MISS MARY PEARSON.

Many in Marietta knew and loved
her. She was president of the jun
ior Auxiliary and it's Educational
Secretary in this Diocese. She was
magnetic and lovable and filled with
the spirit of service, which is the
spirit of Christ. Her intensest hap
piness was when she could do some
thing to help someone else. One
must have known her intimately to
understand that There was no dis
play in what she did. Her last night
in Marietta was spent largely in
planning and pondering, hoping that
she might be of service. Through
her strong and magnetic personality
she was enabled to give inspiration
and strength to others.
This true daughter Of the King
has been called to the Higher SER
vice. To such, sudden call mat
tiers not; an unfinished life finds it's
completion in higher realm and a
wider sphere. What men call death
is but the opening of a door, a mere
incident in life. For us there is
grief, for her there is gladness.
Here she was ever Overlooking with
joyousness and her spirit of glad
ness and her spirit of service were
both contagious. Her legacy to her
friends is the memory and inspira-
ton of a beautiful spirit
