In adding some further tribute to the memory OF
this dear mother in Israel, it Is not difficult to
speak of her great excellence. In her was COM
bned almost every quality calculated to win the es-
TEEN and affection Of her many friends and aequain-
I
remarkable for her energy, activity and usefulness.
From early life she was q devoted member of the
Presbyterian church for whose ministers and mem.
bers she always cherished very warm affection.
In her religious experience there was much more Of
fear and trembling than of JOY and rejoicing. she
often spoke of the clouds that intercepted her spirit
ual VISION but seldom of any delightful views of the
objects of her. faith. She longed to see "the day
break and the shadows fee away" A few years
ago when deep religious interest was pervading
the church in Lewsburg, she entered fully into the
spirit of the work, though not able to attend the
| public services She wrote the following request
and sent it to the prayer meeting "An aged mother
requests the prayers of Gods people for the CONVEX
sion of her grand children for the revival of true
religion in the hearts of her children, and that she
may realize greater nearness of her Saviour. "
/ Every part of this petition seemed to have been
granted. All of her grand children that had come
to years of reflection, SIX in number, were in short
time hopefully converted, her children were rejoic
ing in God and she felt that Christ had indeed come
very near.
Even the last years of her life were spent in use
funess and happiness. She studied the Bible, read
devotional books, gave wise counsel to the young
instructed her grand children in the ways of right
eousness and shed the light of beautiful example
around her. "Those that be planted in the house
of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age"
