in our late Sister, a sincere &
valued friend & conscientious
Christian. <gap></gap>
Upright in principle & faithful
in business, she did all she had
to do with a single eye to the
interest of the concern she was
entrusted with, & never for an
hour would sacrifice duty to
pleasure. <gap> </gap>
To be unexpectedly called upon
to part with a friend so faithful
& entering in her exertions for
the good of the whole household
does indeed fill all our hearts
with sorrow, we deeply [illegible - crossed out] mourn
her loss -- but we cannot but
say that our loss is her eternal
gain. She knew in whom she
believed & when the summons
came for her to lay by her
earthly duties, she was enabled
to say: "Thy will be done!"
[page break]
And we doubt not would
hear the welcome --"Well done
good & faithful servant --
enter thou into the joy of thy
Lord <gap></gap>
<gap></gap> As a fellow labourer and
when they plead with him
for the furtherance of his gospel, but
also unto man, by the lively & intelligent
interest she always displayed in
conversations on the subject of
missionary labours, & by her untiring
& successful endeavours, to collect
subscriptions for such objects, as the
Foreign & Home Missions, the Bible
Society & so forth. The local committees
of these associations, will miss in her
a valued member, & a successful
collector.
