Her seventy-seventh 5irthday.
Sunday. February IL, was the sew
enty-seventh anniversary Of the birth
Of Mrs. st. Ledger White. one OF the
oldest and most beloved christian wo-
men In the city. Some of her friends
conceived the idea of making this the
happiest birthday of her life. and the
zeal with which the summons to this
birthday party" was answered was
Indeed a beautiful tribute to oeauti
ful life. The room was filled with
friends and a short religious service
was held. consisting of songs and APP
propriate remarks by Rev. ]. W. Cher
ry. After this the guests offered con-
gratulations and love, and each car
ried also a token of love. as they
would have done had the honoree been
seven instead of seventy and seven.
Seven years would have received the
presents with glee and laughter; sew
enty and seven received them in ST.
lence and in tears; for seventy and
seven looks not on the beauty OF the
gift but 1t Is the heart of the donor

years have taught her to appreciate
love, the gift OF the heart.

service. inspired by beautiful soul.
The day will always be rich In mem |
cries for her and her devoted husband.
Her life battles. which have been
many, are almost over; she has been
victor over all, and the radiance of
the higher and perfect lie has even
now enveloped her, and her declin-
Ing years are as a halo ofrgiory.
