The pulpit was graced with nine

The following are the preamble
and resolutions in memory of Miss
Lizzie b. Osborne:
In obedience to the will OF God we
bow, for where it has pleased the
Almighty God in His wise provi-
dence to take from our midst, one so
grand, so noble. so jealous. so ear.
nest, so afilble and one loved and
held in high esteem by all who knew
her far and near.
notwithstanding the pain is great.
Yet. there Is one who can give ease
10 a trouble soul. Notwithstanding
her char ia the choir is vacant.
which pe~peaks.the sadness of the
hour. Yet we feel reassured she
filled her station in that angelic
choir in the realms above. Not
withdrawing her voice hushed in
this earthly choir, where angels and
arch angels are sending fourth the
sweet strains of their voices in the
heavenly anthems that are being re-
sounded for portal to portal, for we
imagine we can hear the glorious
anthem OF GLORY IN the highest,
glory Peace on earth, good will
to men,
We can say to Lizzie, sleep on.
"rest from thy labor for thy works
do follow thee.''
When we look upon the chair
which Lizzie has so long occupied as
leader of the choir and behold the
sad appearance. thereof. II tells us
that death has robbed il of it's occu :
pant. and left its vacant, her voice
is hushed in dead silence, and the
body Is confined to the narrow home.
There to retain until the final con-
Summation. We are aware If the fact
that we shall never more sit spell
bohd under the me,Sjious voice OF
the deceased and that we Will never
more look upon her face again in
this earthly chair, but let us remem-
Der. 1.-THE Lord giveth and the Lord
hath taken away, blessed be the
name OF the Lord"
We have the assurance of happy
home II we diligently serve the Lord.
Fer. though her hopes aud fears
NAV have been repressed and the
moral feelings of her heart stiffied
for a season, vet, nature like tor
rant, which has been ,obstructed,
ed, broke fourth, aud swept away
those fril barriers, which sketiclsm
had erected to divert its course aud
that spirit of devotion, that sense
of quiet and dreah made IT'S appear
ance and waited her soul far beyond
sun, moon, aud stars, here all is joy
and peace aud love.
Be 1t resolved, That we tend to
our beloved one the highest tribute
of respect.
Be IL further resolved, That copy
of the preamble and resolutions be
transmitted TO the family, as token
in part of the high esteem in which
she was held In the choir of which
she has been a member from child
hood.
Be it resolved further, That the
chair which she has occupieds so
long as leader of the chair, be drap-
ed for thirty days.
BE it still further resolved. That
the example as Jealous, earnest
and prompt worker for the church
be held high that those who are TO
follow, may take inspiration there
from, aud, that others may rise up
and the world may call them bless
ed.
