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." The milk of human kindness never did run smooth.?The Lark.
