share in glory. l need not enforce with any words of mine the appro- priateness of these words over the still form of ner who lies before us She had made her holy dedication to Jesus in llis temple and before the people. She had already taken the cup of salvation and was a humble disciple of the Lowly One. With hei this profession was not tissue oi pretention, but rather genuine ex' pression of life. In the calm depths of her being the Lord had his throne and if she was less active in the young element of the church it has it's true explanation in those words of Paul "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak"
 Now what was the conclusion tc which John arrived after he said Blessed are they that have come out of great tribulation and have washed theinr robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb" This is his conclusion, therefore are they before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in his temple. They have put on their crown Of i'm mortality. They have entered al ready into the joy of their Lord. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst. With them there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away and God has wiped away all tears from their eyes" My friends, Mildred Wanzer Emmons is in that heavenly company. What we see of her here is only the house she lived in these IS years. What IS really she has flown to higher spheres but there is left behind the fragrance of a pure and Christlike life. Ma tured much beyond what her age would warrant; happy and cheerful by nature; even of disposition; won derfully appreciative of any little oft or kindness and able to get be- hind the gift or deed and see the love that prompted; and this became the real treasure to her exceedingly thoughtful of others even from lit tie child; growing into a domestic nature and becoming a companion now in the family; but above these interests of earth, possessing a vital concern in the life's best things, this child of God has run her race of life. Some of us remember with especial pleasure her musical accomplish ments and her performance last June in the school across the way. It gave us all so much pride in her and maue us to hope that the skill of her fingers would be no little asset in this town and to the church to which she belonged. The music of her hand we will never hear again; that has lied out forever. But a finer har- mony than this still remains with and will not be forgotten, and that is he music of her pure and stainless md Christ filled life. Let us be thankful for her brief life among us md in her death let us not be bitter )r rebel. Let us say lowing in sub mission and resignation to the will ,f the Fat1 CT, "The Lord gave and he Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord" Friends, as we sit here on this quiet Sabbath after loon, confronted by life's great event -death-whose issues are to be de- ,ermined by our own moral conduct we may well turn our tnouFht upor ,u rsel"es and enquire about our own piritual condition. linear you say this S such an untimely death! We can lot tell the day nor the hour when he Son of Man cometh. Our times ire in his hand, and we may well i've so that any day we might say what this youthful one said when at asst the dim consciousness began to lawn and she began to be aware that hls might be the last sickness. "l To so want to live, but if must die, am not afraid to go." We are here n safety to-day, but tomorrow or t any rate soon, the messenger Will all at your home and say Come" fay that day when it come find us eady and in the spirit of these lines; As I stand by the cross on the lone
 mountains crest,
 Looking over the ultimate sea, n the gloom of the mountain a snip
 lies at rest,
 And one sails away from the lea. he spreads it's white wings on
 far-reaching track,
 With pennant and sheet flowing
 free;
 me hides in the shallow with sails
 laid aback,
 The ship that is waiting for me! ut To, in the distance the clouds
 break away!
 The Gates glowing portals l see; nd I hear from the outgoing ship
 in the bay
 The song of the sailors in glee; 0 I think of the luminous foot
 prints that bore
 The comforts OCT dark Galilee, nd wait for the signal to go to the
 shore,
 To the ship that is waiting for
 me-"
