Obituary.


, Died of pneumonia, February 5,
1902, Mrs. Nettie Hughes of Sabula,
Mo. She was "a years old and was g
member of the Seventh Day Adventist
Church at Sabula. Her illness was
brief, but her sufferings were great.
She leaves a husband and three small,
children and many relatives and
friends to mourn for her. But while
we mourn her loss we feel our loss is
her eternal gain. She was perfectly
willing to die, and said she was ready
and waiting for the Saviour's call
She left nothing undone, nor even d
doubt on the minds of those that min
istered unto her but that she is sleep
ing in Jesus.
Sister, thou art sweetly sleeping,
Free from pain, and toll, and care;
Dearest sister, how we miss thee!
Miss thee in the house Of prayer.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our songs shalt know.
Dearest one, thou hast left US;
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But tits God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When this mortal life is fled;
Then, in heaven, with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
Rosa GRESHAM.
