IN MEMORIAM.

Miss H. Ellen Ridgeway, aged Y
wears, died at her home, near Jordan,
March 9th 1896. Although uncon-
scious when found, and remaining
so, we have a we'll grounded hope
that our friend is forever with the
Lord. She joined the church at an
early age and was a consistent Chris
tian from the date of her conversion
to her death. She was devoted to
all interests of the church. She was
especially cheerful around her fire
side and always looked on the bright
side of life, thereby encouraging
others to look forward to better
things. Our friends are passing over;
the blood washed company on the
other side of the river is growing
larger each day.
There is a happy land
Far, far away,
Where saints immortal stand
Bright, bright-as day,
A FRIEND.
