OBITUARY..

Despite the efforts of friends and rel
atives, who gave the closest attention
and tenderest nursing, the soul OF Mrs.
Lucy Blair, took its flight on January
2, 1907, and now rests with her Saviour
on the Beautiful shore.
Mrs. Blair was the daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. Abraham Strange, OF the
Glensford country, and the wife OF Mr..
r. A. Blair, who preceded her to the
grave.
Her Christian life was beautiful from
its beginning to its close, and through
all the vicissitudes and sorrows that
she met in the way. her faith in God
never wavered.
From her neighbors whom she loved
so well, day after day went up the
silent prayer.
s.Not here. o Death, not here,
Is there no other flower for thee to
take!
Ali the world is thine, and for It's sake
! Oh! come not here"
HBut, alas, death loves SHINING
ark"-and so it came.
A NIECE, U. D. G.
