Park," Sumter county. South Carolina, on
December 31', 1908, Mrs. Alice Maude
Dabbs. Mrs. Dabbs was the only daughter
of the late James McBride and his
wife, Sophie (Warren). She was born

married to Mr. Eugene W. Dabbs, of
Sumter county, and on the last day of

1908 she exchanged the life of trust and
service on earth for the higher life of
sight and praise in heaven. On the first
day of the new year, in the presence of
a large and sorrowing assembly, the mortal

of the ol<| "Brick church" with which her
life had been so closely identified.
Her stricken husband and six young
children, her venerable mother and only
brother, Mr. Guy W. McBride, together
with a host of friends and kindred, are
left behind in sore bereavement.
The writer was privileged to know this
noble woman from childhood and felt
honored in the possession of her warm
friendship to the close of her noble, unselfish
and useful life. In early life she
professed her faith in Jesus And through
all the succeeding vears she mnstaniw

illustrated the soul attitude so beautifully

was wont to sing over and over as she
hushed her babes to sleep at the close of
the day, "Beneath the Cross of Jesus I
Fain Would Take My Stand."
Her faith in her Savior was as strong
and simple as that of a child; her trust
in God absolute. She had a strong mind,
well stored and highly cultivated. Her
heart was the home of pure and gentle
emotions, and her days were filled
with kindly and unselfish ministry to
others. Through all the varied circumstances
of life where character is tested
and worth appraised she bore herself
grandly, and all unconsciously challenged
the admiration and affection of all who
came within the charmed circle of her
ennobling influence. Love so beautifully
described in thirteenth of Corinthians,
and the Beatitudes, Matthew 5th, picture
her daily life as with a camerti. Love!

SUSAN >n. WALLACE.
In Memoriam.
Mrs. Susan A. Wallace was born October
20, 1830, in the county of Albemarie,
Va.. and died February 20, at Front Royal,
Va., at the home of her son-in-law, Mr.
Wm. R. Buck, and was laid to rest at the
family jurying ground near Greenwood,
in Albemaj-le county, on the evening of
February 22.
Thus has closed the earthly history of
another of God's saints. Mrs. Wallace

elder of Lebanon church, and in early life

walk and conversation throughout her
long life. Her piety was of the type
which is manifested in deeds rather than
words. She was intensely practical in an
her business methods, and she manifested
tue same quality in her religious life.
Until the infirmities of age were upon
her, it was indeed a rare thing for her
place to be vacant in the church, and
when the writer was her pastor it was
rare indeed that she did not take with
her some neighboi cr friend.
The writer does not recall that he ever
met but one other woman of the same
sterling, outspoken, downright integrity
of character. Few pasters ever had a

few homes, even in our favored land,
blessed with so devoted a wife and mother.
On September 7, 1S53, she was married
to Michael W. Wallace, known to so
many in the church as "the blind elder,"
from Tabor church, and no man ever had
a wife more faithful and devoted to his
interest. Of this marriage there survive
two children, Prof. Clarence W. Wallace,
of Nashville, Tenn., and Mrs. Win. R.
buck, of Front Royal, Va.
Nearly two years before her death Mrs.
Wallace had a fall which necessitated the
use of crutches to the end of her life;
but her active and efficient interest in
ail that pertained to the household and
church never ceased. A "Mother in
