SMOTHER. Stevenson

-ANAAANA t3NNNNhoOh
observer" writes into the State
News to speak word of praise for
the late Mrs. Annie c. Stevenson,
wife of Robert C. Stevenson, of Mag
nolia, whose death occurred a short
while ago. At Mrs. Stevensons fu-
neral, Observer writes, six sturdy
young men were pall-bearers and all
of them called her Mother" yet
only one was her real son. Upon in
quiry, Observer learned that there
have been reared to manhood and
womanhood in the Stevenson family
eleven orphan children, and that
seventeen others had been cared for
the shorter periods of time until
other homes could be provided.
The Gates of Heaven opened wide
when Mrs. Stevenson's soul left her
body to journey out across the great
border. God surely must have smil-
ed His approval as He took her to
Him. Her work upon earth was well
done. She led no armies to victory,
she discovered no unknown land or
unchartered island. She constructed
no great bridges, no gigantic sky
scrapers. She was not great wo-
man, as the world today construes
the term greatness. But she moulded
eleven human beings, besides her
own children, into fine men and Wo-
men. What greater achievement
could any one accomplish?
Thev called her Mother" those
orphan boys and girls. And thelr
own mothers were waiting above 10
welcome and thank her for her kind
ness to their children.
Observer was stating it but mildly
when he remarked that TINS o!u
world is not all bad after all IS SAID
and done"
