a few days age, a. minister Of

a woman who had been one Of his
best loved parishioners and in a
voice trembling with emotion. and
tlled with the tears which were so
near his eyes, he falteringly utter
ed the words; vShe hath done
what she could"
She hath done what she could
It was great tribute the dead,

What more, what better could
be said of any woman that those
few words; She hath done what

could truthfully be spoken. You

Can't you reflect a minute and

have met who is never found want
ing when a need arises Some
woman who is always on hand
when there is trouble and sickness
and death2 The woman who
never waits to be sent for, but
seems to divine when she is needed
and slips gently into the stricken

settled, and like an angle hovers

TO the physical wants Of the one

Of the other2
This woman may be poor-she
usually is-in purse, but she is
overhowing with the riches that
are far better than gold and silver,
the wealth Of a tender heart and a
far reaching humanity that takes
IN all who claim her services.
Hers are the hands that turn the
pillow and raise the sick, hers the
untired feet which never flag or
grow weary day and night, hers
the gentle, sweet voice which bids
the dying to ito fear not, for ! am
with you, aud murmurs to those
who mourn. Thy rod and Shy
staff, they comfort me.

could do more2
And when her own peaceful end
comes and her worn hands lie
helpless, and her voice grows lower
