Departed this life on Tuesday, May 15, at her res
idence in Chambers Cos., Ala., sister NANCY PARR,
consort of brother Jeremiah Parr, in the 54th year
of her age. In the demise of this sister, there is as
sociated with it an unusual peculiarity. Her hus
band had been at work in the plantation cn the
evening of this fatal occurrence, when seeing a dark
and lowering cloud approaching, and threatening
soon to burst in torrents over his head, he set off for
home, and in hurrying on his animal, it became exci
ted, and throwing him to the ground so much shock
ed and injured him, as to render him unable to either
got up, or attain his house, whereupon his anxious
family hearing his wailings, immediately rushed to
his asistance, and vainly made efforts to rescue him
from the pelting storm. Among them was his wife
the subject of this memoir, who had for several years
been afflicted with a disease about the heart, but up
to the time of this sad occurrence had enjoyed usual
health. Amid torrents of rain and hail, they all
toiled in vain to remove her husband, when very
suddenly, as if wholly exhausted, she sank into the
arms of a neighbor lady, who was endeavoring to aid
in their distresses, and expired in a few moments. —
Here then was an appalling sight. The husband
unable to move himself, and so much injured as to
scarcely allow himself to be moved, and his loving
companion who but a few moments previous had la
bored so faithfully to aid and administer to her hus
band's distresses, now gasping in the icy arms of
death, both lying together on the ground, unshelter
ed from the pelting storm of rain and hail; and were
not removed until the cloud was over, which continu
ed pouring down upon these uncovered victims for
more than an hour.
In the death of our sister, the church at Mt Pis
gah has sustained the loss of a consistent member—
the vicinity a good neighbor, and her now afflicted
and bereaved husband and children an irreparable
loss. Yet why need any mourn, when we have left
with us the testimony that our loss is her eternal
gain. A: BROTHER.
The true Light.
Is thy heart athirst to know
That the King of heaven and earth
Designs to dwell with man below,
Yea. hath stooped to mortal birth ?
Search the word with ceaseless care,
Till thou find this treasure there.
With the sages from afar
Journey o‘er sea and land,
Till thou see the morning star
o,er thyheart unchanging stand
Then shalt thou behold his face
Full of mercy tmth and grace.
For if Christ he horn within,
Soon that likeness shall appear
Which the heart had lost through sin
God’s own image fair and clear;
And the soul serene and bright,
Mirror forth his heavenly light,
Jesus let me seek for nought
But that thou shouldst dwell with me ;
Let this only fill my thought,
Through this earthly cave and strife,
Through the calm eternal life.
W ith the wise who know the right,
Though the world accounts them fools,
I will praise Thee day and night,
I will order by Thy rales
All my life, that it may be
Filled with praise and love to Thee,
SOUTHERN BAPTIST MESSENGER.
