Miss Janie Robertson was the ' daughter of Mr. Robert.

Richmond, un- . til recently the family moved to West ? Grace Street. She was one of the sweet and guilc ! less spirits God sometimes sends to | bless the world with their Innocence, I their faith and high ideals. She was | so gentle and tender of heart that she ' found a place in the love of all who knew her well. Iler simple, truthful dignity of character was an unusual | I trait in one so young. Iler uniform kindness and consideration towards all | she met in daily life endeared her ; greatly to her family and friends, and j made her loss all the more deeply f it and distressing to those nearest to j her. They can recall her unfailing charity in speaking of others, and h<.r forgiving spirit towards any who hail ? pained her. Her sympathy for others ; in sickness and trouble helped her to boar her own intense suffering with a 1 patience and sweetness that impressfd deeply those who ministered to her in i her last hours. But God knows best, and has taken I her to Himself. We cannot doubt His J wisdom or her gain. The c hange for her is glorious?from earth to the ! j presence of the Lord until the time comes when soul and body shall be re united. prepared for a never ending ' life with God.
