dear ones, the stately mansion of the 
Father’s house, the beautiful home- 
land of friends and kindred and God. 
“ My Lord is in the Homeland, 
With angels bright and fair ; 
No sinful thing nor evil, 
Can ever enter there; 
The music of the ransomed 
Is ringing in my ears, 
And when I think of thy Homeland, 
My eyes are wet with tears. 
For loved ones in the Homeland 
Are waiting me to come 
Where neither death nor sorrow 
Invades their holy home: 
Oh, dear, dear native country! 
Oh, rest and peace above! 
Christ bring us all to the Homeland 
Of his eternal love.” 
These thoughts fittingly bring me 
to a subject which I know full well 
fills all your hearts this day. It is 
meet and right that from this pulpit 
should be spoken a few words in 
appreciation of one whose long, faith- 
ful and loving service to this church 
has been suddenly cut off by the 
coming of the Lord. Not words as 
from me, but words as from the con- 
secrated spirit of your pulpit repre- 
senting the consecrated hearts and 
lives of this church of God are laid as 
poor tribute on the memory of Miss 
Charlotte Brown. 
She was like Dorcas, “a woman 
full or good works and the alms-deeds 
which she did.” And today we speak 
of her, not as a fellow-citizen, not as 
a good business woman, both of which

qualities of life are worthy of eulogy, 
but in this church we speak of her as 
a sister, dearly beloved, one of our 
own family, whom the heavenly Father 
has bid come home. 
No words of ours can add to the 
charm and grace of her life amongst 
us. “And I heard a voice from 
heaven saying unto me, write, blessed 
are the dead which die in the Lord 
from henceforth ; yea, saith the spirit, 
that they may rest from their labors ; 
and their works do follow them.” 
The memory of her kindly life in 
our midst, her qualities of quick sym- 
pathy, great generosity, and wide 
interests, the ever courteous and 
Christ-like spirit of good will which 
she possessed always shall rise like 
incense in our thoughts to turn our 
minds to things above and to lead our 
souls to higher places of living. 
Peculiarly appropriate to her seem 
the words of the Apostle Paul, when 
he gives an injunction which her lips 
fulfils —‘‘ Be kindly affectioned one 
to another with brotherly love; in 
honour preferring one another; not 
slothful in business ; fervent in spirit, 
serving the Lord ; rejoicing in hope ; 
patient in tribulation ; continuing in- 
stant in prayer, distributing to the 
necessity of saints; given to hospi- 
tality.”

ticularly by the Christian community 
of this place, and very especially by 
this church of which she was a mem- 
ber. But the keenest sorrow and 
deepest loss came to her own immedi- 
ate family. To them our hearts go 
out in love and pity this day. As 
brothers and sisters we weep with 
them that weep. But we ‘sorrow 
not even as the rest which have no 
hope. For if we believe that Jesus 
died and rose again, even so them also 
that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God 
bring with him.” 
No angel of death has taken our 
sister from us. She went at the com- 
ing of her Lord, who says, “I will 
come and receive you unto myself,” 
and then chooses his own time for 
each. It is no strange place to which 
she has gone. It is home. And be- 
cause she has gone home, many of us 
will feel a stronger love for the 
Father’s house. ‘Be ye therefore 
ready also; for the Son of Man com- 
eth at an hour when ye think not.” 
“Let not your heart be troubled ; 
ye believe in God, believe also in me. 
In my Father’s house are many man- 
sions; if it were not so I would have told 
you. I goto prepare a place for you, 
and if I go and prepare a place for 
you, I will come again and receive you 
unto myself, that where I am there ye 
may be also.’ “ Because I live, ye 
shall live also.”
