REMARKS BY REV. DR.. TwITCHELL OF
DWIGHT PLACE CHURCH.
In rising to express my personal SYM
pathy and that of my brethren in the
ministry, for our dear brother and his
family in their bereavement, and to utter
such words of comfort as may, am pro-
foundly impressed with the privilege
which was granted our dear sister to have
part in worldwide missionary work.
Christians can be found who are content
with labors close at home, and Christians
can also be found who shrink from any
activities. near at home or for those far
away, which tax and try them. Not 80
with her whose translation has summoned
Us here to-day. The largeness of
the srpeuess ,s of os, manifest v. in
and the self-sacriHce with which the Chris
tian takes up the tasks allotted him of God
and joyfully embraces the opportunity to
serve, whatever be the cost. It is grand to
have been accepted of God for this large
mission. Character, however, along the
Christian line, Is as beautifully and force
fully developed in the home as in the out
side world, aud the Christian character
nowhere shows itself more worthy to be
enthroned in human affections and to be
rewarded of the Lord than in the home,
where the mother sits as queen.
Need say to any who have known this
Christian woman that the beauty and glory
of her life were made manifest in the home
and in society about the home as erandly
as in this wider sphere of mission work?
An intellectually seldom surpassed by a
woman, conscience seldom found more
keenly alive to duty, were hers, and an af-
lection deeper, tenderer, wider, more sym
pathetic, more serviceable and more sacri-
ficing you would go far to find. The fra
GRANGE of that life filed every room in this
home, made sacred by her presence
mother love, deep, unchanging, wifely
affection manifesting itself through
long years of blessed union with her
husband. in ministries which helped
to give him the usefulness and
the honor so well earned. This will
never lose sight of her who has gone from
it, though the eyes that see are dim; and
these hearts left in the home will never
lose the fragrance, the peace, the power,
the plentitude of that life, though they
wait for the greetings and reunions of the
heavenly home. The door of this home
never opened unto q sufferer, or one who
sorrowed, or one who was in distress along any
line, but what the wife and mother in the home,
greeting that conner, gave warm welcome; and
muititudes in this community, cherishing her
memory, rise up to-day to call her blessed. This

blessed home that lies beyond the reach of our
earthly vision, whose portals she has crossed,
whom she served SO long, and, / doubt not, by
the friends to whom she nninistered while pass

Christian religion teaches us that service ends
rot with our earthly life, but that he who passes
from these scenes into the paradise of GOD takes
upon himself, herself ministries more sweet and
precious if possible, than ever fell to the lot Of

obliged to stand there by the open grave com

son, no comfort would be ours. But standing by
That open grave, turning from it to our homes
made desolate by the loss we experience this
blessed Gospel which our brother preached for
SO many years, and with the comforts of which
he ministered to SO many bereaved hearts and
homes, causes the veil to rend and gives
US to look within. 1t is not ours here to day to
say what this sainted woman has seen. The ut
most stretch Of our Imagination falls far short.
Ii Is not ours to intimate to one another what she
has heard, the welcome she has found the joy
upon her soul. But we may, with these revela-
tons OF scripture, picture to ourselves the per-
lection or all the heart wish, and so, with the
sorrow that fills us and covers us, the radiance
OF the Christian hope brings brightness to us.
Blessed to have been the husband of such
woman so many years; blessed to have been the
children of such a mother and to have had her
spared so many years; blessed to have belonged
to church iu which her ministries were so
sweet and sef-sacrihcing: SO many years; but,
beloved, the most blessed thing Of all, for us
who know and love her, is that later on, how
near we cannot tell, when our turn shall come
we Shall join her in the home, to go no more out
forever. Let these thoughts comfort us, enrich
US in our faith, strengthen us for our remaining
services, enlarge our view of the range and glory
OF the Gospel of the Son of God, and hold us
steady until too shall pasS unto rest and
