Mrs. Vashti English
Church Memorial
In Memory of Sister Vashti English

According to the will and purpose of our
Heavenly Father, for reasons well pleasing
to Himself, He has again visited us by the
summons of death in taking one of His
blessed children (in the person of Sister
Vashti English) home to Himself, saying,
"Child, thy Father calls, come home," She
united with the Primitive Baptist Church at
Bluff Springs, Macon County, Ga., July 11,
1886, and departed this life April 17, 1919,
in the ripe old age of ninty-three years,
falling as it were a shock of corn fully
ripe for the Master's garner. She
exemplified by her Christian deportment,
daily walk and godly conversation all those
Christian graces that so beautifully
characterizes an humble and loving child of
grace. In her last sickness we feel sure she
was blest with the loving and peaceful
presence of her Saviour, in that her body
void of pain and was permitted to pass over
the river without a groan or strugle. In our
Christian assembly her seat is vacant, and,
as often as we meet to engaage in
thanksgiving and supplication, we shall miss
her, but we sorrow not as those who mourn
without hope, for we feel sure that her
spirit is basking in the sunshine of God's
everlasting love, there awating the
redemption of the body in the resurection,
when the soul and body will be reunited,
thoroughly prepaired to engage in chiming
anthems of praise to the Lord of lords and
King of Kings for ever and ever Amen
