in Memory Of the Late Mrs.
NJ. E. Moore.

following report of the memorial
services held at Trinity Sunday
School, Charleston, S. c., Sept.
Is, 1908, in honor of their la
mented daughter, Mrs. n. E.
Moore, who died in that city on
the 10Th inst.
There enterd our Sunday
School room only few months
ago, q young couple from anoth.

took their seats with US. After
the opening exercises, they were
approached by our superinten-
dent and asked to connect them
selves with our school they
readily complied for they had
come for that purpose, The hus-
baud Joined DR.. Daniels class,
the young wife, Miss Fannie
Davies class. We we're impress

manner, her smiling face, her
attention, and her evident de-

years of age) we could not but
be impressed with that fact up.
on conversing with her. Her
heart had been given to the Sa-
viour, and she was in His blessed
Keep!ng-there alone are we
safe and secure-ready to live,
ready to depart and be with
Him.
Time has rolled on from the
first afternoon she came among
us Her place in the class was
occupied whenever her health
would permit, for she was not
robust, not in perfect health. We
are persuaded that she caIhe to
God S House, at times when she
was suffering pain. She is an
example to US to try to be at our
post of duty if we can possibly
be there.
But the time came when the
frail casKet which contained her
IMMORTAL spirit was so racKed
with pain IS to be unable to bear
up against it; the time came
when she was called by her low
ing Lord to yield up the life
which He had given, but our
friend was not afraid. The Sa-
vior IN whom she trusted did not
desert her, He stood by her, and
she peacefully surrendered her
young life to Him, assured that
He would stand and help even
through the "Valley of the
Shadow She passed from
ear.h to heaven since last Sun
day, and is beyond the power of
death now, free from all her
pain and suffering, "safe in the
arms OF Jesus, safe on His low
ing breast"
SO they come to us and thus
they leave us. We feel sorry to
lose young Mrs. Moore. Our
school has lost, but our loss
is to her eternal gain. Death is
ever bearing away the fresh and
fair and beautiful ones of earth,
leaving hearts bleeding and
homes desolate.
Apart from the religion of
Christ there is no light, but the
Word Of God lights the lamps of
true consolation in the gloom of
Christian sorrow. May we all,
young, middle aged and of ma
ture years, learn lessons from
what we see around us. May
the young of school take heed
"the aged must debut the
young may die Let US all so
live, that as we leave the loved
ones here below, we may rejoin
them amoog the glorified host OF
the saved In heaven. But while
here, we have it in our power
to put untold gladness and help
into the lives that every day
touch ours. Let us learn this
lesson Of divine service.
We desire to express as
School our sincere sympathy to
her husband and all of her rela-
tives who mourn for her. Nav
