Smith. 1t was a memorial sermon upon
the death of MRS. Sarah B. Ives,
prominent member of the church for
many years and well known religious
worker.
Mr.. Smith took for his text the words
in Philippians, For to me ii live is
Christ and to die is gain" He said in
part:
"St. Paul believed that Christianity
was all gain to the man who sincerely
lived it out. That every loss and trial
which may come to US and even grim
death itself, issue In victory, happiness
and the life triumphant. 1t is a re-
markable philosophy, only possible to
the men who can honestly say, for me
to live is Christ, and who has Christ as
the source Of his being, Christian SER
vice as the occupation Of his life and
Christlikeness as his eternal ideal.
Il believe that these words express
the purpose and the result of the life
of our honored sister, Mrs Sarah B.
Ives, for many years devoted member
Of this church and for more than fifty
years an angel of mercy to the poor
and the outcasts Of this community
Her sudden death last Monday, July Is.
came as a great shock to US all. The
loss to this church and neighborhood is
irreparable and yet we feel that our
loss is her gain, that her life is not
ended. that she is not dead but alive
forevermore in heaven, serving the
Saviour she loved to proclaim while
here on earth. She was a practical
Christian and had learned to perfection
the art of being kind, to those who sin
and suffer. A gentleman outside this
church told me last week that she
| lived in this district for a half century
and that no one has rendered a con-
tinual and cheerful service to the needy
| to equal that of our departed sister.
/ Her service was given noiselessly and
in kindness, regardless of conditions or
creed, and there Is not a poor family
In Fair Haven but has been the recip-
/ ients of her bounty at some time during
these long years of her philanthropy
Her great aim was not merely to re
lieve pauperism and distress, but to up
| lift the soul, to raise the life and
| breathe inspiration and hope to the
| doWntrodden. She was loyal member
| Of the Kings Daughters circle, a mem
j Der Of the Y. NJ. g. A. auxiliary and the
main support of the Fair Haven dis
| trict Of w. G. T. u. Her life and infiu-
ence win live on forever. She speaks
from Heaven this morning to us who
remain to toll awhile longer. For me
to live Is Christ and to die is gain"
