FLAMING SWORD - DECEMBER 28, 1889 [p.1]
"IN MEMORIAM.-- Mrs. Sarah E. Paterson, Treasurer of the Society
Arch-Triumphant, and faithful co-worker on the GUIDING STAR, has suspended her
career on earth. She passed away from our visible presence Dec. 19. 1889,
after a long and unmistakable devotion to her espoused cause.
She did not quite consummate in the body, the matured fruit of the tree of
life, but her culture in the laws and doctrines of immortality, carried over
into the domain of spirit, makes her the GUIDING STAR of that spiritual sphere
now ready to descend into the body of the resurrection.
Did we not know that she continues with us in a realm demanding her presence
for the progress of our work, her departure would be an in-calculable loss.
We deeply sympathize with those, her earthly friends, who view her
departure and mourn her loss from the common orthodox conception, for they
mourn not as Koreshans.
