ished, not as an experience Dut as
penalty and benumbing dread. Over
it in moments OF faith we can sing
the song OF lofty triumph, Thanks be
unto God, who giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ by the
grace OF the worlds redeemer sin has
been atoned for and death has been
changed into a peatitude.
Blessed are the dead, who die in
the Lord
WORDS OF COMFORT.
"These, brother men, friends, sorrow
ing ones, are the royal truths OF revela-
ton. A fathers promise over us, a re-
deemer's grace with us. dare not call
your minds to lesser truths in the
presence OF sorrow SO deep and far
reaching. The cloud that is over us is
indeed dark, but above it there shines q
great light and through it there CLEANS
the stars OF precious memories and un-
speakable hopes. A constant follower
OF God has been called to her reward.
"Think not of her as dead. The en-
trance upon larger, sweeter life in u
higher realm. TO die is gain"
"Think not OF her as lost to her home
and dear ones, to the friends who loved
her, and to the wide circle OF those in
this land who have learned to hold her
in such esteem. A noble life has in
deed ended in its relation to earth and
time, but its memory and influence are
with us. 1t is not for me to draw aside
the curtain that conceals the sacred
privacy of that home life. 1t is enough
to say that she made it the dearest spot
ON earth to those who formed part OF
its circle. There she showed SELF
denying devotion that never faltered.l
They never grew weary in her ministra.
tions OF loving service.
"The heart Of her husband did safely
trust in her. Her children rise up
and call her blessed and the people Of
this nation, bring to-day their token of
gratitude to her memory because she
did so much in her conspicuous station
to furnish the example OF American
christian home, noble and beautiful in
its fidelities and fragrant with the at
mosphere of love and faith. Her high
est ambition was to make her home an
ideal one, yet her pympathies and ac-
tivities we're not confined to that realm.
She took her full share in the dis.
charge OF the duties OF social life, OF
charity and OF religion. Whatever she
was in the larger relationship OF her
latter years outside OF this city, We here
remember her as the genial friend, the
hospitable neighbor, the faithful and
Jealous covenant follower OF Christ,
She had faith that showed itself not
in empty professions, but in good deeds
which che did; in helpful laborious
ministrations TO the little children in
the instruction Of the Sunday school in
the cause OF the orphans Of our com.
munity and in the, various causes OF
charitable and missionary work to
which she lent a helping hand and
warm heart. She never seemed to tiro
in her varied thoughtful service for tho
comfort and happiness OF others.
"Who of us who have had the privi-
lego Of knowing her but could bear
witness to the unfailing courage, the
sunny temperament, the kindliness OF
spirit which she carried through all
these years Of JOY and Of sorrow, OF
struggle and OF triumph, who OF us

word or example or good cheer have
been as q CLEAN OF sunshine. she had
the supreme gift of kindly sympathy,
one Of Code choicest gifts, sympathy Of
which great author truly says that it
is tho ono poor word which includes
all our best insight and our best love.
Endowed with rare self possession
and judgment she went from US to
meet the exacting duties OF the exalted
station with a purpose to adorn the
doctrine Of God, her Savior in all things
How high were her ideals OF what sta
ton required. How faithful she was
in fulfilling those wearing duties with
an unaffected simplicity and courtesy,
and hospitality towards all and every
Gloss who came within reach Of her in
iluence.
