her in christian graces; it is true
there never was any effort on her
part to bring those graces to the
front, and a casual observer may
not have recognized those salutary
virtues, which she possessed. To
fully know, comprehend and ap-

deed the embodiment of humility.

many years before her death, a

from her. She, in all her affiic-
