In MEM0RIAM I
MRS. JENNIE CAVE WARMER,


formerly Of Woodstock, Virginia.
The Minister of the Gospel has to
deal much with death. BE ought tc
be q serious man, even II he is not
And yet a man well acquainted with
peace, "sweet peace, the gift Of Gods
love-" peace "the antidote OF death .
He knows not whose obituary he Will
write next; nor indeed, whether some
one else will not next write his own!
But II peace be the portion here, OF
the one he is to write about, the PEN
sive task is yet a pleasant one, for be
knows that she has but passed on up
to still more perfect peace.
And few have been more disciplined
in this life to enjoy the perfect peace
above, than the one to whom we dedl-
cate these words. For she was suf-
ferer. Many of her fifty-four years OF
life, were passed in pain! A frail body
and a chastened spirit: that wss her
lifes epitome-
"she asked for faith strong yet
simple
He permitted the dark clouds TO come
But she staggered by faith through
the darkness
TIL she heard the sweet Master
well done.
Oyer twenty years ago, Mrs. Warner
lor, "AIiss Jennie" as she was so
generally called) lived in Woodstock,
with her parents. Her name and that
of hersister, "Miss Molly" still stand
on the church roll here. Miss Jennie
changed her church relationship, in
her later days, but ''her name is still
there;" through sort OF affectionate
neglect; tribute really, to the esteem
in which she was always held hero.
But now-''her name is written In
heaven, among the names OF those
who see their Saviour 'face TO face!"
crest tired feet, Oh rest
Earth's journey now IS done,
And pilgrims lose their load,
At set OF crimson snn!'
She had in later days, two favor,te
resting places in this life! One, was
the home of her kinswoman, Mrs. NJ.
K. Price, near New Market Station IN
this county. There, size was a tre-
ouent and much priced visitor: and
there It was, the writer learned to
know and value her for her gentle
spirit her christian character AID
conversation, her devotion TO divine
and public worship and to the preach
ed word. Her other resting place was
her brothers home, in GAINESVILLE,
Va, Mr.. Macon Caves! There she
was. wher the summons came to as
cend 10 her place In the Home above.
the eternal Home, her ELDER 9rother"
had prepared for her. Another
brother Sin the 1esh," the Rev. DR..
William Cave of Paducah, failed to
reach her in time; but the Brother
Above was there. For has lie not
said it? Though thou walk through
the Valley OF the Shadow OF Death, |
will be with thee?" Her mother, a
friend writes me, twas before mar
riage Miss Ann Roads, a lovely
christian character" a woman OF
"ceaseless prayer" Who can doubt,
she was waiting to welcome her: "be-
yond the pearly gates" Ourloyely re-
ligion not only tells US plainly there
another life: but fills Our souls with
comfort and compensation, even here,
In such a case as is before us now:
ga sleep in Jesus is indeed, blessed
Sleep Let us believe 1t, more hrm.
| ly let US "lay hold OF Eternal Life!"
"Now the laborers task is done,
Now the battle day Is past,
Now upon the farther shore,
Lands the voyager at last.
Father in thy gracious keeping =,
Leave we now thy servant sleeping
"There the sinful souls that turned
To the cross their dying eyes
IN the love oi Christ shall learn
At His feet in Paradise
Father in thy gracious keeping >.
Leave we now thine handmal'
sleeping.
