So itrect/g did she fall asleep that friends could scarcely call it death, lt ia not dwith, for carly on that blissful morn she shall- awake and stand before the "Great White Throne,"-not with thoso who pass the judgment test,-but with those who never knew of sin. Then weop not for bur, fond parents ! She is not dead, but sleepeth, oven more sweetly than when pillowed in your gentle arms. Jesus will watch owcr ber, even moro tenderly than you did.
