Sketch of the Life of Samuel Hill Carter Seventy-nine years, seven im-u'hs and twenty-three days covers the hu man life of him whose memory we know with the songs, and prayers of this hour. About .".(i years have been counted in the record of the cluiivTi of God; fifty years have been devot ed to the loving and holy ollice of hus band and father, and have been crowned with the instinct adoration of a devoted wife, and the tender af fection of four children who linger with us today. The life of our departed friend was not given to the world nor seen by the world; his life was not perfect; no human life is. Its sky was some times visited with clouds, but they were summer clouds. There were crosses in it, but they did not dis courage the sould which had drank of the waters of the river of life. There were sorrows, but they were healed. It was not perfect; but I re peat it is perfect today. May father, mother ami the four children some glad day walk hand In hand through the elysion felted of gh.ry to the I'aradi.-o of God.
