Mr. Beardsley afterwards becoming a devoted and able spiritual leader, the dear wife helping nobly and effectually in the glorious work of that truth to which they gave themselves, even as they were given to each other, and in her dying moments strengthened the mourning companion of her life with these parting sentiments: "My dear one, we have walked together thro' fields of labor for the doctrine we love; with my hand in yours I am crossing the narrow stream between the flesh and the spirit. I am now so near the immortal home that I know how good the great God-love faith is to die by--in this hand clasp I want you to know. We have told the world that we believe--go now and preach, not merely what you believe, but from henceforth tell the world what you know." God grant that all of us who are left to mourn may find comfort in our sister's blessed assurance of that which she knew.

"Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none every wake to weep"
Mother is gone and laid at rest, her weary arms folded across her breast. We mourn, but think it for the best; for mother to have a peaceful rest. It was hard to part, but the parting is o'er, we shall see her face on earth no more, or hear her voice or footsteps more; she has passed from earth to the golden shore. We mourn and weep for mother gone and our home is lonely from night till morn. Oh, pitty the ones that is lefts alone to mourn for that mother that is dead and gone; but the summon will come and we must die and meet our mother in her home on high, where sickness and death sill never come, and all rest with Christ in that Beautiful Home.
