Miss Lucy was the youngest of the three
sisters and distinguished by the depth
of her emotional nature. She clung to
the object of her affections and felt as j
few are capable of feeling, the changes
wrought by time. And yet in the providence
of God she survived her sisters for I
many years.
The late Rev. Dr. W. V Wilson of I
Messed memory, who had married her |
sister, spent the closing years of his long !
and useful life in her home. And to add
to the trials through which she was called
to pass, her own health gave way.
Years of suffering as well as sorrow were
allotted to her. But it was all ordered in
love. She was exercised by these chastisements.
They yielded in her the peaceable
fruits of righteousness. As long as
she was strong, she went about doing
good, and when shut in by personal trials
she endured as seeing Him who is invisible.
To her church and her wide circle of
niuuicu uuu 11 iciiuo, out; una mil me comfort
and inspiration that flows from the
contemplation of a life devoted to the
.service of God.
MRS. MARGARET ORR EDGAR.
On September 23, 1909, at her home in
Covington, La., Mrs. Margaret Orr Edgar
crossed over to receive her reward,
after a long life of faithful service for
the Lord. She was born in Melrose,
Scotland, April 2, 1836, and came to this
country about fifty years ago. She and
her consecrated husband, Mr. Robert Edgar,
lived a short time in New Orleans,
then his health failing, they moved to
Covington, where the rest of her fruitful
life was spent.
Many knew and loved the peacefulness
of the beautiful home of which this energetic
Christian woman was the center.
i ne spirit or unrtst dwelt there, and upon
her gentle face one might read "Holiness
to the Lord." The church of which she
was a charter member can not forget the
devoted attendant who so dearly loved
the house of prayer; the pastor will ever
remember the appreciative face, so eager
for the message; the Aid and Missionary
Societies will miss a treasurer member
and all who knew her will grieve for a
friend, staunch and true.
fieing left early a widow, she courageously
bore the burden of rearing her {
young family, and reaped a rich harvest ;
of love and gratitude from the band of
noble men and women who now mourn :
for their wise and faithful mother.

this aged saint, who after months of suffering,
bravely and patiently borne, now
"rests from her labors," while "her works
do follow her."
Prayer must be life's constant resource.
