The subject OF the paper is I'm the Valley
Of the Shadow of Death" IL deals with
the thoughts. impressions, and FEELINGS oi

She introduces her subject by writing OF
the experiences Of a clergyman and seVe-
raj others who had almost died ana were
brought back to ne almost by ar lhi forns
and heard the voices OF relatives ana
friends who had gone before.
Passing on to her own experiences, she
said that she was taken Ill last spring,
while locked In room In the Blaine
mansion. at Washington. She felt that
she was failing. and realized that some
thing very serious had seized her Her
most intense feeling was the shock tnat
her friends would receive when they
broke open the door and found her dead
upon the floor, she felt that the shock
would be lessened TO them II they should
una her lying in a natural position upon

side H.
She realized the situation when her
friends found her. and could hear them
as they spoke about her, although APP
parentiy she was unconscious. Then came
a long blank. that lasted how long. she
knew not. At times she would partially
recover consciousness, and wonder
whether she were dead or not. Her
brothers, Stanwood and Brown Dodge,
both of whom are dead, one OF them
dying less than year ago. appeared 10
her. and conversed with naturalness. She
sometimes felt that she would like "a
speak and inquire II she was really IN
the other world but found II impossible
to enunciate syllables. She felt no espe-
cial sorrow In leaving life and laying down
lis burdens. but she had a poignant sym
pathy for her relatives and friends. whom
she knew would mourn long and deeply
at her death.
''Do not have horror Of death" was
her thought: 1T is blessed thing"
