through all of her days thence after
spent on earth. She was brought up
In the congregation of Jericho, near
her home, and spent most of her
tlmetbmu. Her Dstber was aa elder
of this congregation for anamber of
years. He was absolutely endowed
with a profoaod intellect. He read
^tendvely, studied bis Bible mucb,
taught school for years, lived one of
the most elegant, exemplary lives
until his death years ago. Her

endowed Mary with a brilliant mind
which she deUghted. in culdvatlng.
From a diild she read, along wiUi
her Bible, good books, and gathered
knowiedge and wl^cm which was
necessary to make her that osefnl,
worthy bdttg which she was. This,
comUned with ber loving, cbeerfol
disposiiion, made her rrady to aym^i
pathizeand lend a helping hand to'
those in distress. She had a nteas-'
ant smile and greeting for all, mani
fested the spirit of benevolence to
all who came her way, and waa nev
er happier than when she fatly ao-
eomplmed all that she felt was her
duty, lake David, she was a "Sweet
singer of the Spiritual larsl of God.*.'
Her God-given talent, music, sing
ing God's praises, die ealttvatsd and
need as Qurist directed In these
words. '*TeadiIng and admonishing
one another In Paalma and .Bynua
and Spiritoal songs," tCol. 8:16.)
Such as Hiia David says, pieaaea God
more than saedfices of an ox. (Psalm
69:80,8L) Besides Hils talent she
was a gifted artiat. and made pic*
tares after her own design. So thus
her life was spent in filling the mis-
don for wbieh God gave her these
talents, eohsequentlv she has left a
memorial worth while—to improve
ybar talents and not bury them, as
an example to all who were fortnr
nate enough to ba associated-, with
her. Soh^n described her in.tbfo
"She looketb well to the ways of her
housdudd. and ratethnot the bread
offdlmiesa." <Prov.31'.27) Her hus
