Ella had been trained religiously and was attentive to her daily prayers.  Lovely and gentle in her ways, she was a joy and gladness in her home - a dear sister, a kind daughter, and a true friend, she will not easily pass from our affections; but pleasant in her life, her amiable manner won her many hearts where her memory will be long enshrined.  Some linger out useless lives, while others, with apparently the best promise, go early like the dew of the morn.  those whom our Saviour calls ere time has hardened the sensibilities are saved from the evil that is in the world.  For them all care and anxiety cease - our ambitious views for their earthly interests are over, and henceforth we should look above, knowing that they have by grace secured a better portion than our fondest wishes would have given them, for they are in the blessed Paradise of God.  Mich.
