Rev. J. II. Burks, eX-pastor OF the

pastoring a church in Braddock, Pa.
When Rev. Burks was in the city
about one month prior to the death
of Mrs. Jennie Brooks, she informed
him that she desired him to preach
her funeral. He refused to- agree
with her as to the nearness Of the
approaching end. But as any sympa-
thetic Christian pastor Will do, found
another subject which might be dis
cussed with less sadness and more
sunshine. But as Sister Brooks had
been In close communion with the
Master and stayed close by His side
day by day, the Lord had shown her
that which would soon come to pass
In her life, and she gave notice to
her beloved pastor while she was in
position to direct him what her
wishes were, and according to her re-
quest, In less than thirty days Rev.
j. II. Burks received the sad intelli-
gence by wire that Sister Brooks had
passed away, and he was reminded
of that duty enjoined on him by re-
quest Of the deceased. The church

loving mother, society strong advo-
cate. But what must 1t be to be
where eternal peace and happiness
Is to the Faithful Soldier.
