come to the kingdom for such time
as this. ...... And so | will go in
to the king. which is not according to
law and if | perish | perish And
Kuth said intreat me not to leave thee
or to return from following after thee:
for whether thou goest will go: and
where thou lodgest | will lodge; thy
people shall be my people. and thy
God MY Cod. .... SHE HATH
DONE WHAT SHE COULD"
The scripture quotation was from
Ps. %. The bible used for the SER
vice was the one presented to the Stars
by Hugh A. Knowles for the largest
delegation at the revival services. This
was a fitting dedication of the Book.
The Pastor said in part: wish
from the three fold message of our
texts to remind you of the three fold
usefulness of our sisters life.
Patriotism to her country. fidelity to
the best interests of her city, wonder
full allegiance to all the interests of the
home.
But above all Unswerving Loyalty to
her church and her Christ.
Mrs. Knox was ever loyal to the
best interests of her nation and city,
rejoicing in their victories and weep
ing in their defects She was faithful
to her duties in the many special or
carnations to which she belonged, but
in it all she never neglected the duties
of the home. It's comfort was not
alone for her loved ones but like tho
house of old, there was room for the
servant of God to find rest and refresh-
ment from the conflict. to find new
strength for the great tasks as an am-
basador of Christ. As the Master
found rest at Bethany in the home of
of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. so many
of the disciples in this day have found
rest at the Knox home. Jesus said Of
Mary. she hath done what she could
and we repeat this sentiment over the
remains of our sister
Could she speak today she would
say. In MY many interests none stands
as high as my Church and my Christ.
Forget your unbelief, your strife in the
face of this sudden call and meet us
as we gather at the river.
