HORACE W. LAWRENCE

By Horace W. Lawrence

My only sister, Mary Eliza Taylor fell asleep in Jesus, May 9th. 1855, after suffering much for years, especially during her last sickness. She had observed the Sabbath over a year and bore a thrilling testimony when with us, though mostly deprived of the privilege on account of poor health. Her patience was manifest while consumption was doing its last work—mind mostly clear, and faith and hope increasing to the last. She was known as a "peace maker" before embracing the Sabbath, having embraced religion in the Fall of 1844, under the proclamation of the second angel of Rev. xiv. 8, in connection with the cry, "Behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him. We are much comforted on account of the blessing that now rests upon those who die in the Lord. Rev. xiv, 13.
