Meal ing, the beloved wife of Rev. John P. Mealing, of Currytou, South Carol i ua. Mrs. Wealing was born near Columbus, Georgia, ou May 5th 1836, was educated at the Slade ?Behool in Columbus, united with the Baptist church in 1853, was married the third day of Decem ber 1856, and died January 1st 1906. Why say more? No words of praise or love can give added charm to ber many virtues or eu hauce the worth of her long and useful life, and yet, iucb words fall as soothing balm on the hearts of those who loved her with a hive that shall last "beyond the years of time.'' What a priceless gift is memory 1 When, in voice less eorrow, we realize the fact that our best beloved are with us no more, we begin to live in the past. We call up the face of those who journied with us so long, and live over again and again the Bcenee in which they shared our joys and sorrows. Under the influence of this strange power, which enfolds us and them m "silence love and mya tery," we thank God that we can remember, that this the best of life can be made an enduring ' treasure, ever a source of sad yet sweetest joy. The husband, children, and de voted kiudred and friends of this good woman were the beneficiaries 1 of ber virtues and her .sacrifices. ( She was the engaging conter of ? Ibis large circle. In many dark i days of trial bud distress, by the 1 for?a of her unfailing courage, aud j steadfast faith she strengthened ( their hands, comforted .their l hearts, encouraged tham to re- ] newed endeavor, aud nerved them ? for the duty and the struggle each i day imposed. She never lost heart 1 or hopp, never faltered, never ( swerved from the pat h of duty or j sacrifice for the good and happi- j ness of those around her. Truly r ehe wap a spirit of loving minis- : tration to human sufferiug and need. They say "the good.die first." ; Nay! uot so. The best of earth's j children, tested and found pure ' gold, ba\e lived to a "good age' aud made their living a constant benediction to sad, aud tired, and desponding souls. ' In Mrs. Mealing'B sphere as 1 helpmeet to her husbaud, she ] magnified her wisdom, ber pru dence, and her devotion. For half 1 a century she stood by bis side, his right arm aud tower of strength. ? In bis ministry of fifty years, oft in physical weakness, oft in men- i tal distress, she was the tender ! guardiau of his health, the wise I counsellor of his work, bis very I inspiration in the long aud faith ful service he bas given to the . Master's cause. "Be still and strong, O man, my brother; hold thy sobbing breath. They whom we loved and lost not long ago Dwell in the mansions far from mor tal woe. God wipes their tears away." "We shall shortly know that length ened breath Is not the sweetest gift God sends his friend, And that sometimes the sable pall of death Conceals the fairest bloom his love can send. If we could push aside the gates of life. And stand within,and all God's work ings see, . We could interpret all this doubt and and strife, And for each mystery could lind a key." L. R. Gwaltney. Frightfully Burned. ? Chas. W. Moore, a machinist, of Ford City, Pa., had his hand frightfully bumed in an electrical furnace.
