Miss Hill was a woman of but few words, but she was a living epistle. She was always ready for any gond work or word. She took a deep interest in every de- partment of church work ; she was an efficient member of the League, also a teacher in the Sunday school for many years. In revival work she was always active, zealous and efficient; in the prayer meeting, class meeting or love feast she Was ever prompt to do her part, and when able to attend to these duties and means of grace; her place was seldom vacant in the church, and in the community she was a bright and shining light. Her last illness was brief, but'she was ready. When informed that she might not recover shesaid, "It's all right," Sister Hill is gone, but her life will not soon be for- gotten and her influence for good will long be felt in the community, taut more especially by those who knew her best. The funeral took place on Saturday afternoon from her brother's residence to the Fairfield cemetery and was largely attended by all her sorrowing friends and acquaintances. Rev. S Salton preached the funeral sermon on Sunday evening, in the presence of a large congreeation, who were moved to tears at his very forci- ble and touching remarks upon the deceased, whose calm, trustful and prayerful spirit gave abundant evi- dence that she was ready when the call came to enter into that eternal home that our Heavenly Father has promised to those who love Him. May ea all live so that we may meet her again when we shall never say fare- well. The remaining sisters and broth - era have the heartfelt sympathy of the itin thisthe y hour of their bereavement. The followinglines were written on the death of Miss Hill All the loving links that bind us, While the days are going by; One by one we leave behind us, While the days are going by.
