In these days of skeptical criticism
and discussion respecting the truths
and facts of the Christian revelation
as embOdiedIin the Christian creed
and the Christian law of duty, 1t is
helpful and uplifting to be brought
face to FACE. in a way in which death
alone ever brings us, with a life
whose ideals were living facts, whose
character was marked by profound
faith. whose devotion was Unceasing
and beautiful-quietly, with affeC-
tons blessed contact.
Mrs VIM E Anderson passed last
Sunday morning before daybTeak,
into the paradise % God. On the
Lords day, the day of rest, She en-
tered into rest and now in the church
expectant she looks forward to that
heavenly crown which awaits her, re-
newing the broken intercourse of
earth with dear ones gone on before,
waiting to greet those left behind as
one by one they cross the river.
Her life was just one of those mas
terful testimonies to the power of
Christ and His resurrection in human
life, which transcend the liberalism

which life hid with Christ in God"
supplies, as distinguished from the
cold forms of theological and schol-
astical history In "quietness and
confidence" was her strength. She
realized deeply the demands and du-
ties of the Christian profession. while
her every effort was to try to do her
full duty as she saw it. Trained in
a religious home, born of a family OF
historical position in the Episcopal
church, she had a clean insight into
that manner of life which the shorter
CatechiSm teaches and which has
been the bulwark of our Anglo7Saxon
civilization She mingled little with
the outside world. caring little for the
functions and fashions of social life
she seemed ever to feel thoroughly
that wOman's sphere, her kingdom
was the home, where tenderness and
love and service and consideration for
others. formed the substance o. that
Christian life of woman. which to
many of Us is the dear ideal of what
a woman should be.
SteadfaSt in her attention to the
outward duties of her life, she seemed
always to be growing in the things

ency had 10 attraction for her, as
she moved in blessed unconscious
