The wood of the church was appor-

They know all this, for don't they
remember that at this hour there is
prayer and solemn hymning at the
church on the hill? Can't they even
hear in the depths of them some-
thing of the very singing itself?
After the hymns there is another

She married Levi Lincoln Thaxter,
Of Watertown, Mass, in 1862. 1t was
her family which was responsible for
popularizing the islands as the gather

of Robert Browning, though neither of
them had ever seen each other. And
when her husband died in 1884 she
asked Mr.. Browning to write an epitaph
for her husband.
He wrote the following inscription,
which Is hewn in the side OF a great
rock over Mr.. Thaxter's grave:

prayers of women for their sailing
fishermen-folk.
For 120 years this drear island has
been illuminated by the hope and the
prayers of the faithful; for l20 years
Q little shrine has stood on it's peak
it has been torn by the elements,
razed by fre-but something of it
has always remained and with brave
hearts the faithful have always built
It up again.
For it stands a symbol of their
trust; it is their rock of ages to
which they cling; it is the beacon
that shines in the hearts of the
storm-tossed seamen, giving them
the will and the fortitude to fight
stanchly against the driving winds,
