MRS. ANMK 0. GRAYltlLL.
Whereas, our Father in heaven in his
all wise providence, on March 18, 1913
called to himself fndm her earthly labors
and sufferings our 'beloved friend
and fellow-worker, Mrs. Annie O. Graybill,
bringing thus to its earthly close
a life of varied and mar Ken services
in the kingdom of God and transferring
it to the larger joys and services
of the heavenly home;
He it resolved by the Mexico Mission
of the Southern Presbyterian Church:
1. That while we keenly feel the loss
that has come to our Mission in the
death of Mrs. Graybill, and while oui
hearts are made sad by the deep sense
of personal loss, we bow in humble
submission to the will of him who love.;
each child with a special love anc
whose every act is governed by eterna
purposes for the glory of his name ant
the good of his children.
2. That as a 'Mission expressing oui
great loss of her from our ranks, we
acknowledge with profound gratitude
hep peculiarly great executive ability
which was so efficiently shown jus
after Dr. G-rayblll's death when the
esponsibility of the 'Mission fell upoi
inexperienced shoulders in conserving
by her wise counsel the policy of the
Mission so that there was no sudder
or new plan adopted which could cause
anxiety or uneasiness in the mind o
any of the many workers; her prac

her rare devotion to the work to whicl
she had consecrated her life by re
maining in the service as long as hei
health permitted, though imany otliei
tempting offers of service were repeat
ed'y made to her.
3. That we extend to the family o
Mrs. GrayMll our sincere sympathy ii
our mutual loss and our appreeiatioi
of their efforts to keep us informed o
her condition when she could no longer

LANE.
Mrs. Lane was the daughter of .lames
Alexander and Margaret AVilson Poague
and was born in Collierstown, Va., February
10, 1S37. Her father afterwards
moved to Fancy Hill near the Natural
Bridge, where she spent her girlhood.
In early life she united with the Falling
Spring chmrch. Her school days were
passed in Lexington, where she is affectionately
remeniibered as the beauti
iui and attractive same 1'oague. On
August 4, 1 Sf>l, she was married to
Samuel Milton Ligiitner, a graduate of
the 1'niversity of Virginia and a student
at Union Theological Seminary,
lie had enlisted in the 1-liberty Hall
Volunteers and two or three weeks
after the marriage he joined his regiment
and died in a few months of
camp fever.
In 1ST I she married the Rev. Edward
Lane and went with him to Rrat'il
as the pioneer missionaries of the
Southern Presbyterian Church. There
she was the inspiration of her husband
for twentv vears in all the toil and
strain of those early missionary clays.
Ever ready to cheer him on his return
from his long journeys inland, his
heavy editorial work, and his training
of young men for the ministry, she laid
her life beside that of her husband on
1 the altar of sacrifice under the 'South'
orn Cross.
The incessant strain of her life, re'
eeiving the constant stream of visitors,
visiting and teaching the Rihlc to the
women as well as caring for the sick.
' wrecked her health. She was at her
name wicn nur tiiree cniitircii an a
1 furlough when Dr. T^ane, like the hero
that he was, refused to llee the scourge
1 of yellow fever to which he feM a victim
when he remained to comfort the
' living and bury the dead.
I Her heart always remained with her
husband and her youngest child, both
laid to rest in that land to which she
had given her heart's love and life
. work. But she bravely turned her face
I to the future and devoted herself to
the training of her children. After
years of suffering day and night the
conflict ended and in the dawn of a
Mav moraine the silver cord was loos

and she passed into the presence of
1 her 'Master beyond the stars. Her faith
2 shone bright and clear amid all the
1 gloom of suffering. The earnest long'
ing of her heart was to depart and be
2 with Christ. She said to her children,
1 "Mlhen 'I am gone, I do not want you
2 to grieve for me. Read the laet two
r chapters of Revelation and think of
me." Her portrait is drawn by in3
spiration in the faces of Hannah, Eliza3
beth, Eunice and J/>is. Coming as she
' did from a family that in several
1 branches has given more than two hundred
ministers and ministers' wives to
r the Presbyterian Church, that beautiful
r description of a Scotch Covenanter
Mother seeirns to belong to her. "A
woman of ereat worth whom all loved
t and Inwardly honored. With a stately,
i beautiful and comely presence, truly
i pious and fearimg' the Lord. Of a
f serene temper, patient under our comr
mon tribulations and under her pert

wise and affable in her conversation,
also having a good faculty of speaking
and expressing* herself with assurance.
Being a pattern of frugality and wise
management in household affairs, well
fitted for the virtuous education of her
children."
She passed through a sea of trouble,
but she always kept her eye on the
other shore, where she saw the King
in his beauty and the land that is very
far off. "Made perfect through suffering,
the beauty of holiness was in her
face living and the peace of heaven
on her brow when dead. Therefore she
is before the throne of God and in his
presenee forever more."
