This noble woman entered into the glory on April 5, 1909, leavihg behinu her such an influence for good and such an example of beautiful living ?!tat mere words seem entirely inadequate to express our appreciation. Her very early youth was spent in Wheeling, West Virginia, but for five generations her family have been identified with the history of Baltimore, and for torty years she has been connected with the Franklin Street Presbyterian church, each year growing more and more indispensable to that organization. There was no work undertaken there that was not the better for her counsel, Although pressed with many cares, sne was never too busy to work for her church, and freely poured out to it her heart's best love. Some years ago an old servant said of her, "Miss Esther is good down to the bone," and this homely word just expressed it. It was not what she said or what she did, but simply what she was. She was the last member of her immediate family, but at her funeral was manifested the highest exemplification of the familv life of the church. when I>le of all ranks and ages gathered to do her honor. For Ave months she was an invalid and deprived of doing the worn she so dearly loved, but preaching (.> as from her room even more eloquently than she had done in her active life, for like Ephraim of old, God "made her fruitf u in the Jand of her affliction." We cannot think of bir as idle in that heavenly land. Sureiy sne finds there a wider scope to manifest her pure unselfishness and her unflinching truthfulness, "Ah, Victor, whose triumphs were nobly won, There was no delay in thy prompt "Well done'." J. Baltimore, Md. HON. JOHN W. CHURCHMAN. At a meeting of the board of deacons of Tinkling Spring Church held on March 28, 1909, the following resolutions were adopted as a memorial of respect to our fellow member, Hon. John W. Churchman. Resolved, That while called to mourn his loss, we bow in humble admission to the supreme will, and desire to express the overwhelming sorrow occasioned by his death which occurred on February 24, 1909, at his home near Rrookwood, Va, in his fifty-third year. Having been born and reared in this community, he early in life became a member of Tinkling Springs Church, and on May 2, lSSti, was elected a member of the board of deacons, occupying the official position of treasurer and chairman, holding the latter at the time of his death. Mr. Churchman's distinguishing^ .characteristics were integrity, intellectual vigor, strict and conscientious performance of duty, strong in his convictions, deliberately and carefully formed, full of courage, yet gentle in spirit and feeling, and possessed of a high sense of honor. ITH. April 21, 1909. Fy reason of his sound judgment wide and varied experience, his advice and council were often sought by his associates, and he justly deserved the confidence and respect they so generously accorded him. As a neighbor and friend, no man was his superior, and his loyalty to his church and to those he esteemed was unbounded and unquestioned. With profound sorrow at his untimely death, we mourn the irreparable loss the church, his family and friends have sustained. Resolved as a token of respect that these resolutions be spread upon our records, published in the "Presbyterian of the South" and a copy sent to the bereaved familv. R. W. Moffett, J. B. Patterson, Committee. MRS. SALLIE CLAIBORNE LEWIS. In Memoriam. On March 1, 1909, this elect lady, widow of the late Jno. O. Lewis, "fell on sleep, and' was not, for God took her.' Mrs. Lewis was born in the city ot Richmond, August 30, 1S35. Her parents were Charles and Cora Burlesdale Hunt. She was a great grand-daughter of Rev. Clement Read, a gifted minister of the Presbyterian church. She was married in 1852 to Mr. Jno. O. Lewis, a wealthy and influential citizen of Albermarle county, and of this union there were born nine children, eight of whom survive her. They are as follows: Mrs. R. C. Mcintosh, Quitman, Ho XI n n n* ??? vi?., mi a. oiruawicK, ureensDoro, N. C., Mrs. D. H. Lewis, Scottsville, Va., Mrs. S. S. Rountree, Quitman, Ga., Mrs. Jno. O. Lewis, Quitman, Ga., Mrs. R. W. Carter, Fredericksburg, Va., Miss Clara K. Lewis, who died on January, 19, 1903, Mrs. Virginia Bowles, Scottsville, Va., and Mr. C. B. Lewis, Davis, W. Va. The passing away of this noble Christian woman deserves more than a casual notice. She was a typical old Virginia matron of the noblest type, that is now very rare, and illustrated in her life the noblest traditions of that part which Virginians love to dwell upon. She grew ud in a home of culture anrt ruflncmont and married when quite young- a man of wealth and influence, of whose home she was the chief ornament, and she was the dispenser of the most charming and gracious old Virginia hospitality. After the war, in common with so many of the most prominent families of the state, tney suffered the loss of their property, and had to face the problems of living and raising their sons and daughters under vastly changed conditions. But this reverse of fortune simply served to bring out the true gold of her character. She, with her husband, bravely met the changed condition of affairs, and together they successfully solved the problem until his death. after which sad event, sne was led to face the responsibility alone, but fully measured up to it. She was Indeed a royal woman with the mien and dignity of a queen, and might truly be called a grand woman. She was possessed of a firm, strong cnfitacter, and one coming into her nresence instinctively felt this. In her ^outh she was a beautiful woman, an?'i,gven |n her 0 i
