MISS LILLIAN BEYER.
Miss Lillian Beyer, who taught in the Warner Institute at Knoxville, Tenn., last year, under this Association, died on November 29, and was laid to rest December 2. A week before her death she had every appearance of good health. She had secured a position as city missionary in the neighborhood in which she used to live in New York, and was expecting to begin her life work there on the very day on which she was buried. But a few days before she was attacked with a violent fit of coughing and grew rapidly worse, falling asleep two days later, on her twenty-fifth birthday.
Her pastor writes: "The funeral was held in the chapel on Sunday evening. A great company gathered, and I trust that impressions were received which will bear fruit in the coming years. It is our prayer that those who did not yield to her life and her teaching may bow before this mysterious Providence. While preparing for her life work, Miss Beyer had done considerable missionary labor, and a bright prospect was before her—shall I not rather say is before her."
