From a residence of some length in Fran ,e she and her mother became greatly interested in the McAll mission, and porters in this country. To the presi dency of the local auxiliary of this mission she succeeded after the death of her mother; and the efficiency of this local branch is largely due to their devotion and enthusiasm. The annual meeting was held, at her re- quest, as usual, in the parlors of her home Monday, and its direction large ly given by suggestions that came from her sick room. Little did those who were thus gathered realize that this was to be her last public service on earth; but perhaps if she had had her choice this would have been what she would have desired
