Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Mother: An Address, Delivered in the First Church, Brighton, Feb; 14, 1855, at the Funeral of Mrs. Susanna (Park) Champney, Who Died Feb; 10, in Her 95th Year; With an Appendix, Containing a Genealogical Notice of the Champney and Park Families The sentiments of the hymn which has just been sung harmonize with the life and character of the venerable mother and friend whose remains lie before us. It was her happiness, especially, to see God in all the experiences of life; to own his hand in her blessings; and in earthly bereavements and losses to hear his call. And while a spirit of filial piety ever possessed her heart, while love and good-will towards all around her marked her actions, and while truth adorned her lips, the aged servant of Jesus and Of God had no fear for the closing scene of life, nor did she dread the appointed road. AS her earthly labors drew to an end, She found comfort in reviewing the past; and through her meek trust in her Heavenly Father, and in Jesus Christ her Saviour, She was en abled to triumph over death. That aged form comes into this house of our wor ship to be for the first time an unconscious Sharer in the religious services of the place. She loved the church of Christ. Its hymns and prayers, its hal lowed rites, its wonted meditations, were dear to her heart. For the last time that aged form comes in hither, as if bearing its final witness to the realityand efficacy of that Christian faith which has been the support and solace and exceeding great reward of her lengthened life.
