HER PASTOR.
Died, Wednesday morning, April gath,
| 1895, at the residence OF her uncle, MT
Howard Griffith, Miss Irene Young, aged
eighteen years.
Scarcely ever has any young lady in the
| history of our county been so much ad.
mired and universally beloved. Possessed
of fine mental faculties, attractive and beau
tiul, she won friends wherever she went
| She was Christian and enjoyed sitting at
| the lootstool in His sanctuary learning OF
Jesus and His love.
She admired the beauties Of nature, loved
the things well pleasing in the sight of God.
Was true to her friends, loved her sisters,
brothers and father with true and untiring
devotion.
1t is sad, indeed, to see one so young, 80
pure and SO beautiful, just blooming into
womanhood, cut down SO unexpectedly
1t is doubly sad To the family, as this is the
third loved one they have buried within the
space of three years.
On the evening of Friday, April Goth,
surrounded by host OF friends, we placed
her body beside her mother and sister, to
sleep until the resurrection morn. We com
mend the family to the blessed Saviour who
has so graciously encouraged us to seek Him
in trouble, saying "Cal upon me in the
day OF trouble | will deliver thee and thou

may not harden them nor make them de.
spair. Let it work patience, experience and
hope, and when Thy purpose OF love is
thereby wrought in US, beyond all our hopes,
let the dark clouds hanging over her loved
ones be scattered and the bright light of Thy
love cheer and refresh their souls
A true friend of hers, &,
