Nor was there anything superficlal to the universal grief of the mourning that held that silent and sad, for each one remembered the many acts of kind- ness performed for them by the loved one lying so quiet and still amid the wealth of flowers. Always unselfish and self-sacrificing, always devoting herself to helping and uplifting others, her quiet, unostentatious goodness had endeared her to all with whom she came in contact, and made her very presence a blessing to the community. Peculiarly was the service a sad one for that church, for Mre. Newbury ‘was long one of its most faithful and efficient members, ¥or nearly five vears she had been superintendent of the Sunday school, and held that place at the time of her death. For more than two years,she had not missed & service of the school, and was dearly ‘beloved by both teachers and pupils. Prominent in the other organizations of the church, she was to have led a missionary service there at the .very hour when the pastor, with ghoking voice, pronounced ovkr her Such a eulogy as all might pray to merit. Seldom is heard so noble a tribute to so noble a life, as comforted the hearts of that sorrowing audience; for Mrs, Newbury’s name and acts of love, mercy and kindness were synonymous. It was only the intensity of their love for their sister who had gone that gave her associate members of the choir strength to do for her what, with them, she had done so often for others, and as they sang her favorite hymn, all present felt, oh, so sure, that Jesus was the “lover of her soul,” and that she had indeed “flown to His bogom.” Faithful beyend the ordinary adap- tation of the term, to her church, she was on her way to service when her life was sacrificed. The deepest sym- ’uthy is felt for Mr, Newbury, who s highly respected throughout the whole city and town, and offers .of sympathy and help have been innum- erable, A, . B, Local Small Notes. Mrs. D.
