enough TO accommodate all those pres

hear funeral sermon preached by her
cousin, Rev. n. NJ. Brown, pastor of a
NJ E. church of Pittsburg.
OF her Christian life enough cannot
be said--a kind word for everyone, gen
erous hearted and ever thoughtful of
others; patient and ever trusting; never
heard complaining through all her suf-
fering. but seemed to think she was al
ways better, only weaker Oh that
tUeIt were UlOIt OHIISJlttuS like
her When death came he was a wei
come messenger. She seemed only
patiently waiting The same loving
hand that sustained her throughout life
never failed her but safely led her
through the dark valley of death.
Loved one, thou art gone,
Over the river of death.
Until God shall call us
Into his home of rest.
Shall we but wait the summons,
And trust to be so blest.
Oh, how sad our aching hearts!
Since parting with one so loved.
Eyer faithful, ever kind
Never doubling Gods great love;
But trusting him in all things here,
At last to reign with Him above.
Upward may our thoughts be turned,
Gods will may we know and do
So Heaven at last may be our home.
JENNIE.
