Mysterious, indeed, is the Providence that re
moved so beautiful and dutiful a daughter.
Never waiting, but always making an opportu
nity to love, serve and reverence her aged pa
rents. Alike, as a sister and confiding friend,
her love could find no limits. Her faithfulness
and constancy found her perpetually wearing,
with exquisite tenderness, around her husband,
all those delicate attributes which adorn and
beautify the wile and makes home the most at
tractive spot on earth. But all these rai-e com
binations in her lovely diameter were reflected
with the greater intensity, while we see her sur
rounded by her dear little tender lambs, perform
ing that labor of love which alone a mother can
render, and none hut these can tell how tender
ly she loved them. Her iife a living prayer, so
beautifully commenced on earth, will continue
and reach its completion in /leaven. Thus,
quicklv has our dear Lord and Master taken
from our community and family its choicest
flower, and carried it triumphantly to llis glori
ous and everlasting Kingdom there to realize
the immortality of //is boundless iove and en
joy the uncorrupting pleasures //e has promised
all His children.
“Not in resting, Rest doth lie—
Stretch thy wings, my soul, and fly,
Not in resting, Rest doth lie I”
“Hie thee, till on ihv streaming eves
The nearly g tes of Heaven shine ; ,
Stride on, till thy anxious feet
The city’s golden streets have trod :
Speed, speed, till thy wings is bathed
In the crystal river of the throne,
Run, till at thy Saviors feet, •
Thy victory won, thy work complete,
Thy life is swallowed up in light,
Then rest my soul, rest evermore ”
