Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Rev. xiv, 13.

[The following obituary, probably in consequence of some inaccuracy of the mail, has been delayed several weeks.—ED.]

DIED, at Olcott, N. Y., Feb. 13, after a lingering illness, our little Edna Maria, aged six months and a half.

There she is sleeping now free from all pain, The little form never’ll be restless again. Those little garments dear she’ll want no more; Lay aside tenderly, each one she wore.

Then there’s the empty crib, take out of sight; Keep me from murm’ring, Lord, it is not right. If others pity me, God surely must; E’en while he deals the blows in him I’ll trust.

If God looks down and sees so small a thing As when the sparrow falls with bleeding wing, Oh, can I not believe he’ll care for me, And that my precious dead I yet shall see?

C. W. & E. O. LINDSAY.
