The Death-angel which had for so long
been lowering near the home of Miss Sarah
Rhodes entered last Friday afternoon and
set the brave spirit free. Miss Rhodes was
stricken with consumption four years and
! half ago, and had more than once, as she
| expressed it, "wall<ed in the valley of the
shadow of death" But her wonderful
! courage and great will power kept death
at bay, and it was only after the most ter
rible suffering that she at last gave up the
struggle for life. For many years Miss
/ Rhodes was a rare and winning teacher in
the primary class of the Congregational
| Sunday-school, and an inspiration and help
among the young people and the church.
Even in her years of suffering, with her
quick sympathy and keen insight she gave
cheer and comfort to many burdened
friend, and no one could visit her without
receiving an inspiration toward better
life. Her Christian life was one which
went below the surface. She had an in
telligent knowledge of the questions of the
day, and of the broader work of the church
as a great body of believers, and, at the
same time, within the narrow limits of her
sphere she lived day by day patient, self.
sacrificing, accomplishing life, bearing her
own burdens and sharing those Of dear ones
so far az she could The funeral services
were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Mr..
Covell at her home on Sunday afternoon
The large attendance and the beautiful
floral offerings gave evidence of the esteem
in which she was held in the community.
Her loss will be keenly felt by her many
friends, and the tender sympathy of all is
extended to the bereaved sister and aged
father.
