Special Jtoticcs. Mr. Neville at Sutton's Spring. I will preach at Sutton's Spring at 3.30 o'clock p. in. on Sunday, (tomorrow) December 24tb. Rev. W. G. Neville. OBITUARY. In Memoriam. Mrs. HANNAH E. RIDDLE, wife of Mr. Robt. B. Riddle, entered into rest December 16tb, 1S99, aged 42 years, 9 months anu 27 days. For more than 17 years Mrs. Riddle was a devoted member of Betbei Presbyterian ckurcb. In her life, in ber sickDess, in her death, she adorned her profession as a Christian. Her summons to come up niguer was not unexpected. For months she had been au invalid, aud so learned in the school of affliction the higher lessons of grace, her chastened spirit ripened rapidly lor the Heavenly home. It was beautiful to behold her steadfast faith, bright hope and calm submission to her Heavenly Father's will. I became acquainted with her only about three months before her release. During that time it was my privilege as her pastor to visit her frequently. I was impressed from the lirst that she was no ordinary woman. I was drawn to her, and we held sweet converse on that greatest of all themes?Jesus and His love. I never visited anyone more cheerful in sickness. She always greeted you with a smile. The radiance of joy was in her countenance?a joy that evidently sprang from a sweet peace within. While I had the assurance that she was greatly comforted and strengthened by my visits, yet I felt that I was the one that was especially benefitted. I always felt spiritually stronger ; and my heart would go out in praise to God for this new manifestation of tho raaKtv of th? Christian religion. this living demonstration of the power of Christ in the soul to give the victory. Mrs. Riddle naturally clung to life. She had much to live for. As wife and mother, she could not but see that she occupied a sphere which none other could fill. Humanly speaking it was hard to see bow she could be spared. But grace -accomplished that which nature could not. She was much in prayer. She sought * and found submission to the will of Him who doeth all things well. During my last visit, on the morning of the day of her departure, she said to me, "Yes, I have attained to this. I am ready to die and I am ready to live, whichever the Lord wills." Little did we then think that the end was so near. She seemed better that morning, and though she could not speak above a whisper, she called me to her bedside and said : "I have something to tell you. I want to see my mother and sister Jessie to tell them too. It does seem so wonderful. Last Sunday evening," she continued, "I asked them to leave me quiet. I was all nervous?iu a dreadful condition. Every breath was a prayer or praise or thanksgiving to God. As I prayed Jesus appeared to me. He seemed to come right over my shoulder. His presence seemed so real many a time, I turned my head round to see Him. Once I prayed, 'Leave me not, leave me not, Lord Jesus,' and at once He answered, *1 will uever leave thee nor forsake thee.' At another time I prayed 'O, Lord help me! O Lord do help me,' and immediately He answered, 'My grace is sufficient for thee!' "Agaiu I prayed 40, Lord give me rest; do give me rest,' and He answered at once, 'Come unto me, and I will give you rest.' And thus," she said, "every prayer He answered with a precious promise." Thus, for near half an hour, she talked of things touching the King, till I feared 4 she would go beyond her strength. So I promised to see her again soon, as she said she wanted to tell ine more; but that very eveniug the summons came, and she being ready, entered iuto the presence of the King. u?oo nnnrln/tfoH hT7 XUC 1UIICIQ1 OVI * IV^C nc*o v?'uv?wv.vv? her pastor on Sabbath afternoou at the residence, and her remains were laid to rest in the burying grouod at Bethel church amid a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. , "Why do we mourn departing friends Or shake at death's alarms ? 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to His arms. "Servant of God well done, Rest from thy loved employ, The battle fought, the victory won, Enter thy Master's joy." W. B. Arkowood.
