Mr. Mockford buried her on the following Saturday; and, among other things, he spoke from these words--"If the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth there it shall be." He spoke of the departed as being toward the south--toward the house of God, the people of God, and the ways and Word of God; and as she was so far joined to the living, there was hope that she would be found among that people at the resurrection morning. On Sunday morning in the school, one of the teachers read that chapter where the same words stand, and, though not at the funeral, some very similar remarks were made, and the same hope concerning the departed was expressed. I am sure of this--that, if she had that good thing in her heart toward the Lord God of Israel, namely, faith toward Jesus and His blood, she is now joining "The host of virgin saints Made to salvation wise." The question may arise, "Why say anything about her, since there is no more ground for hope than this?" It is to the living I want to say a few words, hoping the Lord will make use of this feeble account to lead the young readers of the LITTLE GLEANER to consider how matters stand with them before God and for eternity. "Reflect, young friend, I humbly crave, Thy sins, how high they mount! What are thy hopes beyond the grave? How stands that dark account?" Oh, how solemn your case, if you are in an unpardoned state! Death may come upon you speedily, and then what will you do? All who die without repentance and forgiveness must hear that solemn word from the lips of Christ, "Depart from Me!" Are you blessed with a good hope, through grace? Then you certainly have something to be thankful to God for. Or are you in some doubt as to whether you have a living hope in Christ? And do you fear that, if called to die, you could say no more than Lizzie Winchester did? Then my prayer for such an one is, that the Lord may stir you up to real, earnest, wrestling prayer and importunity respecting your salvation. "If hellish foes beset thee round, And would thy way withstand, On Jesus call, nor yield thy ground, And He will help command." It is no small mercy, reader, if your moral character will compare with Lizzie Winchester's. She was a model in this respect, and I hope you may be found in every way as consistent as she was, and, above all, may you be found in Christ Jesus, living and dying. I had thought of saying more, but, as I wish to be brief, I will conclude by telling you that, notwithstanding her reservedness, several friends, with myself, had a good hope of Lizzie. We do trust she is now "completely blest; Has done with sin, and care, and woe, And entered Jesus' rest." W. L.
