friends who are left to mourn her loss

illness she has entered into that rest
that remains for the people of God.

than once during her illness, and =, g
found her ever the same patient chrle-
tian, Notwithstanding the long Weel S
of suffering. All the need for such
meekness should and no doubt is in
this case great indeed. We bow our
heads and our hearts go out in sympc-
other relatives who seemed almost in
consolable while tender hands laid her
lifeless form to rest in the quiet coun-
try churchyard near the old school
house where she spent her childhood
DAYS. Especially d. we tender our
sympathy to the young lady friend who
watched at her bedside with such ten
der care during her last days. Also tC
the young man whose many hopes lie
buried with her in the dark grave to-
day. May the Lord comfort, strength
en- and help that sister and brother tC

Him who alone can make smooth the
