In different ways the Lord Of the
Vineyard, chooses his servants and calls
His hand maids. Of old He called q
boy that lived in nature, who loved his
flocks, scattered over the hills of Ju'

proclaiming his love for his maker whom
he learned to love so much through his
surroundings that he became man af.

uel mere boy to acqualnt him with
the mysteries of his work and govern
ment. So He calls eervants today out
of the quietude and leisure of life, to
follow Him. A life that was thus call
ed is represented by our dear Sister Ida
Muller. She was born Marcn ~, 1900,
at her country home, near Silverton.
Oregon. AS the youngest of thirteen
children the baby of the family, Sister
Ida spent her younger years in country
quietness and life was like tranquil
dream. She was child of nature. She
knew the language of the birds and
the brook, the buzz Of the insects and
marked every tree and plant and indi.
rectly she thus learned her Creator s
footprints in nature. She did not as yet
know Him personally, but she heard a
still small voice and she followed it,
like Samuel and the Master had need
of her service in His Vineyard. On
August 12, 1917, she entered our hos
pital for training. How hard the long
days and weary nights of nursing at
first seemed to this child of nature, who
would have loved to get all her lessons
from her outside surroundings, but to
whom books were torment. But as
the days wore on, Sister Ida settled
down to win the love and respect of all
who knew her. She developed remark
ably. All loved her for her willingness
and cheerfulness. Never was she too
tired, when the emergency call came,
never was there any duty too hard bus
to find her willing to undertake 1T. Al
ways was she willing to bring aid and
relief. On general duty and in emer-
gencv the management could depend on
her. When the Influenza epidemic
broke out and so many urgent calls for
help came, Sister Ida was the first to
volunteer for service. When the need of
aid got more and more urgent and a
special benefactress of our hospital ask
cd for help, good Sister Ida volunteered
again and she was sent on the case.
Only four short days and nights and her
patient struggled between life and
death then was put away to rest and

Sister Ida sighed with grief as she
returned.
How with anxious heart

Pain and suffering to relieve.
Yet each day saw thee failing

And our hearts ached too, for we saw
already the message from her departed
loved one

you reach that golden gate,
"I'll come and let you through
Sister Ida came home New Year s
day she went to bed sick, never more
to arise. She arranged all things and
her greatest desire was: "I want to see
Jesus whom l dearly love-"
All that loving hearts could think Of
and do, was done but her Master found
it fit, to call her from service to reward
and on on the 18th day of January, we
had to close her eyes forever, going to
sleep soft and gently as child in her
mothers arme. She is gone but never
will be forgotten, her short life with us
has set living monument for her.
Sleep on, beloved sleep,
and take thy rest;
Lay down thy head,
upon thy Saviour 3 breast,
We love thee well but Jesus loves
thee best,
Good night, dear Sister, good night,
Calm is thy slumber,
As an infant 'ssleep
But thou shalt wake no more

Thine is a perfect rest

Was it Office routine Marshall in

His clothes, of indefinite blacklsh hue,

His string tie had a starboard list,

dynamic spirit that would frequently
turn that quiet Office into mael-

suspected the daily polished skin; I'M
