But the mourn not US those who have

BLESSED are they who die In the
Lord" She obeyed the gospel sew.
eral years ago and united with the
Christian church at Warrington and
has since then lived an exemplary
life. She was tireless worker
in the church, Sunday school and
other church societies as long as her
health permitted her to work but her
voice is hushed in death until the
Lord himself shall descend from
Heaven with shout, with the voice
OF the archangel and with the trump
Of God, and the dead in Christ shall
rise first" and her voice will be heard
swectly singing the praises Of our
Saviour who hath delivered her from
the power OF darkness and has trans.
lated her into the kingdom of the Lord
Jesus Christ.

dcplore thee; since God was thy ran.
som, thy guardian, thy guide, He gave
thee. He took thee and He will restore
thee and death has no sting since the
Savior has died" Dear Sister, we
cannot forget You because you left
behind you sweet fragrance that
reminds US OF the "Rosc OF Sharon"
You are helping US to look upward,
through you We have been led TO
see God better than ever, good works
help us 10 glorfy him more and more
These are not idle words, sister, we
have all been deeply touched by your
devotion TO the work at Huntington
We miss you, what more can we say?
Your personal work, constant attend
ance, and splendid giving did great
things for the work here. We do
deeply appreciate what you have done,
our hearts have been bleeding to-
gether because of your trials which
are many, affections seem to hang
heavy over you. We have been help
cd in our thought for you becdusc OF
your great Christian faith. We know
that you have not forgotten that for
such Shristaint us you STARS shine
IN the darkest night" wines are bet
ter for the bleeding" Gold brighter
for securing" SO with us heavy af-
tiictions are the best bcncfactors to
heavenly affections, difficulties are
Gods errands; this is compliment
from God to the traveller who goes
around the world preparing himself
10 pass trough all ATTITUDES and to
meet all changes.
So, sister, we must be willing to
take life as it comes, to mount the
hill when the hill swels, to 60 down
when the hill lowers, to walk the
plains when 1t stretches before us.
Il can do all things through Christ
which strengthneth me-" Whom the
Lord loveth He chasteneth, and II we
endure the Christening, God dealeth
with us us with sons and daughters"
What n lesson you have been to us
In your sorrow. Like David of old
you have sung with thee most touch
Ing tenderness when in the gloom Of
deepest Affections. There Is no need
TO remind you that Christ Is our ref.
uge and a very present help in the
time OF need. We pray that you may
return TO us strong and more capable
that ever. If this is not his will may
VIC all be patient and faithful till
God sees fit TO cause us to meet in
the land beyond the blue when your
will be ours and we will he yours
and we will all be Christ's forever.
My child, you must not see, Christ
only saw the destined cup of bitter
gall. No, child, he meckly took the
cup and knew that love and wisdom
mixed 1t all. o, Father, must II be?
