whether we live, we live unto the
Lord; and whether we die we die unto
the Lord; whether we live therefore,
or die, we are the Lords"
From the bit of biography given, we
discover that sister Pyle Was in her sew.
enty-ffth year. This strikes some of
US almost as surprise. for her heart
never petrified She impressed me as
one who was always glad in the joys of
others as she was sad in their sorrows.
Her presence in the hOne was always
benediction to all. The sacredness of
the home obligations TRANSPORTED such
a character as hers. All the radial in
fluences of her pure life will only be the
stronger for being anchored in the
home. Too many women fail to appre-
ciate that the home is the greatest
earthly throne of power. Not so with
our departed Master of Israel. While
it was not mine to know all the years
of the life of our deceased sister, yet,
somehow these years frame themselves
into beautiful picture before my WIS.,
ion. l see "a green spring time, ma
turing summer and golden autumn"
The ripened fruit needed nothing but
breath to drop it into the bin of
heaven from life's bough. Surely was.
her life rosy dawn, cloudless climb
to zenith, tranquil decline and
Light at eventide." To those who
knew her Intimately was to be admit
ted into life both serene and beauti-
full. pure in heart" she imaged her
blessed Savior who pronounced her
blessed. She has seen God. Not a
perfect life-none are perfect
1t is not so difficult to assent to the
Providence that removes a life after
seventy four years of such splendid
service! And even now, who will say
that she is gone! o, know that your
lonely hearts say she is gone-yet. she
stays, having transfused so much of
her own sweetness and faith in Christ
to so many other lives. For hers was a
large, rich stainless soul, exuberant in
sweetness and power. She made the
world much richer to those who knew
her, and now heaven is made much
richer to those who hope to meet her
again. To the bereaved, who belong to
this inner circle, commend to you her
God and Father for needed comfort. l
commend to you the faith-loving which
crowned her life with undying glory.
She loved her Bible-it was her daily
mama. In the Bible of God it is writ
ten; Jesus saith unto her | am the
resurrection and the life, he that be-
lieveth on me the he die, yet shall he
live again, and whatsoever liveth and
believeth on me shall never die" And
in the Bible of the Heart it is also
written that the lifeless form shall
pulse again with being, the curtained
eyes shall see the King in His beauty,
the unreplying lips shall move in joy
fulness; the tuneless tongue shall
weave our names in friendships hottest
forms; the gentle arms shall enfold and
lifeful hands enclothe us in the. linger-
pg livery of heaven. Yes, love. will
flower beyond the sky andit perfume
will be eternally breathed into the soul.
l am so glad tibet mother Pyle lives,
and that we knew her. l do rejoice
that she lives again! Live on sweet
mother, deathless and forever.
She is not dead, but only lieth sleeping
In the sweet refuge of her Masters
breast,
And far away from sorrow, toll and
weeping
She is not dead, but only taking rest.
o, glorious end of life's short day of
sadness,
o blessed course so we'll and nobly
o home of true and everlasting glad
ness,
crown unfading! and so surely won
Tho tears will fall we bless Thee, o
, Our Father,
For the dear one forever with the
, blest,
And wait the Easter dawn when Thou
shalt gather
Thine own, long parted, to their end
less rest.
Unto Him that loved us, and wash
ed us from our sins in his own blood
End hath made US Kings and Priests
unto God. His Father: to Him be glory
and dominion forever and ever
Amen
