these words, she waved her hand; and presently, without a sigh, she breathed her last. And blessed are the dead which thus die in the Lord: all the Lord's people die safe--all die in faith. They all die in peace and friendship with God and conscience. But this is meeting death, and finishing the warfare in militant glory. May the dear family, who were kind, affectionate, and perpetually attentive to her, experience the like grace in death--sweetly sleep in Jesus; and whatever may be their fears in life--Oh, that their end may be blessed. "Shudder not to pass the stream, Rest with all thy care on him; Him whose dying love and power, Still'd its tossing, hush'd its roar. Safe is the expanding wave, Gentle as a summer's eve; Not an object of his care Ever suffered shipwreck there." And while we thus record the riches of sovereign grace, as experienced in life and death, by our dear departed friend, we must not, we cannot, forget the memory of departed worth. Again, another friend in the Lord, a lover of his truth, a respectable member of the church, Mrs. WALTON, who sat just before Mrs. TURNER, in the chapel; a debtor to grace indeed; she was the daughter of a most respectable and pious deacon of a church, who was much esteemed for his piety and usefulness--beloved of his God, and by those who knew him--and after a life of usefulness in the church, was suddenly called home to a grace-provided glory.
