DEATH OF MRS. JUDD.
A Good Woman Passes Away After a
Lingering Illness.

Mrs. w. J. Judd, wife of DR.. w. j.
Judd, died at her home in this place
about 8 O'Clock Thursday morning,
Nav 23rd. She had been sick about
months and was great sufferer,
bearing her affection with patience
and Christian resignation. Mrs. Judd
was good woman and was greatly
esteemed by those who knew her. She
was a member Of the Baptist church
and devont follower of the Saviour.
A husband and six children, three
boys and three girls, are left to mourn
the loss OF a devoted wife and mother.
The funeral was held from the Bap-
list church at $3.50 o'clock Friday
afternoon. Rev. L. j. Taylor, of
Warrenton, conducted the service,
being assisted by DR.. Hufham and
Rev. A. r. Shaw. Mr.. Taylor's re-
marks were singularly beautiful and
impressive, appropriate to the occa-
sion and suited to the life and char.
acter of the departed one. The burial
was at the cemetery.
"A Friend" contributes the follow
ing:
If the translation of Elijah was glorius
being suddenly borne upward in q
chariot of tire-hOw much more glorious
to witness a soul refined out of the flesh
in the crucible OF protracted suffering.
Mrs. Judd was heroic from the first.
In the beginning of her illness she stub
bornly fought the disease for the sake of
her husband and children. She did not
dread suffering SO much as it's issue. She
did not fear death SO much as she recoiled
from the thought OF separation.
When she gave up all hope of recovery
she bravely endured the frequent parox-
ysms of the most excruciating pain. Not
that she bore it without any questioning
But her doubts We're about her accept
ance with God in view OF her affection.
At times she could not reconcile God s
pleasure and the fact of suffering. She
invariably received courage whom re-
minded of the suffering of our Savior
for us.
heprayed belevirgly and ntelligently.
Before going to the hospital she COM
mitted her all to the Savior. On return
ing SO much improved she held praise
service for His goodness.
When the Bible was being read to her,
she would grasp its every utterance to
feed her hungering soul on its hidden
truth
1t was a genuine solace to her. 1t is
remarkable how skillfully she could apply
it to the comfort of her loved Ones-hOw
she could detect Gods love and wisdom
in His dealings and declare the same over
and over to her Borrowing comrades.
She often yearned for yelling up OF
enthusiastic faith. She wanted to rejoice
in tho O Of hpipU saved
She loved her family with increasing at
lection Was glad to have them near.
When some of them We're compelled to go
away, she would grieve for the absence
more than for her illness.
And a few minutes before she breathed
her last she seemed to leave a mOtherly
farewell through her eyes to those who
We're near her.
Mrs Judd appreciated every kindness
shown her by the inmates of her own
home and by her neighbours Her life W as
Christian pure and simple. She was
tan death The patient, tender minis
tration of loving hands was Christian
children, sister, relatives and neighbOrs.
The long watchings OF her companion,
himself enfeebled in body. was Christian.
Hers now is the Christians rest.
May the home group about her bedside
on the morning of May twenty-third be
grouped again never to separate in our
Fathers House.
