fear of God, and served him. During the
short life allotted her, never was she absent
from Church, Sunday School or Missionary
Society, when health permitted. She was
a member of Kings Daughters Circle OF

During her long illness she was heard to
sing that beautiful hymn with much pathos:

Beyond The reach Of toi and care
A home where changes never come,
Who would not fain be resting there?"
We tender our sympathies to the venera-
