1t is difficult for one to speak of Mrs.
Stocksdales virtues. of the esteem in which
she was held by the community, of her work
in the several churches, without seeming to
be ELUSIVE. Her life was one of beautiful
purity. While yet very young she became
christian and, as the days came and went
it was her delight to ego about doing good,
as did her Master, whose she was and whom
she served" The same sweet winsomeness
which she showed in health she evidenced
in her last sickness, never once complaining
but bearing all with supreme faith in the
One, who, though he leads by dark valleys
always gives strength as the day. 1t was
sufficient for her to know that God was lead
ing her.
