REV ". l.. JENNINGS.
Oue passage ot Scripture has hren
forcing itself upon my mind the past
few days. aud these words seem to he
cmiueuth fitting at this time:
she Hath Done What She Could
In tins hour rf trial aud sorrow God
is oar help aud Gods word is our CON
fort. Deep gloom aud sorrow has set
tied down upon our little community.
and We are all mournerS today. Our
community is a suffering community
today. sympathy means to suffer with
another. aud today our hearts are hound
together 10y suffering. The shadows
h I'VE fallen upon ms. Now in this dark
hour there is hope, life beyond. Heaven
Jesus face can hr seen amid the shadows
and His voice heard. Those words that
were spoken 10 Ills suffering children in
the hour Of their need may be heard
todav---"let not your heart I've troubled
We believe in God believe also IN me
Let not your heart be troubled, neltheI
let it he afraid"
">he hath done what she could.
These words were true of our sister, an'
no urander words could form TIE sum
mary of any life. Her life was life o
loving service.
we live in decds not wears,
In thoughts not hrrath>,
Ii feelings not in figures on dial"
Our sister Hale lives today IN our love
she lives in Heaven.
In Bethany, at Simou'S home, leSu
vas at supper When woman came II
with an alabaster box. She broke tn
box aud poured her love, devotion an
alteration upon her Lord aud the RE
perfume filled the house. Our Slste
Hale has broken her alabaSter box sn
! has poured he: love, devotion and ador.
p ton upon her Lord many times aud I'll
! richness aud royalty OF her loving III
fills our hearts at thiS.ti
, We wonder why We are called on
part with those We love--those who al
So valuable to us here on earth. VIII
can't they stay with us? We don't kno
why. but in Gods great day we Sha
know why: now We must trust III God
. love, for lie doeth all things well.
Lunenhurg has met with great los
! 4 friend. one who Was interested III h
many friends aud We realize this toda
: our hearts ache also for the bere
T. family. The loss is great, the sorrow
d also great, and God is your help. o.
. church has also suffered great los
e We have lost one who ever had u
e interest OF our church at heart. TO h
the church was precious. She pray'
for us; she encouraged us; she was
II help to ms III every way. keeny '
e feel our loss today.
II During the last hours of our sister
II life she was brave and courageous. al
y she fought bravelS for life. 5. Pau
o words were true of her when he said :;
J. 81 have fought good fight, have ii
ished my course, have kept the faith
e She was brave, and during her last hou
{ no fear took possession of her. II
e. faith, her truSt in her God, which h!
N filled her life was her help in her time

"DOu't feel anxious about me"
y do not weep--Do not cry"
d Her life was life filled with love, al
ID during her last hours her love for h
Il dear family and for her God are sourc
! of comfort today. In those trying hou
Z when her pastor at Coaticook called,

III "She hath done what she could" {
