There ife sorrow throughout St. Mary's parish for the untimely death of Mrs. Mary Kerr, a most popular member of our parish, and therefore the sad news was a severe shock. The people of the parish fully comprehend the worth and social position of tnis estimable Christian woman. In t,ie death of Mrs. Kerr the parish and city has lost a woman who possessed a friendship that was real in its extent and character, for she was well known and esteemed. Her best qualities of mind and heart were displayed in !u r untiring devotion to her family. Sue developed those amiable qualities that endear a virtuous woman to all. and exemplified by her very action an inborn in-born gentleness that was characteristic characteris-tic of her whole life. Her faithful Christian life was such as to lca.1 us to the firm conviction that she is safe and happy. She is our ideal of u Christian wife and mother. Her useful use-ful life is a greater eulogy than the best human tribute. We will not say that she is dead, but that she ha-sjust begun to live. ' Her memory should inspire us to greater effort to profit by the lively faith which she practiced and which was one of her pre-eminent traits. Kindly sajr a prayer for the repose of her soul. J. F. R. We will give an account of the funeral fu-neral in our next. |
