DEAR TtAouan AND FIIIEND,—Hearing,
with aineere regret, of your intended de-
parture from' our midst we have some
together as a Sabbath school to bid you
farewell, Ae a teacher you have endear-
ed youreelf to your oleos in a way that
will not soon be forgotten. In your un-
tiring zeal in all your work of the Bab.

time and means unstintingly. Possessed,.
as you are of eo many of those excellent
qualitiee that form the worth of a tree
lady you have won and held the oon.
fidenoe and esteem of those with whom
you have dome in contact. Your• un.
officious manner of performing the duties
whiob were yours as teacher, organist
and leader in the singing ebowed us that
you bad a higher ambition than the
praise of men. Your reward will be from
Him whose the work ie. Ae a alight re•

warmly cherished by her. Her oonueo-

been a source of pleasure and inestimable
benefit to her. Eepeoially was the fact
emphasized that while engaged in the
primary olase room, endeavoring to teaoh
the girls and boys committed to her
charge, she had herself reoeived lasting

many warm friende in Morrie, some of
whom visited her in her abort illneee
and all deeply regrether early demise.
While here she was a member of the
Methodist church atBrowntown and her

ing remembrance her kindness while
among them and her quiet resignation to
the will of her Heavenly Father dnring
her illneee. The funeral took plana on

parents and family have the deep and
einoere sympathy of a large oirole of
friende in Morrie, in their bereavment.
"And now at last the journey's o'er,
Her feet have pressed the golden shore,
What blies to sing Ebro' endless days
The Savior's love, the Savior's preiee."
