SUSAN HARRIS HOLMAN. Born the 10Th.
Of October. 1906. in Hanover county, Virginia.
Never has harp been tuned to sweeter. sad
der minstrelsy. than to praise the goodness of
a gentle being who has passed from among us.
Another soul to-day is rejoicing in Heaven,
another casting her crown at the feet Of the
Saviour. and saying thou art worthy to re-
ceive glory. and honor. and power for thou
hast created all things. and for thy pleasure.
they are and were created Well do we re-
member asking her when almost in the very
dream and delirium of death, If she were
ready to die. "0h no, not afraid, she replied,
in accents mild, her cOuntenance radiant with
joy. Her mission on earth is Ger, and the
pages in her life's history, are brighter than
jewels that shone on beauty's brow, and
which are now woven into q crown of immor-
tai glory. Hers was the home Of the Christian
mother whose genial influence extended
throughout her family. circle-whose gentle
lection, n Christian in the daily walks OF life.
And what are all the jewels to the beuaty OF
such life? r-f r.. -rsH
We know God took the life he gave.
We know that now with him is she, ..4
But she seems nearer at her grave,
To US than elsewhere we may be,
We know her home is Heavens bright
sphere, Civ
Where angels dwell and seraphs sing;
But oft to those who loved her here,
She may return on viewless wing.

rather than it should stand above susp picion and
above even mslignity, determined some time

the present, give you my word that have sd-
hered rigidly to such determination, and have
not permitted myself TO use anything in the
shape of alcoholic drinks. | propose to main
tain the same attitude so long as | may be
charged with any administration Of public af-
fairs nor do | arrogste to myself any special
credit for 20 doing. It is no matter Of effort TO
forego indulgence that may prove detrimental to
