UP

On the 17th of August, in Brocks Gap, near Mount Carmel Church, Rockingham county, Virginia, of cancer, Sophia Fulk, aged 59 years, 3 months and 25 days. The deceased was for many years a consistent member of the Mennonite Church. Her department in the Church was so consistent with her confession, that she was an ornament to the Church, and a light to the world. During her illness she evidently suffered severely, which, however, she bore with much patience and Christian resignation. She was very much rejoiced to have her friends and neighbors visit her, of whom she frequently requested singing and prayer, and was much revived and cheerful thereby. On Sunday previous to her death I met with her for the last time in life. I spoke to her of death, and her prospects for the future life, and her answers were such that showed her to have the unwavering assurance that she was going home and was ready and willing to go hence and be with Jesus. She asked to have singing and prayer, and requested the beautiful hymn to be sung: "O land of rest, for thee I sigh."
Her funeral and burial services were held on the 19th at the Mount Carmel Church, by Samuel Shank and the writer. Text, John 5:25-29. Buried in the Hess graveyard, in the presence of many friends.
Companion dear, I left you here,
In solitude, and gloom, and tears;
But all in mercy, God has come,
To take me to my heavenly home.

Weep not for me, since 'tis in vain,
I will no more return again;
My home from earth is far away,
And here 'tis my delight to stay.

The angels me with joy did greet,
Who at the gate with me did meet;
Aloud with joy they all did sing
"Come in, come in, and join the ring."

Here my dear Savior met me too,
To say, "Sophia, is this you!"
How great my joy earth cannot tell,
For Jesus has done all things well.

He gave to me place of bliss,
Of joy, of peace, and righteousness;
My joy dear friends, so wondrous great,
Prepare to share before too late.
ABRAHAM SHANK.
Broadway, Virginia.

BRENNEMAN.- On the 1st of November, near Orrville, O., of paralysis, Henry M. Brenneman, aged 45 years, 4 months and 3 days. Deceased was of a gentle and pleasant disposition, having gained a large circle of friends who mourn his departure, but not as without hope, although he neglected the one thing needful until God solemnly warned him by afflicting him with paralysis; but he heeded the warning, and turned to Jesus, and was received into the Mennonite church by baptism several years ago, after which his disease gradually grew worse until God ended his sufferings by death. He was buried on the 4th in the Mennonite burying-ground near Orrville, where many friends had assembled to pay the last tribute of respect to one whom they have learned to love in life. Services by Michael Horst and Michael Rohrer from John 14:1-3 and 1 Thess. 4: 14-17.
