GALLAHUE.--Miss Lizzie M., daughter of the Rev. A. C. Gallahue, of New York Conferencce, was born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, March 8, 1843, when her father was stationed at East Liberty Methodist Episcopal Church, Sullivan County, New York, and died at Rhinebeck, New York, June 16, 1889. She was converted when under 12, and united with 86th Street Church (now Park Avenue), New York. She was an invalid for more than 27 years. Her disease was chronic rheumatism, which eventually affected the heart and terminated fatally. Her sufferings were intense, but she was always cheerful, trusting in the Lord. Her mind was bright and penetrating. She was familiar with the best authors, and delighted to talk on the great themes. Her death was a triumph of faith. "There are," she said, "three hymns that express my faith, hope, and desires--'My faith looks up to thee, "Rock of ages,' and 'Nearer my God, to thee'--the first more fully than either of the others. Christ is the foundation and corner-stone; the center around which my faith, hope, and desires cluster. The words of these hymns, with the words and music of 'Joyfully, joyfully, onward we move,' are continually running through my mind, and with these is blended angelic music. "What is the angelic music like?" her father asked. "I cannot describe it," she replied, "It is soft, distant, silvery-toned." The day before she died the music had come into her room. "What is it like?" was again asked. "I cannot describe it," she said. "It has a song touch. The music and words are new. They are beautiful." "My work is done," she said at last. "Some one is calling me. I must go. I want to go home, to my heavenly home, to see my Saviour. I am so insignificant and unworthy. I have done so little for the Lord. God and heaven seem so great." Having passed through a short paroxysm of pain, she exclaimed, "Beautiful! Beautiful." Her speech then failed, and she quietly passed from earth. Appropriate services were held at the home of her parents, Rhinebeck, on the afternoon of June 18. Addresses were made by her pastor, Rev. Walter A. Chadwick, and the Rev. Harrison Chase Humphrey, and her body was laid in the cemetery at Rhinebeck.
