DEATH OF MRS. JAMES
--------
Deceased possessed one the loveliest Christian characters among the vast throng of professed worshippers of this city. Her piety was the result of a simple, child-like faith which tinged all her words and works. Although her malady was one of the most painful character, and her reasons for desiring health and happiness abundant, she never murmured, and when the end came she was resigned and willing to submit to His will. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of a large circle of sorrowing friends.
