Even vhm she had passed the Scriptural three score years and ten she still dis- " played that stern attachment to duty, 'ua despite the. protestations of her r loved ones she refused to cease from work. Her sense of duty impelled her topi on to the end. Although her end TO very sudden, she was not unp're- .«' pared. God had given her a premoni'lwj rig&al some weeks ago. They asked sot to be delivered » from sudden . death, bat from sudden and unprovided death. Those who were left the preacher exhorted not to mourn as those irjtboat hope.
