and was greatly beloved In her
church. Like her husband, s>he was
called very suddenly, but none can
doubt that in her sudden death was
sudden glory.
She was buried in Staunton, Va., beside
her husband, the 11th of June.
All their children survive them. They

MRS. STERLING FOSTER.
On the 17th of April, 1912, in her
home in Union Springs, Alabama, Mrs.
Virgihia Foster, a charter member of
the Presbyterian church of that place,
n devout Christian mother, and pious
child of God. fell on sleep and quietly
passed to the mansion prepared for her
by heT Saviour and Lord.
Mrs. 'Poster early united with the
church and loved it fronv the depths of
her heart. It was the medium through
which she so abundantly expressed her
loyalty, devotion and love for God. She
loved its ministry and when able to
attend its services was always in her
pew. She was the Inspiration of the
society work in the church and would
deny herself comfort and pleasure that
she might attend and inspire and encourage
the work of the church.
She was a friend to the friendless
and Btay to the widow and orphan. The
church is poorer to-day since sie has
gone. The city of Union Springs is
poor, the 'East Alabama Presbytery Is
poored and the Synod and church are
poorer since this devout child of God
has heen removed from them. The merchants
erf Union Springs carried monthly
accounts of hundreds of dollars for
dry goods and groceries and otherthlngs
that she ordered and 'modestly sent to
the poor and needy of her community.
Few know. If an.v, how far reaching was
AN or THE SOOTH
her benefaction or how vast her daily
charity.
She was a friend of the orphanage and
a constant contributor to its work. Her
love and devotion to God found expression
also in her ministry to the
Eaints, and the benevolence of the
church. Yet such were her modesty and
sweetness of Christian spirit, that she
never mentioned these matters nor sufferred
them mentioned in her presence.
Such was the charm of her spiritual
personality, the opulence of her queenly
wpmanhood, that her home was a place
of rest and peace and delight to all
who found lodgment under her roof. She
loved the association of the ministers,
and all who were ever fortunate enough
to come in her presence felt the thrill
of her spiritual life and were made
braver and stronger for liTe's duties.
Her home was a model of Christian appointment,
and a true type of heaven on
earth where the sweetness of true
Christ-like spirit was so abundantly
evidenced.
"She leaves four children to mourn her
loss and cherish her memory: Judge
Robt. Foster, elder, St. L?ouls, Mo.; Rev.
Sterling Foster, D. D., Birmingham,
Ala.; Mrs. May Foster Leary, New York
City, and Mr. Hugh Foster, Union
Springs.
Her life was a monument of grace.
The fragrance and charm of which will
long linger an inspiration in her home
town, and be the inspiration of others
to a higher Christian aspiration and
more Dcrfect Christian consecration.

SEMI-CENTENNIAL MEMORIAL
ADDRESSES.
Delivered Before the General Assembly
of 1911 at Louisville. Kentucky.
In accordance with previous action
of the Assembly, originating in an overture
of the Presbytery of Montgomery,
the General Assembly of 1911 celebrated
the completoin of fifty years of history
of our Church dn its Independent life.
This celebration without any elaboration
of services consisted of three addresses
by brethren admirably well
chosen. Dr. Henry Alexander White, of
Columbia, spoke on "The Origin of the
Presbyterian Church in the unuea
States." Dr. Theron H. Rice, of Union
Theological Seminary, spoke on "The
History and Progress" of the Church;
and Dr. Rgbert W. Smith, of Louisville,
on "The Mission of the Southern Presbyterian
Church." These addresses
comprehended the past, present and
future of tbe Church whose story is
told and character and principles are
described and Whose outlook upon Its
service in the years before it to have
gathered to a (bright and hopeful focus.
"We have read and re-read these addresses
with great satisfaction. They
are worthy of the occasion. They fit
well Into each other, and with harmony
of view, present a comprehensive portrayal
of the Church whose origin, history,
principles and mission they describe.
Though quite a year behind the
time in publication, the value of the
addresses is not in the least Impaired.
They are as instructive and inspiring
as the day when delivered. We most
heartily commend them to our brethren
and to all in the churches. A great
thing would be done for our whole
Church, if a copy of this pamphlet
edition were placed in the hands of
every church officer and in every diome,
It would add to the intelligent loyalty
of all our people, to the unity and
strength of the Church and inspire the
whole body with a new consecration.
The Presbyterian Committee of Publication,
Richmond, Va., has issued these
addresses in a neat pamphlet, well edited
and accurately printed. Price 15c.,
$1.50 per dozen, $11.00 per hundred.

PRAYER FOR OUR COUNTRY.
There are times when the prayers of
Christians become more earnest, more
insistant than at others. It is when the
danger to the Kingdom seems more imminent,
the need for help more urgent.
When infidelity and idolatry and the Innumerable
forms of unbelief working
in the garb of religion grow bolder and
more domineering, when the prophets
of the Lord begin to feel almost like
Elijah did when he walled out, "I, even
I only, am loft."
The present is a crucial time In our
land. Upon the decisions of the next
few months may depend the weel or
woe of our country. While oolitic*
should not enter the pulpit, the people
