more than fifty years member OF the

only two children. one dying in intan'
cy and the other, son, is now living
III the city of Memphis, Tenn. She
was practically a mother to a large
family Of brothers and sisters and to
her grandchildren. Mrs. Denton was
endowed with strong mind which
was we'll cultivated. This made her
a charming friend and associate and a
wise and safe counsellor to those
younger than herself. Her letters
were beautifully written and we're mod
els OF the most charmingly eplstolary
correspondence. Few women were
so gifted in felicitous expression IN
ink on paper. She was all that wife

ing no toll and no personal self sacrl-
6ce for the good Of those whom she
loved with self deyouring devotion:
AS neighbor and friend she was well
known and greatly loved by all who
come in contact with her in the social
relation Of life. AS a christian she
was earnest constant devout and al
ways consistent, never swervlng from
the right in the slightest degree. She
knew the holy scriptures from her
youth up, and knew them we'll. Few
women were better acquainted with
the text Of the Divine word. She was
uncommonly we'll read in the standard
theological authors Of Wesley on
Americanism. She knew what she
believed and whom she believed and
why. This gave her strong chris
tian character. For many years she
was the active and efficient leader OF
the Woman's Missionary Society OF

to 60 she was at Sunday School and
she was one of the best Of teachers.

at the preaching hours and she was an
attentive, appreciativc and inspiring
nearer. The glow Of her face was d
good index to the quality and JUNCTION
Of the sermon. The after talk with the
pastor was at once encouraging and
suggestive. The last years Of her lite
were years Of suffering and trial, but
they only served to ripen her for the

suddenly, but she was ripe and ready
for the change. She is at rest in

Messrs. I. c. Strauss. H. c. Hayns-
