On the 18th of October, 1919, Miss

recent removal of her parents to Saw
age, she and her husband took up
their residence with them where after
brief illness of nine days, she died
OF pneumonia.
A few days before the end came,
she seemed positive that she would
not larry much longer on earth. Call
Ing her husband to her side, she said,
am going to see father and mother
in about week" Upon being told
tn at they were here and that she was
living with them, she affirmed that
they were not where she was going,
and that she was going there to stay.
On the morning of Saturday, Feb

much bodily suffering, the family and
her husband we're called to the bed

[ must leave you all. Don't worry;

Are you happy? she answered Eyes"
After this she lapsed into unconscious
ness from which she rallied about
noon at Saturday, February It'll and
enjoyed a number of lucid hours. Dur
ing this conscious interval, the I'M
dersigned spent some time in the room
remarking at her solicitude for the
comfort Of ourselves even while she
fought for breath and was convulsed
with pain. Patting her weeping faith
er's face, she said, "Don't cry Papa"

word, such as THE Lord is my Shep-
herd" psalm 23); Gle was wounded
for our transgressions" lisa. $3.50.

are many mansions John II, to 81.
Then | asked if she was prepared to
stay here, or to go yonder, just as the
Lord willed IT, she replieI "Aes the |
only regret l have is that must leave !
Papa and Mamma, my husband and
Others She showed confidence con-
corning the journey she has taken TO
the other shore. Later on she entered
into conversation with her neighbor
and nurse Mrs. Sherman) and said,
| am in a pretty velvet house, which
is trimmed with the loveliest white
goods | ever saw; it is the prettiest
home was ever in. Upon being in
formed that she was already al home,
she said, No, we are not at home we
never lived in as pretty place as
this | am going to Jesus"
a little later she Iapsed into uncon-
sclOusness which was scarcely broken
when she clasped her husband around
the neck and called his name. She
passed on.
God hath taught US ia His Holy
" ord not to sorrow, as those without
hope. Christ is the resurrection and
the life, and we who live (if we now be-
lieve) shall not die eternally when we,
too, pass on. Let us therefore exer-
else saving faith in the Lord Jesus
and be raised from the death of sin
unto life OF righteousness, that when
we shall depart this life we may rest
in Him; and That, at the resurrection
we may be among the acceptable ones
the bloodwashed children of Cody to
whom shall be given bodies of ever
lasting glory.
