dust prayer was offered by elder 0 H berg the choir then sang host for the weary soul hest fur head best on the hillside rest the great dead DAVID JOHN said sister I 1 annn whose remains are before us was born august 8 1842 being now a bittle over 45 years of age was married january and was the mother of ten children five sons and five daughters she has thus passed away in the bloom of life when she appeared to be of threat service to her husband her children and those all around her she has suffered long weeks at times being in the most intense pain but she has borne it all with christian fortitude she endured it with faith that remarkable was ahe has bad the greatest attention and care that co aid possibly be bestowed upon her by a kind husband loving children professional men and a host of others but it appeared to me from the first that death had stricken her that ne had laid his scythe upon her and that she was t to pass to the other side had 1 slater dunn lived recovered from her sickness she w doubtless ever afterwards ter wards have suffered hence I 1 feel like saying the lord gives the lord away blessed be the name of the lord the most sorrowing part of this ordeal seems to be that brother dunn is confined to his room with sickness that has been most critical the past few days but I 1 pray that god may bless him with his spirit and heal him from his affliction life is most uncertain at any moment the lord chooses we are laid low in the dust this body which clothes our spirits was made in the image of god it is of the earth earthy death has been passed upon us and sooner or later we must yield this body to the elements and our spirit wend its flight beliinda the vail we have no time to depart from the ways of the lord we may be cut down in the bloom of life and required to account for our actions the inner man the spirit that cannot be destroyed that death cannot conquer will live forever our body returns to dust but our spirit returns to god who gave it hence we are led to reflect up on our positions before the lord and to ask ourselves the question have we lived so that we can stand before tho lord and give a good record of our actions we sometimes sing there is sweet heaven and there is but to enjoy it we have got to possess a conscience void of offense offence towards god alie speaker then prayed for the blessings of god to rest upon
