Obituary. |
|

For the Methodist Protestant.

It is my painful duty to make the melancholy |
announcement of the death of sister:

SatLy Ann A. Parts,

late consort of our beloved brother, Rev. stn
Paris, of the North Carolina Conference.

   
        

So fades a summer cloud away,
So sinks the gale when storms are o’er;

So gently shuts the eye of day,

So dies a wave along the shore.
She departed this life at the age of 30 ‘.
having been for eight or ten years of that time a
professor of Christianity and a member of a
Methodist Protestant Church. Her religion was
not of the fashionable kind—its lodzement was
in her heart; its principles were exemplified in
her walk, her conversation, and her life. She
was diffident and retiring in her manners, warm,
ardent and affectionate towards her friends. She
lingered under her disease about six weeks; her
sufferings at times, both of body and mind, were
very severe. She seemed from her first decline
of health to have a premonition that her death
was at hand. She often called upon her husband
to bear her up at a Throne of Grace. On the
evening before her death she was asked if she
could see her way clear to the skies? ‘Oh, yes,’
she exclaimed, ‘I do; but my pain is so great that
my hope sometimes feels weak.’ On the next
inorning it was evident that she was fast sinking,
and from the nature of her disease she had great
difficulty of speech; and at half-past four o’clock
on Friday, the 12th of May, her peaceful spirit
took its flight from the sorrows of the world to
appear in the presence of its Saviour and God.
Truly we may say, ‘‘All flesh is as grass, and all
the glory of man as the flower of grass.”’
‘. May that power and grace which sustained
the deceased, bear up the surviving husband, '
and may his trust continue alone in God.

C...H
Enfield, N. C., May 18th, 1848,

P. S.—Let me)say to the relatives and friends
of the deceased, that the funeral sermon will be{
preached at Bradford’s chapel, on the 2d Sabbath
in June, commencing at 11 o'clock. (. F. HH.
