W. since the decease of your be- loved wife we wish to extend to you our. sympathy in your loss of all losses the greatest, We feel deeply under this trial, as this is the first time death has entered our band. One of our most thorough business women has gone, always willing to take au active part in our meetings: • Among the most sincere mourners over her departure will be the poor, who have been secretly helped by a benificience undis- covered by the world. Well do We remember her testimony in the class meeting, "coward and upward" was her motto. As we call the roll to -day her voice is silent, but thank God, we believe she is answering the roll call in Heaven. We realize our loss sinks into insigni6• ante in comparison With yours, and that of those precious motherless children wase she so reluctantly left in a cold word, miff— Out a mother's cousel an.1 sympathy to gtifc and cheer, We commend you to "Out' Fearing Cni - er" who pities as man cannot, who has ee-it he will be a father to the fatherless etc. Your dearest earthly tie is only trams,. planted from earth to heaven, and tete.: beckoning hands is calling the dear nsi. home. Our prayer .is that the same spirit, vizi_e sustained our sister in the trying hour ed death, may (as it has so often before) your portion. Home is not home for Mother's not the., Angels have taken her nut of our care; Dark is her room and empty iter chair, She's gone to that home so paceful and t;<ar Will she remember the ones she carrezesi:,, Wept over, laughed over, hushed ea breast, With her glad lullabies into sweet rest, Thy heart dear mother will ever be bleg'xi. Sleep my dear wife sleep, thy toils are ern, Sweet be thy rest so oft needless befmr We'll have we loved you but God loved y.TAr: more, He's cal led thee away to that bight hiIxJ' shore. Mrs. D.
