The funeral of Mrs. A Foil was conducted at her late residence, Fri day morning, and below are some beautiful remarks made by her pastor, Rev. Wright G Campbell, of St. James Lutheran church. Many friends of the deceased requested the publication of the admirable tribute by her pastor. Amelia Louisa Foil was born Nov. 19, 1S3G, and died March 31, 1892, aged 55 years, 4 months and 12 days. Such is the brief record which completes the history of a human life. Two dates that mark the be ginning and the close, and that is all. So closely are the facts of birth and death joined in the statement that the mind has scarcely framed the picture of the new born babe whosa coming filled the house with glad ness, ere the words are spoken which lift before'the imagination's vision the pale face of the dead woman whose going left a sadnes3 unspeak able in the home. How brief the record, yet how full to him who reads between the lines the story of a life ! Look bat a little while upon the drama of hu man existence as it is written be tween the dates of birth and death and see how replete with changing scene and incident the little span of life is. There is no human life whose story, were it truthfully told, would not be stranger than any fic tion snd sadderthan any tragedy. As the mind lingers on these fifty five years that lie between these dates, visions of happy childhood, girlish youth and ripened woman hood change like dissolving views through all the phases of womanly experience. There are echoes of girlish laughter that change to the deeper music of a cradle song ; there are hushed silences of a mother's prayer, and the stifled sighs of a widow's grief. Quickly the visions flit, and the last scene of all is that which we look on here, of white hands quietly folded and a still lace hallowed by the stately peace of the last Bleep. The last scene of all! Only the last as we reckon from the stand point of the unreal and the transient. As we judge it from the standpoint of the real and eternal life's morning has just flushed the east with dawn for her. That span of life 'measur ed by half a century, as we count time, was long enough to do the work that God had appointed her, but that was not her life. Long enough for the enjoyment of all that earth and time had to give of happiness for her, long enough for the endurance of the trials insepar able from human existence, but these were not her life, nor any part of it; they only touched it at its be ginning, and it isjihey which have ceased to be, not she. The joys and the sorrows of life are ended, but life itself goes on. The dust may return to the earth as it was, but the spirit returns to God who gave itand only when it has returned to him can it bejsaid that life has really begun. Let us say then that thi3 i3 life's moraine with her, and be lieve that her soul rests in God whom not having seen she loved. Ali that remains to us is the memory of her virtues. She has left us the heritage of a godly life and the memory of the just is blessed As we recall the graces which adorn ed her life their total is the sum of a noble Christian womanhood. Many today will drop a tear to the memory of one who was a faithful friend, and her death will leave in many hearts a void that will last as long as life remains. The church of which she was an honored and useful member will miss her willing hand and heart, but her example will re main. Having stayed herself on God in life. God was her stavin death. In the still watches of the early morn ing her tired spirit found repose, Gently and peacefully she passed from sleep here to life beyond. And that love which prompted her to so many friendly ofiices and moved her to such faithful service of her church, is that all gone ? Did it cease to be when her spirit passed to another sphere of life ? We who believe in the communion of saints do not harbor the thought, for we know that when faith has lost itself in sight and hope has passed into fruition love remains, for God is love. We lay her body down to sleep in the hallowed bosom of our mother earth, but her soul rests in the lov insr bosom of her God, sorrowing - most of all that we shall look upon her face no more, but sorrowing not a3 they who have no hope, for as we believe that Jesus died and rose as?ain. even so do we believe that them which sleep in Je3us will God bring with him.
