DIED, at her late r. sidence in Whining
ton, on Sunday last, after short illness oc-
casioned by a fall, ELIZABETH HEM
PHIL, rclict of the late William Hcmphill
of this place. She had been from infancy
to the age OF fourscorc years resident OF
this Borough, and for more than so years a
member OF the Presbyterian church. In
I'll disabled by the infirm,ics Of age, un-


less detained by sickness, she was a regular
vIstant of the sanctuary, and adorned reli-
gion otherwise by a consistent walk and con-
versaton. She wasnot only anxious to observe
the Sabbath, attend the Sanctuary and enjoy
the means of grace forherse!f, but by regularly
sending her carriage for some of her friends,
she kindly administered to the inhrmities OF
those who would otherwise have been kept
from the house of God. Her charities to
the poor were frequent, liberal, and will be
long remembered. Her children and grand
children can witness to the affectionatc ten
dcrness of her heart, and large circle of
friends found her uniformly kind, sympa-
thising and steadfast. Her head having
been principally affected by her fall, she was
not permitted to enjoy the full exercise of
her reason during the last days of her life,
and consequently did not make as distinct
Expressions of her religious feelings, at that
time, as her friends might have deemed de-
sirable. But the evidence on which we rest
our confidence of her present happy state, is
that of long life spent in the service of her
Redeemer While she endeavorcd consc-
entiously to obey all his precepts, she relied
for Justification, not on the merits of her own
morality, but OH the perfect obedience of
her Surety and Saviour She depended for
expiation, not on any Offerings of her own,
but on the atoning blood of Jesus Christ.
