Death of Mrs. Martha Scott. Beautiful, strong and unselfish was her life. She could not stay with us always, nor would she so desire, to be away from her Lord.

It was but natural for her to stay with her loved ones as long as the Lord thought best for her to live in this beautiful world. Never tiring of doing deeds of kindness for her loved ones, she was a devoted mother, sister and friend. lour humble scribe had the pleasure or living near her for six years; and oh, how we do miss her when we go into that home where she was always willing to lend a helping hand. She has received ber full reward for the Christian life she lived here on earth. She was a consistent and faithful member cf Philippi church for many, many years, living near the church all her life, and where she reared ber noble children.

She was a member of the adult Sunday school class. On the last Sunday before her on Saturday, she was at her post, though not well enough to be lhere. She was a member also of the Mission Society and the W. C. T.

U. She leaves seven sons and four daughters and thirty-eight grandchildren, besides a host of friends and relatives to mourn her loss, but we weep not aa those without hope. Why 6hould we weep When this loved one is at rest, In the bosom of Jesus, supreme The mansions of glory Prepared for the blest? Are her Heavenly home and (dream.
