A beautiful memorial to a noble Wo- |
man will be maintained henceforth in
the little city of Pasadena, Cal, the
home of the late Helen Peabody, |
founder of the Western College for
Women at Oxford Ohio. Miss Peabody,
who died recently, provided in her will
that her Pasadena residence, one of the
loveliest in that lovely town, should be
used henceforth as "a resting place for
weary Christians, either from the home
or foreign field, and is to be called the
House of Rest" For its maintenance
about $4,000 ha been set aside Miss
Peabody willed all her other property
for the advancement of missions under
