IN MEM OKI AM.
How uncertain is Life! How sure,
swift and remorseless is Death! So
the death legends of the ancients pictured
as a monster astride .his pale
charger bearing away alike the young
and old; wise and foolish; the good;
the had. Gome when he may his
advent is generally unwelcome. Be¬
strewn as the.ieartb is with the wrecks
of blighted hopes; beset as it is with
corroding,cures and trials and dis¬
appointments-—yea, though our joys
are mixed with sorrow here, yet this
earth is beautiful and pleasant and
delightful. Deny it who may the
soul ne’er forsakes its earthly tern -
meat without an instinctive shrinking
back. Yet (blessed thought), let us
re/iiember that it is “only the soul
taking flight” to the regions of fade¬
less jov. Here we “have no abiding
city” but o’er there, thank God. we
have a “building not ' made with
hands”-—a “city whose maker and
builder is God!”
These reflections came to the writer
as lie thought with saddened heart
on the death of Miss Emma Well
maker, which occurred May 11 while
on a visit to relatives in Alabama.
Just a little more than sixteen bright
sunshiny summers had passed by
since she first gladdened her home.
Front her infancy 1 had known her.
When not more than six years she
became a pupil in a school taught by
the writer. Bright, winsome and
sunshiny her mission seemed to glad¬
den every circle in which she moved.
A general favorite at school and in
society she was idolized at home. A
more dutiful child never lived. In¬
deed her last rational act was to
write But a Emma loving message to her mother.
was a Christian. Never
can J forget when in early youth she
gave her heart to God; her bright
and convincing relation of her expe¬
rience of grace; the joyous look
when she walked down into the
watery grave beside her gray-haired
pastor and put on Christ in baptism;
and last but not least, her consistent
godly than walk! Blessed lieirage! Bet¬
ter Golobnda’s mines—than
Opliir’s wealth is this memory to
stricken ones.
Her funeral was preached by Rev.
John Hogan and was largel y attended.
Though she breathed her last iar
away from loved ones; with no
mother’s hand to cool the fervid
brow; with no sister’s gentle caress
to re-assure her as she stood upon
the dark, dark stream; to hear no
murmured tearful farewells from
loved lips; yet loving hands laid her
1 quietly yard to rest in the old church
near the resting place of loved
ones gone before.
When she sweetly sleeps that
dreamless sleep to an awakening on
the glad resurrection morn—till
then, adieu!
‘•They have not perished—no!
Kind words, remembered voices once so sweet;
Smiles radiant Ion# ago;
And features*—the great souls apparent sent;
AH shall come back, each tic
of pure affection shall be knit again—
Alone shall evil die
And sorrow dwell a prisoner in thy reign.*’
