by profound religious experience,
known only to myself, to enter upon the
duties of the ministry. 1t was made
possible for me 20 do 80 in way that
then seemed and now appears 10 me di-

such a way, would have led me to
preach, for environment. education and
personal timidity were all against me-"
Mrs. Lathrop's sermons. while pot
models of diction and rhetorical style,
are practical, powerful. persuasive and
so touched with pathos, earnestness and
occasional glints of humor as to be
unique.
Bishop Simpson, Of the Methodist
church, after listening TO her, said: "God
certainly has called and anointed our sis
ter to preach his gospel" 1t is Carlyle
who says: Let hun who would move
and convince others be first moved and
convinced himself" 1t is undoubtedly
due to the fact that her own nature is
deeply stirred that Mrs. Lathrop is able
TO hold the attention of vast audiences.
TO move them profoundly and with en-
during effect. Dealing with every day
interests, and not far fetched exegesis,
she declares life rather than belief
Divining the hearts needs she reveals
compassion, sympathy and forgiveness
In 1865, while teaching in the public
schools of Detroit, she met and married
DR.. c. c. Lathrop, who was surgeon in
the Ninth Michigan cavalry. Until this
time she had been member Of the Pres
byterian church, but after her marriage
she joined the Methodist church with
her husband Mrs. Lathrop has from
year to year held local preachers IL
cense from the conference of the Metho-
dist church, but has never been ordained.
Although she has given her first and
best efforts to her pulpit work. she has
accomplished great deal in other lines
When she was II years old she began TO
contribute to the press, and has written
more or less ever since. Much of her
work has been widely copied, particu-
larly poem. The Gead March, which
is favorite with elOcutionists.
Mrs. Lathrop was largely instrumental
in establishing a state institution In
Michigan for the reform of fallen wo-
men. The pitiful needs Of this class ap-
pealed strongly to her ardent and tender
nature. and in 1873 she began T. agitate
the subject of making some especial
provision for them. She gave herself no
rest until the legislature of Michigan had
appropriated $50. 900 for the purpose If
establishing an institution at Adrian.
Mrs LathrOp's husband isin sympathy
with her in all her work. She is the
mistress Of charming household. which
consists Of two adopted nieces and her
mother. who is now well on i'm the nine-
ties. She is at present president Of the
Michigan state organization Of the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance union and
is devoting herself to temperance and
evangelical work.
