MISS MILiDKKl) CABELL WAT
KINS.
In Ruling, China, on August 12,
1922, there entered into rest one
well-known and loved in two conti
nents, a saint of God, Miss Mildred
Cabell Watkins. She had come up
from the Shanghai American School
to Kuling in July to spend the sum
mer with friends. Owing to a
sprained ankle she could not get out
much, and her many friends on the
mountain came often to see her, and
this was one of her great pleasures
during the last weeks of her life.
She was very appreciative of every
visit and every loving attention. She
took special joy and interest in coach
ing for a time each day one of her
pupils who had been sick, and was
consequently behind with her school
work. On August 7tli she was taken
ill with intestinal obstruction, and
from the first day she began hoping
that "it was her last illness." She
received devoted care and medical at
tention from those who loved her
deeply, and on August 11th was
taken to the Kuling Estate Hospital,
where her beloved cousin, Dr. W. H.
Venable, operated as the only hope
of saving her life. Before the oper
ation she spoke of God's goodness In
letting her be surrounded by loved
ones at such a time, and she begged
that they would not pray for her re
covery. Her spirit was tugging at the
leash and she longed to be away with
Christ.
After the operation she rallied well
and was greatly relieved of her pre
vious suffering. There was hope on
the 12th that she would yet live to
bless with her wonderful spirit and
teachings the boys and girls of the
Shanghai American School and the
many others that came under her In
fluence. She was very cheerful and
happy that morning, and said that if
God still had work for her to do
here, she was willing to wait His
time for her going. In the afternoon
there was a sudden change for the
worse, and at 9 o'clock that night
she passed quietly away.
On the afternoon of Sunday, the
13th, after the North Kiangsu Mis
sion's annual communion service, a
memorial service was held In the
auditorium, and many tributes of
praise were paid to her rarely beau
tiful Christian life and character.
The funeral service was held at the
grave in the little Ruling cemetery
just before sunset. The Shanghai
American School boys and girls fol
lowed the casket in procession with
arms full of the wild mountain lilies
Miss Watkins always exclaimed over
in delight. The grave was exquisite
ly lined throughout with wild ferns
and flowers, and seemed a lovely
resting place for the worn-out body.
The day had been dark and gloomy,
but during the service, as a male
quartette of the North Kiangsu Mis
sion were singing "The Riches of
Love in Christ Jesus," the clouds
rolled back and the sun burst out In
glory. To many standing there It
seemed an emblem of her "abundant
entrance" into the riches of love in
Christ Jesus.
Miss Watkins came to China in
the autumn of 1909, and returned to
America on furlough in the summer
of 1917, having labored unceasingly
for eight years in teaching first the
missionary children in Kashing sta
tion, and later the Bible to Chinese
in Kiangyin and in Kashing High
School. As she came to China late
in life she was not able to learn to
speak this difficult language very
fluently. One day some one asked
one of her Chinese pupils if they
could understand her. She answered,
"Oh yes, Indeed, we understand her.
