UNITY.
Mary, wife of Luther Mitchell of Unity,
died Aug. 20, 1894. aged 70 years, 6 months
and Is days. A kind neighbor, sincere
Christian, a faithful and devoted wife left
us when Sister Mitchell quietly went out
from the shadows of earth into the radiance
of the perfect day. In her sickness Sister
Mitchell gave evidence of strong faith in
her Master. Without complaint she re-
manned calm and passive while the great
pain and distress caused by disease told her
the end was fast approaching. She often
spoke of the presence of the Master and
praised him to the end. Her departure has
left Brother Mitchell in great loneliness.
While advanced age confines him to his
home, he feels most deeply the loss of her
whose presence made their beautiful home
place of delight. Our brother has the
prayers and sympathy of large number of
friends in this sad bereavement. And may
the God of grace support him in his sor-
row and comfort his soul until he shall
hear the voice of the Master calling him up
higher to meet the departed to be separated
no more. j. &. l..
