IN MEMORY OF MRS. MARTHA
E. PATTISON.

Every true teacher uses examples
to explain and to prove his teach
ing Jesus Christ, the greatest
teacher who ever came into this
world, used this method, and He
uses it still He SAID of believers,
"Ye are the light of the world" 1t
is as followers of Christ exemplity
His teaching, that the world is con
WINGED Of truth. This highest hon
or which can belong to any one,
that of being witness for the Saw
ior, belongs pre-enlinently to Mrs.
Martha E. Pattison.
The promise of Jesus to every one
who through love receives His
word, is that he shall have an eN-
perience of the love and of the abid-
ing presence OF God, Uohn, l4;23)
Mrs. Pattison found this promise
true. She was through many years
an earnest and dilligent student Of
the bible. She became very famil-
lar with the word Of God and it was
full of meaning to her. God indeed
come to abide with her. AS an evil
denCe of this we mention few OF
the characteristics of her lite:
1st-She was able to testify to the
reality of her communion with God
1t was always a joy to her to speak
of religion, even i'll the midst OF
great weakness and suffering, God
was her stay. There was no fear
but a joyous anticipation of life to
come.
2nd-In spirit she was Christ-like
Unselfishness marked her life. She
was always concerned for the wei
fare of others. Like the Savior she
suffered for others through sym
pathy.
While remarkably kind, anG
charitable toward the faults Of 9th
ers, her religion was one in which
there was no tolerance of known
sin She was believer in the true
doctrine of holiness, which she eN
e1nplified.
4th-She was able by faith to say
concerning things yet unseen, 81
know in whom 1 have believed" l
was her delight to pay her VOWS il
the presence of Gods people.
