A Tribute to Miss Alice Salter.

Miss Alice Salter died at the
home of her brother, Mr.. Pierce
Salter, September the 18th and was
laid to rest in the beautiful ceme-
terry at Ebenezer church, Trenton.
The funeral service was conducted
by her pastor, Rev. G. L. Knight,
in the presence of concourse Of
relatives and friends. The floral
offerings were numerous and beauti.
full. Miss Alice was converted and
united with the Baptist church at
Ebenezer when a young girl, and If
her character could be set forth in
one phrase, that phrase would be
faithful unto death. +" Her faith
sustained her when she came to the
end of the journey. She suffered a
physical decline for more than four
months, during which time she
leaned confidently and comfortably
upon the sustaining grace of God,
and died in the faith, and in the
joyous anticipation of a glorious
immortality. She was woman of
high Christian character, she stood
for her church and loved it's doc
trine, but she was broad and liberal
in her views; she carried with her
daily living faith in a loving
Christ, and made Gods word the
man of her counsel and the guide of
her life. Miss Alice was lovely
woman possessing a magnetic ma
ture, made so by the fullness of
the Christ spirit within. The sweet
ness of her life touched all hearts
and Won all she met. 1t is hard to
express an estimate of this quiet,
true woman. This beautifully de-
veloped flower from earth's garden
to be transferred to its specially pre-
plred vase in the storehouse of
heaven. She suffered much, but she
had an abiding faith and a sweet
hope. She was rich in the currency
of heaven, and dying, left behind
her the sweet fragrance of a pure
life, and she met her pilot face to
face at the crossing, and finished
her course with joy, and is now
where she can see the King in His
beauty, and where the inhabitants
shall never say I am sick" May the
happy vision that so charmed the
sweet singer of Israel" rest as
benediction upon the memory of
Miss Alice Salter forever. How she
will be missed in the home, in the
church and community, words can't
tell it. There is a chair vacant that
can never be filled. Her sweet sa-
cred dust will sleep beneath the
cedar and the pine at Ebenezer un-
til the trumpet shall sound in that
morning. From afar salute my de-
parted friend, who still lives in my
heart, who still inspires my life.
May Gods comforting grace be
sufficient for each one of the family
in this sad hour.
