                                                      IN MEMORIAM
          "Peace to her ashes, and a happy deliverance of her soul from all the ills of life,
     and a joyous introduction into that higher circle of old and new friends that have
     gone before. She suffered patiently, may she enjoy richly." Thus spake (sic) one
     in reference to S. A. E., the deceased wife of C. P. Beckett. So, after wearisome
    days and months and years of decline that precious form, loved with no common
    love, and mourned with no common grief, once fresh and beautiful as the lily and
    the rose, now, sleeps sweetly;  and the spirit so pure and lovely in its character here,
    now, we trust perfected through suffering, blooms in immortal vigor in the Heavenly
    Home.
                              "Its steadfast depths of calm to know
                            Its sacred whiteness wear."
            
          For the husband who knows the terrible meaning  of the word bereaved, and
     and for the parent who have laid in the grave their only child, we can plead that
     while.
                               "Pain's furnace heat with then quivers,
                                   God's breath upon the flame doth blow,
                               And all the heart in anguish shiver,
                                   And troubles at the fiery glow;
                               Yet, may they whisper, 'As God will!"
                                    And in his hottest fire hold still.
  
                               Why should you murmur? for the sorrow
                                   Thus only longer-lived would be
                               Its end may come and will tomorrow,
                                   When God hath done his work in thee;
                               May you say, trusting, 'As God will!
                               And trusting to the end, hold still."
