CARLISLE ; <?> True success in life is determined j by the contribution one makes to the ! happiness and betterment of the 1 world. When one passes away there lis always some approximation of Ms 1 worth and service. Judged by this ; standard we are constrained to bej Iieve that Mrs. Rose Carlisle is de; serving of more than the usual no1 tice. She was reared in a refined Christian home and had the advantages of education and training in j right ic'eals. But these things may ;be only external. With Mrs. Carlisle (they were sancitfied by personal acj ceptance of Christ and consecration to His service. To her religion was | the chief issue in life and her devoI tio& was constant and beautiful. She i regarded her own church as her first I great field of service. Like the MasI ter rhe had a heart of great com passion for the little ones and found no greater pleasure than gathering them into the fold and teaching them the ways of God. For many years she was in charge of the primary department of the A. 'R. P. Sabbath school, and the children who compassed her grave with a wreath of flowers were representative of a large company of loving hearts who have passed through this department and have gone their several ways in life, but who have never forgotten the early lessons given them by this devoted teacher. Mrs. Carlisle was gifted with the power of song which she used in the | service of God till the very last days j of life. She has been aprominem of life. She has been a prominent : years, ready and responsive to every ; demand. "While her voice is hushed f her songs linger in the world to make t it happier ami the place of worship ; holier. I I Like other active workers -Mrs. > Carlisle found a held of service outside of her own church. F^or many years she was actively connected with the interdenominational S. S. work ! and her voice was often heard in 'county and State conventions in be: half of her belo .ed children. i . . ... Above all tnese activities rises a j beautiful character, a faith in God that shone all the brighter when days were dark. In a very striking wav her life was triumphant. Her home was ideal and in a very beautiful way she fulfilled the inspired description of a model woman. "She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. i Her children arise up, and call her i i blessed; he. husband also, and he i ^ praiseth her." | For such a devoted Chrijtian death ' * * ? ~ J naci no rerrors. sue counseieu iici i ! loved ones about the spiritual world < I and assured them that in some way i : sue would continue to minister to! them. She spoke of death as only a | | brief journey, and longed for her j j release that she might go to the Father's house. For one of such triumphant faitli death had no sting and the j 1 grave no victory. The end came in ! ; great peace a d the testimony fori ; her Lord in death as in life was beau-1 tiful and strong. Such a victorious i end leads us all to pray, "Let me die | the death of the righteous, and let my j last end be like his." J. W. C. I I Central M. E. Church, South (Rev. F. E.
