Harrington died Nov. 30, 1900. En-
eson says, What you are speaks
so loud / can't hear you say who you
are" Campbell says "Any man can
do anything with God who will first
let God do what He wants to do with
man"
These two sayings found amplfi-
cation in the life and character of the
noble woman for whom this tribute
is written. Most every eye that will
read these lines knew what she was
and who she was What she was, was
as transparent as who she was. 1t
matters more what one is, than who
he or she is-what is the real, true,
noble spirit-who is the veneering-
what is characteristic is reputation.
Character is christianity and abides.
Reputation is a bubble and bursts
when resistance meets its. But char
acter defys and dares all conditions
or circumstances and flys the colors
of victory over all enemies.
Mrs. Harrington gave her self in
early life in surrender to her Lord
for service, suffering and sacrifice.
She put herself in such, relation to
God that she could command him
and expect his blessing and his guild
ing hand to the end. She, under this
fellowship with her Lord, developed
more than one rare and rich gift for
usefulness.
Beginning at the tender age of
ten she met the bible claim for the
highest attainmnt in the christian
life. Her light shone in song, shout,
prayer, testimony and deeds of phil
anthrophy in helping the needy She
was bible christian, Methodist by
choice, and loved her church and its
institutions. She loved souls, she low
ed sinners. Here she exemplified the
spirit of Jesus, "He came to seek and
save the lost This was the chief
of her beautifully
rounded christian life. She wooed and
won sinners to Jesus. He or she that
winneth souls is wise. Her last public
work for her Lord was in meeting
at Batesville Coming to her sisters
Mrs. W. M. Jernigan, she soon fell
sick. Her last illness was long and
painful, of seven weeks duration,
but not complaint ever escaped
her lips. at was alright" Her love
for souls concerned her and calling
her kindred to her bedside, put her
blessing ON them and besought God
to bless and save the dear young
people, and eight of her grand-ne-
phews and nieces were joyously and
spontaneously converted during the
late meeting at Charlotte and her
joy was full. What a fruitful life!
Her last days were her best-passed
them at the home of her sister who
mlnistered to her for seven long
weeks, but all of the serving was a
labor of love. She died as she had
lived and as only the clean, true child
of God can die-not a cloud-anxious
to go and meet with loved ones gone
before
The funeral services were held at
Sulphur Rock in presence of a large
sympathetic crowd Her remains were
laid to rest at the Tunstall grave
yard in the presence of another large
congregation.
Sister Julia we will all meet again.
We will emulate your noble char
acteristics and keep the work going
you loved so devotedly. May God
bless all the relatives is the prayer
of one who knew her for 81 years.
