MRS. G. NJ, BOTTOMLEY.

On September 20, of this year. 1884, in the
town of Tilsonburg. Ontario. there passed on
from the sweet home below to the sweet rest in
heaven. MRS. CARRIE MAY BoTToMLEY, cher
1shed wife of j. G. Bottomley, and devoted
mother of wolovely and promising sons. Young
In years. happy In life, with no shadow of death
or sorrow upon her Observation-Disclosures To all
good works, 1T does indeed seem mysterious to
us who loved her, that she should so early he
called away from such a beautiful and helnfuI
life. But God knoweth whom he wants to tend
the blossoms In his heavenly garden, and lust
when to bestow upon these the crown of re-
1oicing; and somewhere do we hope to see
just how this joy that hath been given her shall
fold about and permeate our sorrow, until sor-
row becomes reconciliation, and reconciliation
merges into that peace of soul that the world
can neither give nor take away"
Mrs. Bottomley knew Christian womans fun
trust. Her heart was stayed on the Lord .Jesus
Christ, and her faith In the universal goodness
of the universal Father was unchapeeable
There being no church of her own faith in the
lovely town of her home, and feeling that her
family must have church-home, and the bene-
fit of religious service and Christian association
and society, she united with the Episeopal
Church-the church next nearest her heart to
her own. She was faithful in all church duties;
devoted daughter Of the King. She tried In
all things to understand the Kings will and to
be about the Kings business, but the comfort
and delight of her heart amid the surrounding
conflicts and tragedies of human life, was the
unfailing trust in Gods fatherhood-the great
northumberland the final triumph of good
over all sin and all woe.
And she passed out and on, with her last
tender glance upon him whom she loved best on
earth" knowing that not one of her dear ones
could "eyer drift beyond our Fathers love and
care" L. FIDELIA w. GILLETTE.
