Mrs. Mary E. Lewis. wife of Capt. Russell
Lewis, entered into her rest Saturday morning
May 18th, at the age of 81 years and months.
1t is very fitting-as it must be pleasing to the
many who knew her-that some especial
recognition be made of life SO beautiful and
useful as hers has certainly been. Quiet and
unobtrusve and thinging of herself even less
highly than she might properly have done, she
delighted in carrying her messages of sympathy
and her gifts IF love to those who were in
need and in distress. Faithful in all the work
of the church with which she was connected,
she was especially interested in the poor and
suffering; among such she was best known
and their mouths arc full of her praises.
The blessing of many whose hard lot she has
made easier are upon her. Though remarkably
devoted to her own home and to the interests
of those committed to her there. she still
Unidentified herself With most Of the bene-
VIOLENT and Christian enterprises in which godly
women are engaged in the city, as well as with
works of charity and missionary operations
abroad. Having attained, as the natural
result OF life such as hers, to sweet and
unwavering trust in the Saviour. she endured
severe pain without murmuring, and when
she knew that the end must be near she
received the fact with joy, and really preferred
to depart and be with Christ. With wonder
that her services should be regarded as worthy
of the Masters recognition, she has doubtless
already heard Him say to her. Inasmuch as you
did It unto the least of these, you did it unto
me- and in this she has found her exceeding
great reward.
In addition to the memory of one SO noble
and true which must be their chief comfort,
those who are so deeply afflicted in her loss will
have the deep sympathy of all who learn of
their sad bereavement P,
