Miss Sadie Beal died at the residence of her mother, in this village on
Saturday last, October 13th, aged 18 years. Her illness was consumption 
and she has been in failing health for many months. She is remembered
as a pleasant youth of a kind heart and friendly spirit. She loved life,
and, in her earlier sickness, had a strong desire to live; but God has
ordered it otherwise.

"His ways are not as our ways."; As she saw her approaching nearness
to the future world, she sought the grace of submission to the divine will.
Jesus heard her prayer and gave hope in his infinite love. One week previous
to her death, she received the ordinance of Christian Baptism at the hand
of her pastor, Rev. Mr. Brown, in her sick room. Hereby she was joined
in convenant with God and peace and rest came into her youthful heart.
She distributed the tokens of remembrance to family and calmly awaited
the closing hour of life. It came in quiet to her couch and peacefully
she passed from earth away to be at rest beyond.

The funeral services, held on Tuesday of this week, were conducted by her
pastor and largely attended. The singing by the Methodist choir was excellent
and a remarkable tenderness prevaded the hour. Tears flowed from many eyes.

Especially was it considered as a call to the youth to devote their hearts
to the service of God in life's morning.

The afflicted family share the heartfelt sympathy of all.
