"a precious ono from us is gone
A voice we loved is stilled.
A place is vacant in Our home,
Which never cen be filled.
God, in His wisdom, has recalled
The boon His love had given.
And though the BODY moulders here
The soul is safe in Heaven" b.

our holy Christianity. hence her end WI
a most haTpy triumph over death. her las

denly. for her TO leave this world and bel
dear family, yet it did not surprise her
81 am wiling to 60 now II it is Gods viii
