loss or our love and admiration for
her character is difficult. For many
years she was a faithful worker and
worshiper in the church she loved
SO well. Her interest. wise counsel
and lofty ideals were still an inspira-

she could no longer attend the meet

with all that is pure and beautiful.
Her lovely christian character, full
OF charity and understanding, loyal

to her loved ones call forth the great

Her charm and grace of manner,

tenderness for the innocence of youth
were drawn to her.
