SIMONS.--Mrs. Mary C. Simons, wife of Rev. Darius Simons of Northern New York Conference, was born in Warren, Herkimer County, New York, March 10, 1805, and peacefully passed away to her home in heaven from the residence of her daughter in Washington, D. C., on the 10th of September 1872. In 1829, under the ministry of Father Whipple, she was happily converted to God, and very soon united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in the Village of Herkimer. To the day of her death she was devoted to the church of her early choice, and was ever a faithful attendant on the class-meeting and prayer-meeting, and other regular services of God's house. In all these means of grace as well as in the private ones, she took especial delight. February 12, 1832, she was married to Brother Simons, then a member of the Oneida Conference, and for forty years she shared with him the joys and sorrows, toils and triumphs of the itinerancy, with unmurmuring fidelity, greatly aiding her companion in his responsible work, and by her wise economy and admirable taste, she made the itinerants home a scene of comfort and refinement. During this long itinerant career, she made many precious friends, with whom her memory will long remain fragrant. Her illness was typhoid fever, and terminated in one week. Her reason remianed clear, with slight interruptions, to the last. A few hours before she passed away, her husband said, "Have you a sweet trust in the Savior?" She replied with a smile and an emphasis never to be forgotten, "Oh yes, oh yes." When she saw the end had come, she gave her dear one the parting kiss, and fell asleep in Jesus, leaving on the much loved features a sweet natural expression of countenance, and kind hands bore her away to "Glenwood," to await the resurrection morn, and the longed for union within the Jasper walls. I ought for the glory of God to mention the fact that in February, 1843, in a revival of great power and success that occurred in Candor, Tioga County, New York where they were then stationed, God graciously sanctified wholly a large number of precious souls, and among that number was Sister Simons. A very special baptism of the Holy Ghost, and a marvellous application of the cleansing blood, in which many shared, occurred in a prayer-meeting held in the parsonage parlor. This was a crowning scene of that remarkable revival in which the blessed doctrine of entire sanctification was set forth with marvelous power by the ministers, and believed in by the church to its great success in leading many very hardened sinners to the cross. The great blessing Sister Simons there obtained, she retained until accepted into the blood-washed family of heaven. My dear Brother Simons, and the sons and daughters of her you loved so well, and miss so much, your trust in Jesus will in a little while bring you to her home of love. God grant you the union of the skies.
