IN MEMORIAM.
"He giveth His beloved sleep. "

After years or suffering or heaft
disease, Tehleen Elizabeth Nc
Carroll, wife of w. Ii. Crews, died
Nov. Goth. She was born Feb.
Sd, 1S43, in Winana, Carroll Co.,
Miss. Those who loved and APP
preciated her, watched life's tide
ebb ont to break upon the further
shore.
A few hours before death came
she said to the loved ones around
her: of it is Gods will, I am
ready to go. | have no fear" But
we needed not the message. A
life beautiful in it's self-sacrifice,
in its constant thought for others
does not that bear the Christ
imagei
The trend of her life brings
home to one the thought that we
are all created for Gods glory.
The truth her life illustrated lives
on; others take it up and gather
strength. No life can be strong
and true and all not be stronger
and more true.
She trusted implicitly in the
living God, understood the frail-
ties of the flesh and believed firmly
in the efficacy of prayer. She had
a rich experience Of grace but
never once did she parade it to be
seen of men. Like the deep flow
ing river, it was too strong to be
restless; it moved on in its own
quiet way, ready to bear up the
weakness Of others.
She was perfectly transparent in
spirit, in thought and in motive.
To approach her was no difficult
task, she was the true friend of
humanity and to help others was
the labor of her life.
Her end came suddenly aud un-
expectedly, but her record was on
high, whittier her pure and noble
spirit took its flight. She has
gone from us, but life to her is
enlarged, the fruition is perfect,
the opportunity is widened. In
her home with her family about
her, there was that genuine devo-
ton, that noble bearing, that
affectionate regard, SO character
istic of her in other spheres Of life.
She has gone to join loved ones
gone before, in "the sweet fields
Of Eden" where awaiting her was
a crown Of many stars.
Her noble character was certainly
worthy of admiration, model of
true womanhood; for "none knew
her but to love her, none named
her but to praise her." She has
always endeavored to the best of
her ability to serve God rightly,
aud her adorning was not the out
ward adorning Of the wearing of
gold aud putting on Of snowy APP
parel, but in the innermostrecesses
Of her heart was that intense love
for the Master which enabled her
to do with a devoted spirit every
thing in His name.
She was one, rich in all the
beauties that adorn sweet women.
The influence Of her loving spirit
was felt by all whose sainted privi-
lege it was to meet her, and
beloved by all who ever gazed on
her pure, motherly cOuntenance.
: She leaves a heartbroken family
and host Of loving friends to
mourn her loss, but their loss is
her gain. Weep not, Tor she is
free from the tolls and cares Of
this world, aud her soul is now
sweetly reposing, "safe in the
arms of Jesus"
We mourn the loss OF one we love,
SO kind, so good, SO pure,
Whose daily work all through life
Was noticed to endure.
A ready, willing, helping hand
Illumine the twilight gray,
For such has been the life of her,
Our loved one passed away.
The human heart is sore oppressed,
To know that we must part.
No lips could frame in words the grief
That dwells within the heart.
The roses blossom, bloom and die,
Their sweetness cannot stay,
Just 80 death fastened to the tomb
Our loved one passed away.
Great and good, beloved by all,
A noble life is ended,
And many hearts are flied with grief
For many she befriended.
And so we shed the tears Of love,
This consola:ion's given,
To know that she is happy now,
Her soul is safe in Heaven
ONE WHO LOVED HER.
