In Memoriam.

Mrs. Zipporsh E. Powers, wife of Dr. R. l.. Powers, fell asleep in Jc- sus on "Wednesday morning July 22, 1891.
 Her death was sudden and unex- pected to her bereaved family and many dear friends.
 We felt when we heard the sad news, how can her devoted husband and dear children do without that angel wife and mother in that sweet home, and how can her many, many friends spare her whom they loved SO we'll?
 It can truthfully be said of her, she filled every position in life well. She was all that was lovely and ad- mirable in woman. A rare gem. To us, it seems a strang mysterious providence to take her in the midst of so much usefulness, but her mis- sion on earth is ended. By faith we can say.
 "God nothing does or suffers to be donc
  Through all events, and times as well as Iie.' While, we shall see her sweet face no more in this world, nor hear her sweet gentle voice again and enjoy her loving companionship-her in- nuence is not lost. It will last throughout time and eternity. Her mission here (which to us seems un- tinished) is only the beginning of a grander one in heaven.
 "A little way-I know it is not far
 To that dear home where my beloved are. From thy hand take the cup T cannot under
 stand,
 And in my weakness give myself to thee, Although it seems SO very, very far
 To that dear home where my beloved arc
 know know
 II is not so,
 O, give me faith to feel il when say, That they are gonc-gone but little way
 No higher culogy could be bestow- ed upon her, than her sorrowing hus- band bestowed the day she died. He said, "She was the best woman lIldJ CNtl HNct dlt SiiC IallIIN hti religion wherever she went. "
 She was practical Christian. As wife she was perfect treasure. As mother, she was always pa tient, gentle and loving. As a friend, she was true. No one was ever turned from her door unhelped. She remembered the poor and re- leved the distressed in modest un- ostentatious way as she had oppor- tunity.
 We miss her in her home, in her church and in our little Aid Soclc- ty." May we all emulate her virtues and follow her beautiful example, and be as reconciled to our Heavenly Fathers will, as she was when the summons came. She died as beau tifully as she had lived, "perfectly willing to go, if it is Gods will, :" and peacefully fell asleep.
 And ifthrough patient tol we reach the land,
 Where tired feet, with sandals loose may rest, Then we shall clearly see and understand
 think we will say, "God knew the best" Resolved 1. That the ladies Aid Society of the Presbyterian church of which the was an earnest member. has sustained great loss; the fam ily a devoted wife and mother, That we bow submis sively to this mysterious dispensation and that we will always cherish-her memory, ever striving to emulate her christian eX- ample.
 ,. That we tender to the grief stricken family our heart felt sympa- thy in this hour of bereavment.
 3. That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the record of our society, a copy be furnished the be- reaved family and a copy be furnish ed our town papers for publication.
