Meal lng, the beloved wife of Rev. Jobu P. Mealing, of Curryton, South Carolina. Mrs. Wealing was born near Columbus, Georgia, on May 5th 1836, was educated at the Slade jschool in Columbus, united with the Baptist church iu 1853, was married the third day of Decem ber 1856, and died January 1st 1906. Why say more? No words of praiBe or love can give added charm to her many virtues or eu hauce the worth of her long and useful life, and yet, such 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 ! When, in voice less sorrow, we realize the fact that our best beloved are with us no more, we begin to live in tho past. We call up the face of those who journied with us so long, and live over again and again the scenes iu which they shared our joys aud sorrows. Under the influence of this strange power, which enfolds ue and them iu "silence love and mys 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 busbaud, children, and de voted kindred and friends of this good woman were the beneficiaries of her virtues and her .sacrifices. She was the engaging conter of this large circle. In many dark days of trial bud distress, by the for?a of her unfailing courage, aud steadfast faith she strengthened tbf>ir hands, comforted .their hearts, encouraged them to re newed endeavor, aud uerved them for the duty and the atruggle each day imposed. She never lost heart or hopp, never faltered, never swerved from the pat h of duty or sacrifice for the good and happi ness of thosp around her. Truly she was a spirit of loving minis tration to human suffering and need. They say "the good.die first." Nay! not so. Tbe best of earth's children, tested and fouud pure gold, ha\e lived to a "good age' aud made their living a constant benediction to sad, and tired, and desponding souls. In Mrs. Meal i ng's sphere as helpmeet to her husband, she magnified her wisdom, her pru dence, and her devotion. For half a century she stood by his side, his right arm aud tower of strength. In bis ministry of fifty years, oft in physical weakness, oft in men tal distress, she was the tender guardian of his health, the wise counsellor of his work, his very inspiration in the long aud faith ful service ho has given to the Master's sause. "Be still and strong, O man, my brotlier; 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. i And stand within, and all God's work ings see, We could interpret all this doubt and and strife, And fe pach mystery could lind a key." L. E. Gwaltney. j Frightfully Burned. Chas. W. Moore, a machinist, of Ford City, Pa., had his hand frightfully bumed in an electrical furnace.
