Lefever. - At Lampeter, Pa., Dec 31, 1915, Sister Anna Herr, oldest daughter of Bro. Frank S. and Sister Hettie Herr Lefever, entered into rest after a lingering illness, aged 25 y. 3 m. 9 d. Brief services were held from the home Jan. 4, 1916, by Pre. Frank M. Herr, and at the Mellinger M. H. by Pre. Abram Brubaker. Text, Job 14:10. She is survived by her parents, 3 brothers and 3 sisters. At the age of 16 Anna accepted her Savior and remained a faithful follower of her Lord. For several years a pupil and later a teacher in the Sunday school of the Brick Church, she had endeared herself to many friends to whom the sweet influence of her virtuous life will ever be an inspiration to purer and nobler lives. Her quiet, unassuming nature as she moved among her associates, and her patience in intense suffering, gave evidence that she counted life not her own, but as a precious trust to be employed in the service of her Master. There was no fear of death; she had trusted the great Pilot of her soul, and to such it is only a quiet crossing of the bar, to see the morning of eternal glory break on the ocean of eternity. Could her last prayers be audible to human ears, they would have been like this:
"I leave the world without a tear
Save for the friends I hold so dear,
To heal their sorrows Lord, descend,
And to the friendless prove a friend,
The hour of my departure's come,
I hear the voice that calls me home,
Now O my God! let trouble cease,
And let thy servant die in peace."
