Christian’s triumphant victory
over sin and deatb, stands as a
pre-eminent honor in Heaven
over the Angelic host who never

responsed ■ when only a. little

world, waved it triumphantly in
defiance of her spiritual ene

trail in tihe dust and mire of
sin. The last conversation 1 had
with Aunt Sallie was last Sepr
tember during the special meet
ing at Bethel. She spoke words
of cheer aiid comfort and gave
every evidence that .-^he po.s.se.s-

anchor to the soul, sure and
steadfast; and could with strong
faith and abiding trust, say in
