Mrs, Susie Appleby Writes
Touching Obituary on Her
Sisters Life.

Asbury Church IN the winter OF
1875, Rev. Enoch Stubbs preacher
in charge. She WAS married to John
T. Pierce April 2Sth, 1877. In the
year 1877 she became an earnest
seeker of the truths as taught in
Gods holy word. She saw in its
teaching the doctrine of immortal
ity only in Christ Jesus, and that
Eternal Life could only be obtained
at the second coming of Jesus Christ
who by the resurrection Of the dead
will give Immortality and Eternal
Life to all his sleeping saints. This
blessed hope was very precious to
her and she was an earnest watcher
for his glorious appearing to claim
his bride by translation of the
living and a resurrection of the
dead.
On September 7th, 1902, she fell
asleep in Jesus. The funeral took
place from her late residence, 1905
Lancaster avenue, Wednesday,
September 10th, 1902. The service
was conducted by Rev. j. W. Eas-
ley assisted by Rev. H. S. Thomp-
son and e. w. Quigley The Rev.
j. W. Easley read a selection from
the scripture followed by very
earnest and touching prayer by
Rev. H. S. Thompson. Her Sunday
school class then sang a familiar
HYMN of hers my Times are in
His Hands" A very able discourse
was delivered by E. w. Quigley.
He oegan by quoting from the 18th
chapter of 1st Corinthians. 51st
verse and onward. Behold | show
YOU a mystery, we shall not all
Sleep but we shall all be changed.
III moment in the twinkling of
an eye at the last trump; for the
trumpet shall sound ana the dead
Shall be raised incorruptable and we
shall he changed. But when this cor.
ruptabe shall have put on incorrup-
ton AMI this mortal shall have put
on Immortality then shall have come
to pass the saying that Is written.
Death is swallowed up in victory.
This SAVING has not come to pass yet
for death is the victor and our Slstet
is the victim; alter a long hard fight
we ind the enemy has laid her low
for death is called an enemy and we
read that the last enemy that shall
he DESTROYED is death the time is
coming when there stall be no death:
for Jesus shall bring his people from
tile land OF the enemy. 1t was Tor
this very doctrine that Peter and
John after healing the lame man at
the gate Of the temple were put IN
the hold fer the SadduceeS were
grieved because he preached through
Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
Tie APOSTLE Paul comIortcd the
Thesso!ouIans with This hope for We
read in the first EpiStle to the TheS-
soIonions 4th chapter from the 18th
verse and onward: But ! would not
have YOU to be ignorant brethern
concerning them which are asleep
that We sorrow not even as others
which have no hope For If we be-
licvc that Jesus died and rose again
even 50 them also which sleep in
Jesus will God bring him. For this
| say unto YOU by the word of the
Lord not by the wold Of man or the
Pope or any Bishop, but by the word
Of the Lord that we which are alive
and remain unto the coming OF the
Lord shall not prevent them which
are asleep. For the Lord himself
Shall descend from Heaven with Il
shout with the voice Of an alcliangel
and with the trump OF God: and tile
dead in Christ shall rise first, Then
we which are alive and remain Shall
be caught up to gether with them IN
the clouds to meet the Lord in the
air: and so shall we be ever with the
Lord. Wherefore comfort one an
other with these words.
Johu, the Revel ator looked down
the streams of time when there
should be 10 more death, 'For God
shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be 70
more death neither signing nor
crying neither shall there be any
more PAIN these things are not
done away vet for we see sorrow
pain sickness and death but there
will be place where the inhabll-
ants shall never say | am sick "

Ouigley sang The Christians
