 My Dear Friends : — 
 
 We have met to manitest our sympathy with 
 the mourners here. For this purpose we have 
 left our various homes and our various occupa- 
 tions. And we have done this wilHngly, in ac- 
 cordance with the injunction inspired by the Holy 
 Ghost, that we should weep with those who weep, 
 as well as rejoice with those who rejoice. 
 
 It is a great loss that has been sustained by 
 the bereaved family. The beloved mother, lon<r 
 the centre of love, and interest, and thoughtful 
 solicitude to so large a circle, has been taken 
 away. Those of us who have known her longest 
 can tell best what she was in all the various rela- 
 tions of life. 
 
 We have known her as the head of a house- 
 hold, over which she presided with a sweet 
 graciousness which lent a double value to the 
 welcome which she ever gave to the many friends 
 visiting her. 
 
 As a faithful and loyal member, long of St. 
 Andrew's, and in later years of Stewarton Church, 
 in both of which cherished associations gather 
 
— 4 — 
 
 about her name, and ample testimony is borne 
 to her liberal help, and her unfailing interest in 
 their welfare. 
 
 As the sympathetic friend of the poor and 
 needy, to whom her heart and hand were always 
 open, and to whom her aid was always readily 
 extended. 
 
 As a generous and cheerful giver to public 
 charities for the relief of the suffering, and the 
 shelter of the homeless, for whom, even after she 
 was unable to visit them, she never ceased to 
 care, and as a helper in every good work which it 
 was in her power to promote. 
 
 We have known her in times of joy, in which 
 she gladly and gratefully recognized the hand of 
 Kim from whom cometh down every good and 
 every perfect gift. We have known her in days 
 of sadness, when mourning the loss of a promis- 
 ing son taken away in boyhood, and of a lovely 
 daughter who departed this life in her early prime, 
 then of a loving husband, to whom she had been 
 so true a helpmeet, and then of other dear mem- 
 bers of her family, of whom we cannot now speak. 
 But with her, as all who knew her can say, 
 
 I

 mourninj^" was never murmuring. She was sus- 
 tained by an abiding irust in her Father in Hea- 
 ven. Taught by the spirit, she could always say, 
 ** The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away: 
 blessed be the name of the Lord." 
 
 And we have known her as a sufferer, long 
 confined to the house, and to her chamber, by 
 reason of her failing strength ; often weak and 
 weary, but always, like herself, solicitous for the 
 comfort of those who so willingly ministered to 
 her wants, and ready with a word of cheer for 
 them. For the expression of her need and for the 
 utterance of her gratitude, she found words in the 
 Psalms, in which she had special delight ; telling 
 of Him who, 'Mike as a father pitieth his chil- 
 dren, pitieth them that fear Him." And her faith 
 was in Jesus as the only and sufficient Saviour. 
 
 So now when met to carry away her mortal 
 remains to the last resting place, we are *'not 
 sorrowing as those who have no hope," but re- 
 membering that " as Jesus died and rose again, 
 even so them also that sleep in Jesus will God 
 bring with Him." Those who are left to mourn 
 have in the remembrance of her who has been 
 taken from them what they may well cherish 
 
urn 
 
 as a precious legacy : in the memory ol' her faith- 
 ful instructions, and loving- admonitions, of her 
 •'ways that were in Christ," oi the example of 
 her whole life. '' Her children arise and call her 
 blessed." And they can hear the "voice from 
 Heaven, saying, ' Blessed are the dead that die 
 in the Lord.' Those of whom the Voice thus 
 speaks depart "to be with Christ, which is far 
 better." And mourners in this home, i^nd every- 
 where, who have loved ones that have "died in 
 the Lord," may with hope and joy anticipate the 
 day of reunion when our returning- Lord shall 
 c^me, in fulfilment of the precious word, to gather 
 His people to Himself, " that where He is there 
 they may be also." " For this we say unto you 
 by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive 
 and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not 
 prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord 
 Himself shall descend from Heaven with :. shout, 
 with the voice of the archangel and with the 
 tramp of God ; and the dead in Christ shall rise 
 first ; then we which are alive, and remain, shall 
 be caught up together with them in the clouds, 
 and meet the Lord in the air ; and so shall we 
 ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one 
 another with these words."
