In March 1905. Sister Flowers was
taken with an acute disease. Skillful
and loving hands did all they could TO
during the months Of excruciating suf-

exemplary character. Were any in the
neighborhood needy, her liberal bounty
supplied their wants; were any distress.
ed and disconsolate, her sympathies
cheered and encouraged them; were any
sick and afflicted. her tenderness sooth-

She knew Him in whom she had believ-

1t was my privilege to be IN her home
good many times during her sickness,
and wher-I would ask her if all were
well. she would always answer ''Oh
yes" A short time before she died,
asked her il. she was ready to die, and
was she perfectly reconciled to the Lord,
she answered, "Obyes," and called her
loved ones to her bed and had them
promise tomeet her in heaven. 'Bless-
ed are the dead that die in the Lord -
Let me die the death OF the righteous
and let my last end be like His" Her
funeral was preached by her pastor,
August IS. at 2. w., irrthe Methodist
church, at Gradyville, to a large con-
gregation. A concourse of mourning
friends and acquaintances attested by
their tears and regrets how much they
valued her, but ali were satisfied from
her death, not less than her lite, that
she is now in paradise with angels in
Immortality nd'Heaven. May the God
of grace and consolation comfort the
lonely husband and weeping children,
sorrowing mother. sisters and brothers.
May we all meet Sister Flowers in
Heaven.
