MEMoRIUM.
In memorium of Miss Permillia Young,
who died on Sabbath evening, April ID,
| 1898. in the 39th year of her age, the
youn gest daughter of Simon p and Eliza
Young, this making five children they have
| been called to give back to God, and five
| still survive. God has mysteriously
divided them into two bands, five in the
Promised Land and five not yet passed
over. Sister Permillia was of a retiring
and modest disposition, very much attach
ed to her friends and loved by all who
knew her. In early life she made public
profession of her faith in Christ and re-
mained true to her VOWS and engagements
to the last, and told her friends that she
was ready for the Masters call to depart
and be with Christ which is far better.
| Therefore we sorrow not as those who have
died and rose again, even those who
sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.
| But 0 how we miss thee, Dear Permillia,
| we do not hear thy loving voice and do
not see thy gentle form, but Jesus has
taken thee to Himself where there is no
cloud and is no storm.
| Her beloved spake and said unto her,
rise up my love, my fair one, and come
away for 10, the winter is past the rain
is over and gone, the flowers appear on
the earth, the time of the singing of birds
is come, and the voice of the dove is heard
in our land. Arise my love, my fair one,
| and come away.
God grant that we may all hear thy
voice in these solemn providences saying
| be ye also ready for the Masters call that
we may, after we have finished the work
thou hast given US to do, pass over into the
Heavenly Home where we will be one un-
| broken band, and sing the song of the re-
| deemed unto Him that loved US and wash
ed US from our sins with His own blood.
| Be His the glory and the dominion and
| the power Tor ever and ever. Amen.
