MRS DR. G A. sHELToN.-A MEMORIAL
TRIBUTE.
1t is often said that death loves
shining mark" Very, very true many
times. There are some lives that, in
certain sense, seem too lovely and beau
full for this cold and selfish world; lives
all sweet, rich, sunshine, and golden
How such life lights up the dear old
home; and what joy it brings to the
loved ones there! Never sshall we for
get, how, on one pleasant July morning,
we were greeted and welcomed by the
dear one whose precious name is found
at the head of this memorial tribute, to
her own delightful and beautiful home,
That welcHme left an indeIibles impress
sion upon our heart and life! Oh, how
bright, and lovely, and noble she was
Her whole nature was full of sunshine.
What a sweet and delightful home she
made for her dear hush md How rich,
beautiful, and golden the tie that united
them! Hers was royal nature indeed.
She came in sweetest, angelic touch,
with all about and around herl Many
q sorrOwing child has received her sweet
benediction those in trouble found in
her kindly, sympathizing friend; and
she was never so happy, if possible, as
when making others happy. No wonder
the streets were lined with mourners,
and the church crowded with sorrowing
and weeping hearts, at the time of the
funeral. Hers was one of the grandest
lives we have ever known. An untold
Greasures she was indeed, to her pres
cious husband; wonderful help and
inspiration to him not only in the blessed
home life, but also in his professional
duties. What comfort and he'll she has
afforded him! In the now far-away
years of life we think OF him as a little
boy, one Of our own school mates, and
now he has obtained a noble position,
and, for more than twenty years he has
had the pure love, the sweet, presence
OF one Of the best wives the Lord ever
gave to any man. Flowers in abundance
Of sweetest fragrance were laid, from
loving hearts, on her last resting place
1T Riverside, but, on the verdant banks
Of the River of Life on high; where
flowers immortal bloom, the dear one
sings and rejOices to-day in the glorif1ed
presence of ner Savior. just across the
river she waits the coming of loved ones.
Some sweet day by and by the now
Borrowing and bereaved husband will
meet her again in the summer land of
song" JoyfullY sweet will that meet
ing be, over on the golden shore. Sor-
rowing ones, weep not, in Heavens
beautiful land, over on the Shores In
mortal, the dear one of pure heart and
home waits to welcome you. Soon
you'll see her again, to part no more.
