The Sermon, by Rev. NJ Eells, was
from the text Psalm I16:I7, Precious in
in the sight of the Lord IS the death of his
saints. In the remarks mention was
made of Gods ideas of preciousness being
far above mans taking as an illustration
the difference between parents ideas of
value compared with that of child of
few years. Thus mans ideas of value
were money. honor. pleasure, but Gods
were higher. He valued the death of the
saints, because he knew the value of re-
deemed soul, because death is a triumph
over this world, and because it is the re-
ceiving of friend who has been absent in
foreign country to her home.
Mrs. Nutter will be missed both in her
home and neighborhood and also in the
church and Sabbath school work, where
she was valuable laborer
SISTER, thou was mild and lovely
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening,
''When it floats among the trees. .
