Long dls 1 tan oe PhoKe at my residence. In .Memoriam. In the death of Mis. Martini Clark Anderson lost ono of her oldest and most respected landmarks. Tho Bap tist Church lost one of its most faithful and consecrated members. It was vhe Krivilege of the writer to have known Irs. Clark intimately in her home during the last yearn of Jier life. She was a brave, strong, heroic soul, and one of the most tender, sympathetic and lovable of women. One of those pure, noble and true women, whom to know ia to love, and also to know that which is best u?d most helpful in this faulty world. Mrs. Clark possessed in a most re markable measure almost all of the Christian graces. But especially char ity, the touchstone of Christianity, and the crowning characteristic of the Master whom she loved long and faith fully. She was ever ready to espouse the canst;of the weak, and throw over the faults and shortcomings of the er ring thu mantle of mercy and love. She was the tireless friend of pover ty. The needy came to ber door and invariably found a generous heart and a helping hand. Thc hungry came to lind unstinted plenty, and go away fed. To her Church and God she loy ally gave the l>est years of her life. Like Lydia ?d' oui, her heart 'Mid homo were ever open to God's servants, and many laborers in the Master's Vine yard-some who have gone on to their reward and others who still toil "n can testify to her hospitality and gen erosity. One of the moat touching and beau til ul traits of her noble character was her changeless love and untiring devo tion to h T husband and family. Next to Cod, she lived for the man to whom she hail pledged her life and love, and for the :hildren whom God gave to her. A consecrated Christian, a faith ful friend) a loyal, loving wife and a tender, devoted mother. She had lived more than three score years and ten, most of them spent in cheerful service, and atlast the Master has called his faithful servant up high er. She had long been ready, waiting and watching for the summons. Jake tho reaper going homo at eventide after tin; long day's work is done, she hus finished her work hero and gone to her eternal home. No sadness in this death. And as the tired day sinks upon the bosom of the night to rest, she sank into the anns ol' death, but her soul took its Hight to the God who gave it, there to fold its tired arms, and lay its weary head on tho bosom of tho rest-giving Christ in the Paradise of God, until tho resurrectiou morn. With the prophet wo may well ex clnira: "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my lust end be like His." A Fm KN o. Half Rates to Chattanooga, Tenn.
