 The funeral of Mrs. M. A. Smith was held from her late residence Saturday af- ternoon, at 23O, Rev. A. J. Mcleod of the Congregational church officiating. The attendance was large, the lower part of the house being filled with the relatives and friends who gathered to pay the last respects to the deceased. Many were present from out of town. Rev. A. J. Mcleod spoke feelingly and we'll. He said in part:
 ''We are assembled for the purpose of paying the last sad rites of earth to wife, Christian neighbor, friend; to one whom you have all known, and known only to love. At this time 1t is not necessary for me to eulogize, for her life among you has been the best eulogy. Still grand though this life has been, like every other life on earth, it has come to an end. The longest life which has ever been lived can be summed up in a word-dead. Me- thuselah lived 969 years, and his life is summed up In this short sentence, And he died. To this end we must all come individually. Our friends and neighbors can help us in bearing many of the bur dens of life, but cannot aid us in this final struggle. Moses must go alone on Nebo, and there with God he died. But the conflict had been fought before he ascend ed the mount, and with this thought comes the most pertinent question that can be asked-What can give comfort in this hour? The answer arising to me is, The memories of a life in Gods service. Paul said near the close of his life Fl am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. have fought a good fight, have finished my course, have kept the faith;' and now as a re- suit of this life, and according to the promises of Thy word, 'Henceforth, there is laid up for me crown of righteous ness which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day. And not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Again developed Chris tian character gives comfort in this hour This was illustrated by the parable of the house on the rock and on the sand. The man who built character on any thing but the sure word of God at this hour would fall; but he who built upon the eternal word could welcome the final struggle For through the struggle comes higher development, and we are brought nearer to Christ. Another question comes to us all at this time-Shall we know and be known by our friends? A few weeks ago Nature put on shroud and seemed to glide into the grave of winter. The fields where the golden sheaves grew look ed dead; but those trees which the rough winds have been tossing were not dead. |
