, A Consacrntsd Life.

There lately died in New York city one
of the most useful women the world has ever
known.
No minister of the gospel, no Christian
philanthrOpist in any land, has held such a
position in the field of Christian labor as Mrs.
Thomas G. DOremus, who for more than fifty
years was warm supporter, not only of be-
nevolent institutions at home, but her large
heart took in the whole world.
"Scarcely name among the living could
stir so many pulses as hers" All over the
world hearts have been saddened and eyes
suffused with tears as the sad tidings of the
death of this Christ,ike one has reached
them. One truly says:
''The missionaries of all names and church
es, whose comfort she watched over with min
utest supervision up tO'the very hour of their
quitting our shores, as with the tenderest love
of mother for her outward bound child
these, in their scattered homes, in Greece, in
India, in China and Japan, and among the
islands Of the sea, will miss and mourn for her.
No less deeply pierced with an abiding sense
of loss are thousands who, through successive
years in our own land, have drawn from her
inspiration and stimulus and refreshment,
whether in the societies she organized, or in
her hospitsble home.
"The prisoner in her cell, the sufferer in
the hospital ward, or in the home of poverty,
and many others of the great multitude who,
in this trsnsitory life, are in trouble, sorrow,
need or any other adversely will miss the
lighting up of their sad surroundings by her
gentle presence with its unfailing sympathy
and service. The rich and the poor unite in
common grief, and in one common tribute Of
reverent love for her who suffered no barri
ers of class or distance to intercept her Christ.
like bene6cence, but in far higher sense
than was known to the heather poet, "count
ed nothing human alien to her"
Says another:
"To those who did not know personally
the sphere of her usefulness, her energy
perseverance, prudence and loving kindness
her self denial aud sacrifice and success, tht
language of simple truth will be read ikt
the extravaganza of partial eulogy. To those
who saw, admired and loved her, as the mos
: remarkable example of Christian activity ant
usefulness, who have wondered that human
weakness could be endowed with the strength
of will and purpose to accomplish what sh
performed, any description approaching tn
truth will be received as failing to do justiC
to the character and works of this remsrkabl
! woman.
! "Mrs. Doremus often said that her frs
! interest in the cause of Foreign Mission
dated from 1912, when, as child, her moth
= er would take her to meetings held by her
6 self and few friends, Mrs. Isabella Graham
# Mrs. DiVie Bethune and others, to pray 70
the conversion of the world.

FoR THE CESrsA1 PRESBYTERIAN.
MRS. DoREMUs.

The Central Presbyterian did, We believe
at the time Of her death, publish notice
Mrs. Doremus. But the writer has beef
so impressed by more extended sketch JUS
met with, of her cousecrated life " of re
msrkable benevolent activity and usefulness
as well suited to quicken the zeal of others
that he ventures to suggest its insertion II
the columns of the Central. Personal &C
uuaintance with her of course has enhanced
our interest in this biography, but no one car
read it without being profoundly affected
by it.
1t was while the writer was student in
Princeton Theological Seminary, that ne frs'
became acquainted with Mrs. Doremus. Il
happened in this way: COlportage, fol
the distribution of religious books and tracts
was then a new thing in this country, and
the Secretary of the American Tract So
aS;stEg lss -cenOAiSsSS be. idea. of -
Theological students in the work duriS Meir
vacations. He accordingly came over to
Princeton to solicit volunteers. Two of US
offered our serVices-one of them, Ansley D.
White, who almost ever since he left the
Seminary, year or two later, has been a
pastor in Trenton. We were sent to "The
Pines {" of New jersey belt of country
lying along the coast, and occupied chiefly
by charcoal burners, wood-cutters and fisher
men. There we spent two months and a
half in genuine, primitive, and lsborious col
portage After We had been a month at
work, we were Joined by young Robert Og-
den Doremus, since then, and still, the emf
nent Chemist, Prof. Doremus, of New York
City, son of the subject of this notice, and
whose father, (still living was an active
member of the Tract Society. Upon our re-
turn from " The Pines," he introduced us to
his fathers family; and the writer we'll re-
members the personal appearance Of Mrs.
Doremus at that time; in middle life, of
slender figure and delicate appearance, yet
erect, and very alert in all her movements |;
her face and voice very pleasing, and her
manner exceedingly cordial and kind. The
year the writer sailed for China,
and he can bear witness to the lively interest
which Mrs. Doremus took in such depar-
lures. She accompanied US to the ship,
leaving with us box of delicacies, to be en-
jOyed on the voyage. Last year, being in
New York, after long interval, we called
to see her. How changed The weight of
years had bent low that slender form but
the sweetness and benevolence of the aged
face, beneath the crown of soft. silvery hair,
were indescribable. Her step, too, was still
quick, and her conversation full of viVacity.
Of course il was sn abaut missions.
But this is getting to be too long an intro
luction; only we wished to awaken in the
mind of every reader, something of the per-
Ional interest that we ourselves feel in the
sketch of one of the most remarka-
bic and most useful of Christian women
She was blessed with eminent talents and
opportunities, but like conservation will
make any one eminently useful.
