The text was Rev. XIV:13, "Bless-
ed are the dead which die in the
Lord; even so saith the spirit; for they
rest from their labors, and their
works do follow them" Also from
Proverbs XXXI:3O: ga woman that

blessed"
Mr.. Smith gave a very appropriate
address, speaking of the cares and
troubles of life, their chastening and
purifying effect and the resultant de-
velopment of Christian character.
The blessed hope of assurance which
sustain the Christian was emphasized,
the speaker illustrating this truth by
reference to its exemplifcation in the
life of the deceased. Those who have
loved the Lord and have passed on to
their reward now rest from their la
bors, blessed and deserved rest.
The work left unfinished by those
who have gone before should be taken
up and carried on to full fruition by
the members of the family that re-
main.
Referring in detail to the life of
Mrs. Hendry the speaker said, among
other things: "Easter Ann Hendry
was received in probation in the
Methodist Episcopal church of Sauk
Centre in September, 1875, by the then
pastor, Rev. L. Wright, the same man
receiving her into full communion
March 10, 1876 She had been an ac-
tive and acceptable member ever
since. For thirty-six years she knew
the comforts of the family life of the
church. She was an efficient and
faithful member of the Ladies' Aid
Society, and took great pleasure in
this branch of church work. She was
a regular attendant upon church SER
vices whenever her health and home
duties permitted. She never COM
planned but was always bright and
cheerful.
