His sun has gone down while it was yet day, but the rainbow of hope and promise sheds light be- yond the tomb, and we hear a voice saying, " What I do, thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter. " In the month of February, of this year, 1851, there was a fire in our neighborhood, so near our house, that it was necessary to get our twelve children instantly in readiness to leave our dwelling, in case the wind set toward us. But God mercifully spared our Chinese home, and the school exp...erienced no inter- ruption. CHIKESE FUNERALS. 175 In the same month an infant child of the matron, a year old, died ; and we took care to have the funeral services performed in a Chris- tian manner. The babe was laid out in a dress of red flannel. We assembled in the school-room and Dr. Bridgman addressed the children in a few words suited to the occasion. We have had several opportunities of wit- nessing Chinese funerals. The body of the deceased is dressed in the best suit of clothino- the same as in life, from the cap down to the shoes.
