April 21, 1909. THE
old age s..e was strikingly handsome.
Mrs. i^ewis was a woman of fine sense
and splen.. a judgment. A gentleman
who knew her well, said of her, "had she
been a man she would have been President
of the United States." Thus expressing
his high opinion of her wisdom
and good, practical judgment.
She was a woman of marked characteristics,
well minded, gifted, and cultivated.
Her home was a most delightful one
in which it was indeed a privilege iu
be a guest. Ihe writer, who was her
pastor for five years, shall ever recall as
among the most delightful experiences
of his life t??e happy hours spent at her
fireside. Hers was a well ordered heme,
and though she was a strict disciplinarian.
she was a most wise and devoted
mother, and those wno knew her children
can see in them all the likeness of their
noble mother, "and her children rise up
and call her b'essed."
Early in life she united witn the Presbyterian
church, and was a most faitiiful
and consistent Christian through ail
the years of her long and useful life.
To the writer her most prominent characteristic
was her love for her church,
its history, its traditions, its ministers.
She was an ardent believer in the doc
trines of her church, and loved it devotedly,
hut she was all -this without a trace
of bigotry. She was gifted with a keen
sense of justice. Her affections did not
blind her to the faults of those who were
dearest to her, nor did ner prejudice
blind her to the good in others. It was
impossible to know her well and get a
true insight into her character, and not
honor, love and admire her.
With her the promise "At evening time
it shall be light" was fulfilled, for in her
last illness, which was brief, she did not
seem to suffer any pain. She was surrounded
by her children who ministered
incsi lovingly ana lenueny iu uer ocij
wish. She was joyous and happy as she
approached the Celestial City. "And
her end was peace."
"At Pv-ening time there shell be light,
For God hatn spoken?it must ne;
Fear, doubt and all grief take their
ilight;
His glory now is risen on me.
Mine eyes shall his salvation see;
Tis evening time, and there is light."
"W. C. F."

There are bodily conditions that produce

strike you, be patient; when they strike
your friends, be generous.
