Another home filled with grief, and many a heart sorrow stricken on account of the death of such an amiable young lady as was the one of whom we are called upon to render this tribute of respect.
Miss IDA HARDIN was the daughter of a Missionary Baptist Preacher. She was born May 03, 1864; professed faith in Christ at the age of fifteen, and joined the Missionary Baptist Church at Scottsboro, Ala. Her father afterwards moved near Madison Station, Ala., Where she died on July 28, 1886, aged 22 years, 2 months and 26 days.
At the time of her death, she was a member of the Baptist Church of Madison, Ala., in which she lived a consistent and humble member to the day of her death. Oh, how she will be missed, both in the church and in the community. She was the idol of her many, many friends. She was an active, energetic worker in the Sabbath School and in the temperance cause. Her zeal for the interest of Church and Pastor was truly great. She, like Moses' sister, would hold up the hands of her Pastor with part of her money earned by teaching.
How sad it is for our young people to be taken from us, while they are just entering manhood and womanhood. It would be preferable with us, to give them up to the rude monster death, either in childhood or old age, but the will of the Lord be accomplished. The Savior said.. "Father I will that they be with me where I am." We here tender our deepest sympathies for the many relatives and friends who mourn their loss -- our loss is Heaven's gain.
"Dear sister, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel.
But 'tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrow's heal.
John Speer."
