' consistent Christian, a woman o strong faith, of nolne disposition and charitable hart. Her entire life, was marked by a spirit of kindness and sweetness that won the love and reverence of all.

There is an old adage, too, which people generally observe. ob-serve. It is: "Of the dead say nothing but what is good.'' All this applied to the deceased. It was verified in her truly Christian life. "No evil speech I ever proceeded from her mouth." Whilst lfving nothing was said of her but what was jood. I never heard Mrs. Keogh's name mentioned except in the most reverential and endearing j terms. Her presence, her conve;ation, J her very movements served as an ob-I ob-I jeet lesson to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Ten years ago. when she lost her only -child, she was subjected sub-jected to the most heartrending pain that a mother is called upon to endure. Yet not a murmur escaped her Hps. j With Christian fortitude she resigned' herself to God's holy will. The great sacrifice, instead of causing a rebel- lious spirit, drew her nearer and closer ! to God. All her thoughts were in heaven, hea-ven, and the hope of a happy union with her child gave Yer consolation and soothed her sorrow. Absorbed in the love of God, she often spent hours in this little church pouring out her soul in prayer. If we could only read her! thoughts. Avhat a lesson would they not teach. These thoughts extended beyond the grave. What she so often thought ' of and hoped for is now realized. I do not hesitate for a moment in saying she is in heaven. The mother and child are now inseparably united. Her friends will miss her. That personal character, sr true, so gentle, so disinterested, so self-sacrificing, and above all, so cha- I ntable, will create a. gap in the circle I of her acn.ua intanees that cannot be easily filled. Personally, if I were called to point out a truly Christian soul, she is one of the few known to me. After! thirty years' experience as a priest to J whom I would refer find say: "Behold in Mrs. Keogh a soul in whom there is no guile." She was a devoted, loving, faithful I w ife. In that strong, manly soul, her ; husband, is now a void that can only be filled .when united with her and his child in heaven. For him her career I was too brief; she died too soon; but not too quick or too soon for herself, for she died in the Lord, and her good works are registered in heaven. You have the sympathy Jf her friends and your own. I unite with the church in j her .condolence as expressed . in her prayers. May it be -our happy lot in the end to share in the joys which now are hers. Death is the final goal for all. The future will be what we make it May it be a happy one or all, are my wishes on this sad. but solemn occasion." oc-casion." The deep sympathy of all is extended to he bereaved husband in his sorrow. There remains in the hearts of all who knew Mrs. Keogh only the tenderest memories of a life and death that was beautiful and holy. May the lovely little woman rest in peace! Mahoney.
