TRIBUTE TO MRS. MAUGHS
From the WOman's Organizations of
Grace Episcopal church
(By Mrs. H. HARDLY

The serene, silent beauty of a holy
life is the most powerful influence in
the world, next to the might of the
such beautiful life from this world
tc the Joy of the life everlasting that
we commemorate today.
When Almighty God, in his prov
iGence, called "from the church mill
tant to the church at rest" the soul
Of Elizabeth c. Maughs, GRACE Epis-
copal church of Ocala. Fla, was be-
reft of faithful worker and one who
will be greatly missed. Keenly in
terested in all things pertaining to
the parish. faithful to her sacraments
and in attendance at services, loyal
to her church and staunch in the
faith that was once delivered to the
saints, her passing will be a great
loss to the parish.
She gave of herself and loved her
church devotedly. AS president of
St Margaret's Guild. which Office she
held for many years, she was greatly
beloved, and ever the utmost harmony
prevailed under her leadership. She
was gentle and gracious, and yet al
ways firm when necessary. Her heart
was in the work, and through her in
| spiration, much has been accomplish
ed
AS a member of the Woman's Aux
iliary, she was always ready to con-
tribute of her time and money. Her
ready help was extended to every
claim, yet so quietly was her work
done that she obeyed literally the
command in the sixth chapter of st.
Matthew, when thou doest aims, let
not thy left hand know what thy
right hand doeth."
She was made chairman of the COM
1 mittee from Grace Episcopal church
; that took part in the various Liberty
Loan campaigns. and worked in that
d capacity with the same untiring yea
r and devotion and that was character
e istic of all that she did. And while
VIC may not sorrow for our late sister
as those without hope. knowing thai
I she departed this life in the faith thai
once for all delivered to the saint!
and in the hope of a blessed immor
tality, yet are we privileged to recorC
e that by her death Grace Episcopa
e church has lost member whose la

n thusiastic, untiring and whose plac
e will be hard to fill.
