Mrs. Nellie B. Moore was born in
ROseburg, Michigan. May 9th, 1877,
and died at Medford, Oregon, July 26th,
1908. Mrs. Moore was educated in the
High School of Stratford, Ont, where
her father was lOocated as L. =. Gus
tom House officer during her High
school days. After her fathers return
to Roseburg, Michigan, she was his as
Sistant in the merchantile business up
to the time of her marriage to Mr. Il. H.
Moore, July 18th, 1907. Her little baby
boy was born July 18th, 1908 and sur
wives his mother with good promise of
life. Mrs. Moore's life was that Of a
kind, gentle, unassuming christian
woman. She had not an enemy in the
world, and where she was best known
she was most beloved. Her presence
in our city was like the sunbeam that
comes without ostentation, gives its
blessing and benign influence and then
passes away. We are scarcely aware
that such life is in our midst until
it is gone forever. When she realized
that life was uncertain, her thoughts
were turned in two directions, first to
her little babe and her husband, and to
her friends on earth, and then to the
Lord Jesus, her redeemer, and the home
over yonder. She regarded herself as
belonging to the Lord but she had
never identified herself with any christ
ian church.
She wished to profess his Name, and
give her child to God in the ordinance
of christian baptism. Complying with
her request the pastor of the Presbyter-
ian church baptised her and admins
tered to her the Lords Supper, and in
her presence baptized her child in the
name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Ghost: and the session re-
ceived her and her child to membership
in the church OH last Saturday morning,
July 25th. Her thought was with her
child to the last and she was happy in
that she had commended it to God and
His church. AS she had given her life
for the child, she knew we'll that Christ
too had given his life for it. She was
rational to the last. She met life's last
foe like heroine.
Speaking calmly she said to her hus-
band-"So | can't stay. | wish that
you could go with me. The Lord is
near, | have visits with him. Thus
with an anxious heart for those she left
behind, but with her face towards the
gates standing wide ajar for her abund-
ant entrance into the glories of a
brighter world she bade adieu to all
things earthly; and she feared no evil
| for God was with her.
1T is not death to die
To leave this weary road,
And mid the brotherhood on high,
To be at home with God"
"Jesus, Thou Prince of life,
Thy chosen cannot diel
Like thee, they conquer in the strife
To reign with Thee on high"
