ming up the life Of Mary Reading we find
that one dwelt among US who could have
no word of blame spoken against her
unless it should be that her life was toe
unselfish, that her service was too great
God felt that the time of her reward
had come. In the loss of her presence her
loved ones must feel that the glory of the
Christians life is now hers. that she walk s
with God, and that we must live so we
may meet her in the Kingdom where there
