Aunt Cassie Reynolds answer
ed the sun mons Of death. and
passed through the gates int
the city the city Of God.
How nobly beautiful II was,
this life that fingered so long and
so sweetly with us. so long and
SO sweetly, because . great love
nourished it and gladdened it
and made ittenderly sympathetic
and joyously content with hu.
mainly and so willing q servant
to all mankind.
Three score years and ten is
the measure Of the days that man
may call his own In the limits OF
time but now and then life
runs on so beautifully that the
exquisite bloom Of it encircles
with summer fragrance a pro.
longed winter. and here was one
whom three score years and
twelve found still a loving bene.
factor to her kind.
No young life can compare in
beauty with hers on which rest
ed the coronal of so many we'll
spent years, And because Of the
glory of its sunset we long to
know more of the da,cnimg of this
noble life.
1t was begun at Washington,
Pa, where she spent her child
hood. Later. she moved with
her friends to Pruntytown where
for many years her father Rev.
Wheeler presided over Rector
College.
From Pruntytown she came to
Clarksburg where she has ever
since resided-cherished and
loved by all who knew her.
While yet a child she gave her
heart to the Saviour and united
with the Baptist church.
During the last few years of
her life. she was not often per-
mitted to meet with us in our
church relations, but we know
that every interest Of the church
was hers and 1T was her daily
prayer that it might grow and
prosper.
Prayer was the Mecca of her
earthly pilgrimage, and here she
ound her greatest blessings. her
sweetest joys, and aspirations.
The world was apoem to her;
eye, ear and heart were recep.
tive to spiritual Influences, and
nc matter how great the sorrow
or love.deep the affection through
which she nassed. she could say:
..All things work together for
good to those who love the
Lord"
So fully was her life dedicated
to Christ that He formed her
constant theme. She delighted
to talk with her friends of Jesus,
and many sweet memories will
come to US as the days go by OF
her Christian faith, and patience,
her loyalty to Christ and her
church, her love for 1.-THE good,
the beautiful and the true" She
was an inspiration to those who
were so blest asto have her COM
panlonship. And may those she
loved most dear initiate her in
her goodness and Christlike ex-
ample.
Speaking of death. she said I:
'Tis buta beautiful dream into
which Ishall pass to awake in
the presence of God.
And what joy was hers when
the dream merged into life eter-
nal. She stood in the very pres
ence of the king. She was the
