had the privilege of association.
Mrs. Poyntz was the embodiment OF
all the virtues that should characterize
a follower Of Jesus. fer religion was
not a theory but was reduced to pTac-
ice II was her life, and by II she was
sustained throughout her pilgrimage
Of more than four score years. She
was a living epistle more eloquent
than any sermon.
In view Of life so precious, and a
loss so acute we wish as a society to
render our testimony.
First: To her blameless life and her
boundless influence for good.
Second: To her great humility, and
forgetfulness OF self And to her beau
tiful fulfllment of all the relations Of
life.
Third: To her devotion to her
church, and all It's couses.
And we desire further that this APP
probation be recorded in the minutes
of the society, and a copy sent TO the
family, and to the Public Ledger.
