the grace of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. She had a loving
and genial disposition which de-
lighted itself in scattering kind
nesses among all with whom she
came in contact. She had a
genuine reverence for old people,
whom she delighted to serve; the
children she drew to her by that
subtle attraction that we recog-
nize in true hearts, even when we
cannot wholly explain it. She
was popular in girlhOod and in
womanhood, winning the conf
dence and love of all.
AS a student she was always
CHEEKY, good-natured, and happy
shedding kindness wherever
she appeared. She took her part
| in the various college activities.
For several years she was amen
Der of the useful BainOnian
Quartette, and was always a
member of the college choir and
chorus.
Iva became a Christian in early
youth. She united with the nj.
E. Church, South, in Maryville,
on Jan. oath, 1904, where her
membership remained until after
her marriage, when it was trans
ferred to the Presbyterian Church
of Mount Sterling, Illinois, Of
which church her husband was
pastor. While still a schoolgirl
she was teacher of a class of
| little folks in the Sabbath-school;
she sang in the choir; and she
was active in the Epworth League
and in the other work of the
| church. In the EpWorth League
| she learned much about the power
of prayer, and often spoke of the
help she had there received.
While she was teaching, she
J e ltered zealously into the religious
| life of the schools and the neigh
borhoods where she was working.
At Hattieville, South Carolina,
she was teacher of the Young
| Mems Bible Claas.
Upon her marriage and her
entrance upon the responsible
ties that came to her as mistress
of the manse, she threw herself
heartily into the work Of her
husbands church. She immedi-
ately won the confidence and re-
spect of the older people, while
the little folks rallied around her
and claimed her as their teacher
and special friend. She organized
a Junior Christian EndeaVor, and
this organization is going on with
its work, even since she has beer
away from it. She was an active
member of the Women's Mis-
sionary society. She showed
special tact and aptitude in look
ing up those in the community
who were neglected by others
and in bringing them under the
influence of the church and O.
the Savior. Her favorite Psalm
was the Twenty-Third, the Shep
, herd Psalm; and her brief service
, as a minister's wife partook large
ly of the shepherding spirit
Since this was the case, it is no
to be wondered at that she wa
much beloved by the people O
the community and of the church
Such in briefest outline was tn
life of her whose mortal franz

ious providence she has been call
