MISS JULIA E. BYRNE.
Seldom Is the community more shock
ed than was the case on Thursday
morning of last week, when the word
went out of the death of this good lady,
at the home of Mr.. ard Mrs. Benz. H.
Sincell, where she found q good home
for the last twelve or more years. The
lines had fallen unto her in pleasant
places and she had all the care and
thoughtful attention that is included in
a Christian home. She was smittsn with
paralysis at the dinner table on Wednes-
day evening and in a few minutes,
passed into Inconsistencies to awaken
in the presence os her Saviour, to be
hold the King in His beauty"
From the church militant she passed
into the church triumphant. She was
member of the Presbyterian church,
being one of the charter members Of
the Kingwood church, where the last
rites over her body were held on Satur-
day last, and from which her body was
carried to its final resting place among
her kindred and friends. The services
here were held at the home of Mr.
Sincell and were conducted by Revs.
Ely, Wicker and Shultz. A goodly
congregation Of friends gathered to pay
their last respects to the memory of
the departed.
The sadness consists in the fact that
we shall see her face no more in the
flesh. She heard the call and respond
ed. and is with the redeemed at rest.
What prospect is the believers, In
Christ by faith, there follows service,
with its appropriate reward hereafter,
not at death, but when Jesus comes.
At the marriage supper Of the Lamb,
then coming with him, their glorious
leader, and mighty conqueror, to es-
tablish HIS Kingdom of righteousness
and peace and reign with Him during
the mllemial glory. If we would but
realize the possibilities of the future
for the Christian methinks, none would
be-@illlng to live day without accept
ing Christ as Saviour and KING, and so
sharing with Him His glories. Only for
those united to Christ are the mansions
prepared. Into this blessedness we
can think of our friend having entered.
"She has passed away,
Like gentle breath
And her eyes are closed with the sleep of
death.
The leaves on the trees will futter and
fall.
And the drifting snow will cover all,
But she will peaceful calmly rest,
Forever happy, by angels blest.
"She has passed away,
But her sweet good will
Like a fragrant oder fingers still;
The tender lesson that memory brings
The mantle of patience Ger US filings,
We learn TO follow the path she trod.
To be more like her who has gone to
God.
Beyond the smiling and the weaping
shall be soon;
Beyond the waking and the sleeping,
Beyond the sowing and the reaping
| shall be soon
Love, rest and home!
Sweet home!
Lord, tarry not, but come"
