ceive such a shock as did this one
when on last Friday morning the
news was flashed over the Garden

is unknown. The Lord, in His wise
Providence, saw fit to call her from
this world to join the company of
friends and loved ones who had gone
before. While her death is a great
sorrow to her loved ones left behind,
yet it should be warning to all to
be ready, ''For in such an hour as
ye think not the Son of Man cometh. 4"
