A Tribute to the Late Miss E. II. Wallace

A Tribute TO the Late Miss T.. II. Wallace.
Emeline H. Wallace was born i'll Bar
net, Vt, March 18th, 1899. In child
hood her health was delicate, but an act
i've open air life developed her physical
strength so that she became large and
strong woman. This robustness extend
ed to her mental and spiritual nature.
Hers was the open hand, the open heart,
the open house, the open mind. For she
enjoyed giving far more than receiving;
she had "a heart at leisure from herself
to soothe and sympathize; she exercised
a large and Astounding hospitality and
seemed ever alert to learn new truths by
fresh experiences. April 4th, 1858, she
united with the Congregational church
in Barnet. This was no formal union
The interests OF the church and parish she
took into her heart OF hearts part OF her
very life And so it was until the very
end. MANY persons, ministers, teachers.
lecturers, friends, were welcomed to her
home. The well set table, the solictous
attention, which entered into every de-
tail which might minister to their com
tort, the social chat enlivened by her
keen sense of the ludicrous, all combined
to make these occasions long remem-
bered, and won her many friends. She
was model daug liter, a tender, sympa
thzng sister, a true friend. But this full
lite, crowded with kind deeds, was at
tackled by a dread disease. For two
years she kept the fatal secret from all
but one confidant, her only sister. And
when this sister fell victim to the same
malady, she nursed her with tireless de-
votion although that dark shadow was
upon herself. Her brave fight with dis
ease was marvellous. Over and over
again she submitted with cheerful cour-
age to the surgeons knife, sometimes
aided by anesthetics, sometimes not.
And when there was no more help from
surgery, still she seemed 70 smile Death
IN the face and rob him of his venom.
Up and about the house, caring for her
self until her release, with a ready ear for
everyone's interests, and never COM
plant or murmur, her end was peace.
Sunday, Dec. 25th, the day her Savior
was born, the day He burst the gates OF
Death, she entered life eternal.
She died. yet is not dead
re saw daisy on her tomb,
1t bloomed to de-she died to bloom,
her sum ner hath not sped.
She died, yet is not dead;
We saw her jewels all unset,
Yet God let fall a coronct
% crown her ransomed heao,
She died. yet is not dead
Through pCarlv gate and golden street
She went her way with shining feet;
Go yc and thither tread"
