While the last rays of the sun were casting their shadows over the hills on last Friday, the dark.-winged angel of death cast a doper shadow of gloon and sorrow over the home, and hearts of our Brother McDaniel I and his children by claiming for the' Reaper their beloved wife and moth or, Mrs. J. H. 0. McDaniel. Her life's llabor was done and her Father was ready to welcome her to the mansion prrpared for her abovo. He had called and she must answer. He knows best and whilo the hearts of her loved ones are torn and bleeding because of the sundering of these earthly ties, and they feel that this chastoning is hard to boar, we puint thom to the promises of him who never fails. He is merciful and will not always chide "Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pit. jeth them that fear him, for he knoweth our frame; he remomboreth that we are dust." He has promised to go with us through the deep wa tors; to bless our troubles; to uphold us by His righteous, omnipotent hand. Eirly in life she "remember ed her Creator" and took her place among the chiliren of God. Her (dailly walk was that of consecration kind, loving, charitable -her soul as pure as the fair lily which some thoughtful friend had placed on her breast before we laid her in her tomb. We feol that she is safe in the heavenly home amid the ransom. od of her God garnering in ihe sheaves, the fruit of her labor, with a crown of righteousness on her brow. It is needless for me to dwell for a moment on the many noble christian virtues of this womian, but as her friend and pastor, I feel it my duty to write a few words expressing my high esteei and respect for so lovely a character as hers. She was no stranger to tlio people of this community, but wa' nidely known in this as well as in her nd tive county, that of Greenti o. She waii Miss Sallio Lfgon. the datiughter (if Col. .1. T. Li on. She was narried to J. It. G. A aniel December 16th, 1869, an~t was the mother of thirteen childo n, all of whom survive her, and who are an honor and blessing to such a mother. Her spirit will walk besido hot loved ones though unsien and when Jesus bids them enter throngh the pearly p1ortal she will be the first to meet thon. she rest% beneath her native earth, With gratel til licarts we'll sing her worth: H1er gentle waiys shall ever dwell In hearts that knew and loved ter well. And oft we'll lift the tearful eye Oh hear her calling from the sky. Oh! how could we her aimonce bear, lnu that we hope to meet her theiey J. R. Fostor. -The thre'-'yenr-old soi of Mr. alid Mrs. R.
