a Miss Mary Avery Of Brooklyn. To her
remarkable artistic and sociable abilities
during the thirty-two years of married
life, has been due much of the success
that has marked her husbands career.
Yet for mere worldly honors neither car
ed much. MY home is my altar, my
family is my inspiration" said Dr. Tai
mage to friend TO whom he was eX-
planning his strong domestic attachments.
And not once, but many times. has he
told in tones OF warmest love and admir-
alton, how much he owed to this true
and noble helpmate who has been, next
to divine inspiration. his greatest im-
pulse and incentive to high achievement.
In these hours of trouble and sorrow,
the hearts of the multitudes who read
his sermons regularly in this paper viii
go out in sympathy toward him who has
so often administered consolation to the
suffering The space that is usually de-
voted to his weekly sermon, we give to-
day to this simple account of his be-
reavement 1t was his wont, at such
times, to speak words of golden consola-
ton TO other hearts that bled. and at
rare intervals to reveal to his own inner
most heart TO his friends. In one memoir
able sermon, preached on Jan. g. 1881,

i know of no way Of getting the wheat
out of the ear except by threshing il.
know of no way of purifying the gold ex-
cept by putting 1t in the crucible. Go
among those men and women who have
accomplished most for God-go anywhere
and you will find they have had the bap-
tlsm of tears. oh, there is something beau
tiful about baptism on sacramento day
when the water is sprinkled on the face
of the child; but there is a more solemn
baptism than that. and that is the bap-
tism of tears. Just look at the consola-
ton which comes to Gods children. See

tied. If l have wronged others, in that
last hour l want to be sure of their for
giveness. If their are hands stretched
out from this world TO hold me back.
there will be hands stretched out from
Lord Jesus, help me on and help me up.
Unfearing and undoubting, may l step
right out into the light and be able to
look back to friends and kindred who
would detain me, saying, Let me go, let
me go, the day breakethr l would not
dare to trust myself very far in this re-
ference or allusion. When we were rid

derstand this composure which 1 feel
and this strange peace; and it was sug-
gested then and there: There is a vast
multitude of people praying for US That

II testify of the comforting grace of
God. Religion is a tremendous reality
God will wipe away all tears from our
eyes. There shall be no more sorrow or
signing; neither shall there be any more
pain"
The remains were brought to Brooklyn
