Again death has entered thej
home ol Mrs S. L. Mobley, widow i
ol the late .J. I>. Mobley. First,
several years ago, a son, Mtinnerlyn.and
her husband, were taken,
I almost without warning, and
I within a lew hours of each other.
Then a lew years later, a daughter,
Mrs. Nettie ('arson, died, suddenly.
Then, about three months
ago, another daughter, Miss Clem,
was taken from her, followed in
a few days by the unexpected
death of asi-ter living near her?
Mrs. \V. It. Mobley. And now!
Mrs. Mobley herself is dead ; has!
been taken "home"?where there
is no more trouble and sorrow,
and where the weary and heavy
laden are at rest, ller death was
not unexpected. It has long been
known that, though she was able
to be up, she could not be spared
a great while longer?that her
i ? _ i- i %
me nun}: ny a very slender eor?l
that whm liable to break at any
time. She herself fully realized
her condition, and was prepared
to no whenever the Master might
call. .Just before her daughter
died she told her that they would
not be parted long. And when
she took the the last sad farewell
of her?the farewell of the living
to the dead?she said, "Goodbye,
sweet one; I am coming soon."
She took worse Sunday 2nd., and
though she had every care that
attentive physicians and loving,
tender daughters could give her.
she gradually sank until Friday
evening when, .just alter the sun
had gone down, she breathed her
last, and her spirit went to the|
(ioil who gave it.
A Iter the toil and trouble,
There comes a day of rest;
After the weary conflict.
Peace on the Savior's breast ;
After the care and sorrow.
The glory of light ami love;
After the wilderness journey.
The Father's bright home above.
After the pain and sickness,
The tears are all wiped away;
After the (lowers are gathered,
No more of cart If* decay;
After the deep heart sorrow,
The glory of light and love;
After the daily dosses,
A glorious crown of love.

In many respects this is said to

composed of some eight hun
delegates representing fourteen
States, many ol' whom were
among the greatest preachers and

one day ahead of us, has not yet
returned. The Convention goes

is the matter? It means that people

The way to correct this condition i*
