Miss Zeruiah Foster -
Died at Chute's Cove, May 2nd, aged 24 years, Miss Zeruiah Foster, leaving her parents and family connections deeply afflicted by her sudden and early removal. Although Miss Foster had not made that public profession of religion which the gospel demands of those that love the Saviour, yet at the early age of ten years she thought that her heart was renewed by divine grace, and from that time she dated that love of God's people, which grew stronger, and manifested itself more clearly in the last year of her life. She remarked to a friend that she had made up her mind soon to unite herself with the church. The few days previous to her death, she was unable to make known her feelings, except by signs. These were very satisfactory to her friends. The peaceful state of her mind as death approached, leaving the impression on all those who visited her that Christ was formed in her soul the hope of glory. Her remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse of relatives and friends, yet sorrowing not as those without hope. The writer improved the occasion from Ecclesiastes xii, 1. May the Lord comfort the afflicted.
