Death has solemnized the events of the past week. Miss Myrtle Muley, of the Pacific Coast Mission, who has Inboured in Hangchow for some ars, was suddenly bereaved of her mother, 69 years of age, after a very short illness. Mrs, Olivia Muley, born in Ontario, Canada, but latterly residing in Vancouver, arrived in Hangchow last October, with the intention of spending a year with her daughter. Mrs. Muley: was greatly interested in the work of the mission and, while she did not understand the language, her presence greatly endeared her to the Chinese leaders and all with whom she came in contact.
A memorial service was held in the assembly hall conducted by the Fairclough, assisted by Rowe, Donaldson and Ufford, of the China sion, rendered one of Mrs. Milley's favourite hymns. A Chinese evangelist read a portion of the Scripture. Touching references were made to Mrs. Christian life, which was chai et as an out-pouring in sacrifice, obedience and perseverance. Her hope was sweet and strong, and she went through life ith the unfaltering lamp of faith.
She was buried on the Mokanshar Cemetry Hill amid the beautiful bamboos, the Chinese "Tree of life." Three daughters and a son are left to mourn the loss of a mother, called to hi service, where beyond these voices there is peace.
