MOORE.—Died of cancer in San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 28, 1885, Isabella Moore, aged nearly eighty-one years.

In the early part of her life Sister Moore gave her heart to God, and became connected with the Methodist Church. In the summer of 1871 she attended a series of meetings held by Eld. Loughborough in a tent on Market St. S. F., where she accepted the views held by us as a people. She was one of the company by whom was effected the original organization of the San Francisco church, and at the time of her death her name stood at the head of the list of its members. Her Christian life has been exemplary. She came to the “grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.” Her last days were her best. She bore her sufferings with patience, and retained her faculties to the last moments of her life. The church as well as her friends mourn her loss, but not as those who have no hope. Soon the Life-giver will come and will, we trust, awake her out of her sleep, and bestow upon her everlasting life—the reward of the righteous. Words of comfort were spoken by the writer, from Rev. 14:13.
