not that or early remembrance. Ifm9 and disease. the battle of life, had worked a sad transformation. but memory brings back all that is es- sential in the life,-the nightly VI gils at the bedside of sick or suffer ing childhood, days and nights of ceaseless concern for others near and dear, patience with youthful faults and follies, and constant and cease less impelling toward that which was truest and best in life for this life and that which is to come.
 Speaking for ourselves alone, she loved her children as only mother can love, as evidenced by a life of devotion and sacrifice. Yet with a large heart she took in others than her kin.

Mere words are hollow and meaningless; only heightened and inspired life can show it's truest appreciation. and as the years sue ceed themselves and the memory re- mains. the purpose of that consecrat- ed life is revealed in ever-increasing force.

Just what part the silent and mysterious fr. tf~ ,NI. fI, fla. never be realized, but it's influence is as certain as life itself, and had she lived for her influence upon those of her kin and those around her alone, her life would not have been lived n vain.
