| Then the address Of the presiding minis

/ I. 1851: But thanks be to God who giveth
us the victory through our Lord Jesus

| The address was listened to with an in
tense interest, because of its eloquent sim
plicity. With a glowing tribute to woman
hood, he painted in simple language the
holy worth ana elevating influence OF
woman. He recited how, from the incep-
ton of life in the Garden, man had been
useless and mediocre without the sustain
ing and encouraging spirit of the better
sex From this touching and highly eulo-
CYSTIC sentiment to woman, he applied the
whole general thought TO the personality
of Mrs Dold, whose cold form was then so
deaf to the words of the speaker, but the
ears Of many hesrt-full friends present
knew full well were peculiarly fitting and
applicable.
He mentioned her generous charity, her
lovely character, affable temperament, and
closed with the solemn prophecy that her
| influence as mother and wife was not dead
with her. but would live on and on and be
for good in that household and that home.
All present knew he had spoken well, since
no more devoted wife or gentle mother

Then Mr.. Gill announced that all would

Of their lamented friend, and then pass
out.
Immediately following this last feature
of the public services, the family entered
the room of the dead and a brief but i'm
pressive silent prayer service was held.
Then the private concourse went directly
TO Maple Grove cemetery, where, at the
| receiving vault, a short prayer service was
| held according to the ritual of the church.
and with the benediction the ceremonies
were all over, but at the expense of most
heartrending emotion on the part of all.
