Mrs. Sheldon was one OF the most
beautiful characters that was our
privilege to know. She was be-
| loved by all with whom she came
! in contact. She was vene rated for
her virtues as we'll as for her spirit
ual elevation. The qualities OF her
soul shone above every other grace.
She was the impersonation OF sym
pathy. Her heart was always filled
with gratitude, JOY and the graces OF
humility. Her influence was good
and refining. She was woman OF
great humanity. Her thoughts were
always going out to Others. The
interests of Christ's kingdom occu-
pied a large place in her heart. She
united with the First Baptist Churc h
at Burlington at the age OF 16, an q
since then has been a faithful and
consistent member. She, with her
husband, united with the First tE9n-
gregational Church at Ladysmiti a
little more than q year ago. WAen
possible she was found at the house
of God, an eager, attentive listener.
Physical infirmities prevented her
from taking a very active part in
church work, but she encouraged
those who could. She did her best
and we shall miss the influence OF her
strong, sweet life.
She peacefully passed away Sun

husband aud daughter to mourn her
loss.
