fact that consolation to hearts torn and
bleeding can soothe bnt little, we do .1
offer np our prayers to Him from whom
all blessings come, that the soul of her,
for whom our brothers mourn, freed
from earth's painful struggles and puri

joys of the blessed in Eterhity. Her
righteousness preceded her and the

Of her can it be truly said: With
friendship she wove her silken bonds; i
her charity breathed forth strains of

Living still beyond the tomb.”

is life and in its ways there is immortal
