lip to lip.
After lingering illness of nearly
five weeks, Mrs. Della c. Wegman,
Of Oakland, the loving and obedi-
ent wife of Chas. Wegman, and a
cherished daughter of Jesse and
Eliza Michael, of Firm. Rock, was
called from the portals Of time into
eternity on the 9TH Of November at
1880 p. m, aged "a years, three
months, three weeks and five days.
The cause of her death was
pneumonia. She was first stricken
down with typhoid fever and after
four weeks suffering the fever was
finally subdued, and just when the
friends and relatives were building
hopes of her recovery, and too when
she herself seemed to rejoice that
she was recovering, she was again
stricken with pneumonia, which
brought tears to her own eyes and
igogrow to those around her. And
in her already weak physical condl-
ton she was unable to stand the
suffering, and her spirit took its
flight. 1t was as if God had said to
her, "Come We blessed Of my Faith
er, inherit the things prepared for
you from the foundation Of the
world"
She was consistent member of
the NJ. E. church at Firm Rock
for ten years, and from almost the
last words spoken by her in which
she said, 81 am going home, | do
not fear DEATH" the relatives and
friends may rest assured that she
simply sank into the arms of Jesus
to be born to the everlasting rest
transplanted into fairer cline,
where there is no more death, no
more suffering, no more tears.
There everlasting spring abides.
And never whitening flowers"
Her remains were brough to Firm
Rock, at the home of her parents,
on the morning of the 9th, and on
the evening Of the 9TH her funeral
was preached at Firm Rock church,
Rev. Hubbard, pastor Of NJ. E.
church south of Piedmont, of1iciat-
ating. He gave an impressive and
interesting talk from the 4th chap.
and 18th verse of Thessalonians.
The words are these: "But | would
not have you to be ignorant breth-
rem, concerning them which are
asleep; that We sorrow not even as
others which have no hope" after
which the remains were taken to
the family burying ground and laid
in their final resting place.
The large concourse of people
who gathered to listen and to pay
the last tribute of respect to our
deceased friend, proves that she
had many warm friends, and that
the husband, father and mother,
brother and sisters whose cup of
sorrow had run full, have the SYM
pathy of the entire community. To
the bereaved husband, who has
enjoyed domestic felicity for so
short a time, ten months, we would
say, trust in the Lord and all will
be well, and He who watches the
sparrows as they fall to the ground
has said, 81 will never leave thee
nor forsake thee
LET me go! for am weary
Ofthe chain which binds me here,
Let my spirit bend its pinions
Toa brighter, holier sphere.
Earth, tits true, has friends to bless me
With their fond and faithful love,
| But the hands of angels beckon
Me to brighter worlds above.
LET me go! for earth has sorrows,
Sin, and pain, and bitter tears;
All its paths are dark and dreary;
All its hopes are frOught with fears;
Short lived are its brightest flowers,
Soon its cherished hopes decay;
Let me go! I fain would leave it,
For the realms of endless day.
| LET me go, my heart has tasted
Ofmv Savior'S wondrous grace;
Let me go where 1 shall ever
See and know Him face to face;
Let me go; the trees of Heaven
| Rise before me- waving bright,
And the distant crystal waters
| Flash upon my failing sight.
Let me go! for songs scraphic,
Now seem calling from the sky;
'Tis the welcome or the angels,
Which cen now are lowering nigh;
Let mego! they wait to bear me
To the MANSIONS ofthe blest,
Where my spirit, wan and weary,
Finds at lastits long sought rest.
