| Mary A. Stone was the founder and prin-

teacher for SO years and at the time of
her death was IS instead of Ga years as
previously stated. The verses are as fol-
| lows:
She is sleeping, she is sleeping, and sweet is
her rest,
| Though the clods OF the valley press hard on
her breast,
Though cold, dark and dreary her bed seems
to be,
Yet sweetly she's sleeping, from sorrow set
free.
She is sleeping, she is sleeping, and sweet is
her rest,
For the grave of the Christian by Jesus is
blest;
| She has crossed the dark valley and lies in the
| tomb,
And the light of His presence has scattered
the gloom
| She is sleeping, she is sleeping, but soon will
awake
At the sound of the trumpet, the grave she'll
At the first resurrection, she'll awake and
come forth,
Forever to dwell with the saints on the earth.
She is sleeping, she is sleeping, then why
should we grieve,
For we know she's with Jesus forever to 1--we,
She is free from all sorrow, toll, care and pain
Ana what is our loss, is her infinite gain.
