Death of Mrs. N. w. Good

On Wednesday evening, June IA,
the community was shocked and
grieved to hear of the death of Mrs.
Good, wife of the Pastor of the M.
E. Church.
Mrs. Good had been sick for some
time, but was not thought to be
seriously ill until the day of her
death; and although something like
a premonltion of thecoming affliction
may have entered the hearts of her
husband and of those nearest her.
to the great majority of her friends.
the sad blow came like the quick
flash of lightning from the clear
azure of heavens depths.
1t is not enough to say that grief
alone filled the hearts of those who
for years have had the privilege of
knowing and loving herself and her
husband; united in their sorrow, all
friends mingled with it heartful
sympathy,which even though power
less in the presence of death, to
soothe the troubled soul of the be-
reaved husband, yet is one of Gods
richest gifts to his children, one of
the most priced.
We feel that it is right to sorrow
over the death of loved ones; Jesus
wept when Lazarus died. But what
IA happy and blessed thought it is to
all, that the friend who has gone to
what we call the unknown country,
reposed secure to the last, in the
strong arms of him whom she knew
had tasted death for her, and whose
support was her life and her all. 1t
is with this thought alone, that we
bid our tears depart, for she has seen
the glory of the Son Of God she has
gone to the loving protection of one
who doeth all things well, and in
whom there is no unrighteousness
Let us think OF this; let us remember
that "the richest fruits may grow
where the bitterest tears have fallen'
and rest in our assurance that she
is in better world than this, where
no one Of Gods elect shall ever saw,
81 am sick"
The great number of beautiful flo.
raj tributes attest the loving esteem
in which Mrs. Good was held. We
