 The death of Mrs. Woodbridge is pe- culiarly sad. On the very threshold of life, with all of it laden with it's rich promises before her, to be thus cut down by the Grim Reaper is a seeming disposition of Providence, hard to un- erstand-indeed, too mysterious for finite minds and human hearts sen sate with love to fathom. Time alone
 can lessen-not heal-the anguish, and eternity alone can clear the inex- plicable mysteries of detah Mrs. Woodbridge was a beautiful character a jewel in the home circle a ia vorite in the church and social circle. Outstretched hands of sympathy are extended to the bereaved in this stricken home by the entire commun- ity.
