who has been so faithful in attendance
since our league was organized. think
Mary was never absent unless detained by
sickness or too far from home to attend.
She al ways seemed SO willing to take the
part assigned her. Once her voice was
lifted in childlille simplicity in prayer at
the opening of our meeting, and just
three weeks ago tonight she led our
meeting for the first time and we little
thought that it was to be the last time.
Shall we miss her 3? But we shall miss
that bright earnest face from our Sun
day school, where we have long known
her as a most faithful scholar, though we
cannot understand why one who was so
helpful oIs in our league, so faithful in
our Sunday school and SO full of promise
should be}tallen from our midst We be-
