say, They're gone
before the willing spirit takes
her mansion near the throne"
