 I know how quickly memory plays tw falae, 
 
 I think it well therefore to put down in writing a brief 
 
 sketch of the life and character of your AotheT, 00 that 
 
 the impression which she t^ already made upon you, 
 
 may be intensified by t^ occasional perusal of what I 
 
 now write. 
 
 I . ■ .-■■... 
 , Julia Elizabbth Frknoh was bom in Ly tchet, Dorset 
 
 Co., England, December Slat, 1847. Her' parents came 
 
 to Canada with their family when she was but a child. 
 
 I am not able to tell much about her father or motheri 
 
 save thatthe former was a devout christifui^ who exercised 
 
 his gifts in preaching the Gospel^ as he found opportunity, 
 
 and that the latter was an English lady of gentle breeding 
 
 and education, the daughter of Mrs. Besant^ whose 
 
 striking portrait hangs in your room. ' Your mother's 
 
 parents and grand-mother were buried in the old Paris 
 
 cemete^i As you visit the place<<^u will find the mounds 
 
 over their graves markdd by a marble slab; Your mother 
 
 came of good English stock, and through her you have 
 
 had the ftdvantage of being well-born. 
 
 IjHt. and Mrs. French died shortly after 'coming to 
 Canaila, one year oiriy elapsing between each death, and 
 there were left Sarah, the oldest gir^ 12 years of ^ 
 
 : i -

 upon whom devolved the\caTe of the family ; James who 
 ^ early in life took up his residence) in the United States, 
 and died there ; Rebecca, Whom you know well and love, 
 aJa Aunt Rebecca ; Julia, your mother, and William, who 
 is now (1898) County Attorney in Oklahama and editor 
 of a newspaper in Chandler. 
 
 During her infancy and girlhood, Julia was very 
 delicate, a "wee puny lass,'' I have often heard her 
 described, a dreamy body, also,- whose many sicknesses 
 prevented the romping life w^ich was the ^appy lot of her 
 playmaites. She was accusiomed to mention throughout 
 her life and dways. with deep gratitude, the kindness and 
 love givian her by old Mrs, Gilbert, of Beachville, with 
 whoni she used to live. 
 
 After leaving Beachville, she resided with Mr. and 
 Mrs. John Arnold, of Paris, with whom the family made 
 their home.^^ Because of her ill-health she could not avail 
 herself of early educational advantagi^ but perhaps this 
 lack was fully jcpmpmisated by the taste for reading 
 which was then developed. This appetite soon became a 
 passion, and she eagerly devoured aU literature that came 
 within her reach. The Arnold home placed no restric- 
 tions upon this passion, and she had opportunity through 
 the kindness of her guardian, Mr. Thos. Bosworth, and 
 many Paris friends, of obtaining access to such an assort* 
 ment of ^ood books as enriched all her after life. I have 
 often been struck with her felicity of expression, both in 
 writlbgand in public speech, and her familiarity with 
 worki^ now gone into disuse. To her reading habits m 
 jearly life she owed much that gave value to her public 
 work, uid the sweet charm of her .fireifide conversation. 
 As she came to womanhood she gaine^ strength, ai^d a 
 certain degree of health, so that hot neglected school 
 was i«8umed. She passed through the ordinary drili\6f 
 fhe Paris schools, taking hex certificate after complet 
 
■»*fj'Tr 
 
 •■ \ 
 
 the High School. She spent two years at Woodstock 
 College also. Her experience thus far vell-fitted her for the 
 sphere of life to which God was ctjling her. An orphan 
 from an early age, she had developed a spirit of self- 
 reliance and independence. Her acquaintance with books 
 and her aftor-atudies were a foundation for the helpful 
 companionship she gave to her husband. 
 
 On August 1st, 1877, Julia French was married to 
 your father, who was then pastor of the Denfield church, 
 / and for 21 years was his wife and chum, and constant 
 companion and counsellor, and dearest friend. 
 
 There -are many things about your mothdr that time 
 would efface from your memoiy, unless some means are 
 taken to preserve them; I write th^ things for your 
 eyes only, and because I do not ttrish even small matters 
 in connection with the beld>redw(»inan to' be forgotten^ 
 
 I want you to remenibet lier*physically. She was 
 a beautiful woman. The large photographs taken in 1899, 
 give her face correctly, the one profile and the other full 
 face. Tou older boys recall the original, of course, and it 
 will ever remain with you, but, Jack and Will must 
 needs correct fading impressions by reference to the 
 picture and this writing. She was a beautiful woman, 
 and absolutely without bodily blemish, save the lack of 
 robustness which characterized her from girlhood. ^Of 
 course I speak as her lover and husband ; yet, you older 
 boys, will know that I speak justly. Tou recall her eyes, 
 dark grey with bluish tinge, very large, ve^ expressive, , 
 so full of loVe as we looked into them while paying her 
 the daily homage which we all delighted to give her, and 
 so shot with fire, when any cause called for just 
 ° indigniation. How bright they were ! and how constantly 
 they Were bright! The beaming welcome they always gave 
 to the home circle ! Their, glowing fondness for all about, 
 
 ; \ 
 
 r 
 
the fireside ! Hieir merry twinkle always accompanying 
 the evening ^un during the sacred family hour hefore 
 going to bed! You will never forget her glorious eyes 
 I ain sure. 
 
 *■ 
 
 And as she laughed — she was always laughing, you 
 remember— the rows of pearly teeth Would gleam from 
 rosy lips. You must not forgot her remarkable teeth. 
 You never saw any so fine, Or any that kept their beauty 
 so long. Large they Were, and of thai faint suspicion of 
 blue that is so rare and so attractive. Through her life 
 her teieth were admired greatly because of their unique 
 ezcellen'ce. Neither must you forget the rosy cheeks of 
 your niother, which she preserved with her bright eyesuuid 
 pure teeth, for fifty years. They put her sweet Woman- 
 hood in continual bloom, and preserved her girlish 
 appearcmce when she had passed the meridian of life. 
 And suriely her unsurpassed hands will not pass from 
 your memoi^. They were made^ in the choicest mould. 
 The long tapering fingers •were so soft and so transparent. 
 How often she laughed because she could not get a 
 thimble small enough ! And her rings would nof'stay on ! 
 She had to tie them together and so attempt to keep them 
 from slipping off. Bow we used to make merry with her 
 and accuse her of vanity because she presumed to possess 
 such hands ! But we loved their soft touch, and we all 
 liked to fondle them, and their ministry was ever sweet. 
 You must not forget her beauty, boys. It was beauty 
 too that did not fade. Look at her picture. An exact 
 likeness at forty-seven years of age. She had not a 
 gray hair, nor a wrinkle, but at that age she was as fresh 
 and winsome as the day. she became my bride. And so 
 she remained for fifty years, and then the mark of de»th 
 came upon her and the beautiful tabernacle soon came 
 down. So, I have given you an outline upon which your 
 memory nugr work and fill in the complete picture.

 Now a few words in regard to other and still more 
 esteemed characteristics. Tlie beloved woman was finely 
 endowed mentally. She adjusted herself to the demands 
 of every position with easy grace and facility. You all 
 rbmember the charm of her conversation ! Let me give 
 you the familiar setting to aid your memory. Let the 
 scene he 1134 Dorchester street, Montreal, or 601 Grace 
 street^ Woodstock. It is a winter evening say, and storm 
 without. The sitting room has,' its usual glowing fire in 
 the grate. The two armchairs a^e in place. The Beloved 
 sits in one. A footstool is at her feet^ and she wears a 
 loose evening robe^ and then hpw we loved to gather 
 around while she talked ! Had she been attending 
 some convention ; then the whole, inattec would be 
 rehearsed. Impersonation was natural to her, and the 
 personnel as well as the speech would be 'rendei^, 
 sometimes with genuine drollery, sometimes withserious- 
 ness, always with unflagging animation* Had she been 
 visiting relations or friends ; then everything of interest 
 would be recounted. Familiar pereonages, .would jbe 
 introduced, and the dialogue gone over in sprightly 
 fashion. We often said her reports were sufficient. Ko. 
 use the rest of us either attending conventions or mining, 
 visits. When she had visitors she had no difficalty in 
 entertaining them. Everybody was made at homo in her 
 company, and* her bright conversation set everybody at 
 ease. She Was always playful and merry, you remember. 
 Sometimes, and this is the only exception, when that 
 terrible paralysis recurred, which nearly took her life in 
 the year '79, the smile died away ^m her lips ; but only 
 for a little while. I must not omit a word or two about 
 her voice. How ^o used to sing! Song after song, 
 for hours at a time, especially when suibmering at her 
 dearly loved home in Muskoka. You must never foiget 
 her boat songa. I want you to hear her voice coming over

 the lake as I alwaya do. She could be heard a mile easily. 
 Clear as a bell was her voice, and of marvellous compass, 
 a voice such as one seldom hears, uid once heard is never 
 forgotten. Its speaking power was very remarkable. 
 It could be low and gentle, yet always distinct; and in 
 tiie largest auditorium not a syllable would be lost I 
 have heurd her sptok before latge audiences in an eaqr 
 conversational tone and there would be fio effort at 
 hearing. It was a voice of rich quality^ low in range, 
 qrmpatheUc and far reaching almost beyond credence. 
 An example : A few disys ^{before hor death she was 
 chatting pleasantly with a visitor. I wasin the basement 
 preparing something for her, koA. her observations could 
 be heard quite distinctly though she lay three stories 
 from where I stood. She used it with great effect in 
 her prayer-meeting addresses, and in her public prayers. 
 It was always under perfect control^ yet it voiced the 
 passion of her heart and so often carried benediction to 
 those who listened. But I have left her merry ways to 
 sing the praises of her voice. Well, she was never duU, 
 never ; even tck^the last the constant smUe was with her. 
 ThroT^ghout she was the merry-hearted companion, the 
 girl of the family, who loved her boys and her happy 
 home, and was the life and soul of eveiy joy whichsprang- 
 80 freely from her presence. And then her wit : you 
 recall its sparkles, her ready repartee, her playful sallies, 
 her funny couplets, her od!d conceits, her lively and 
 incessant character painting and all the whimsies of her 
 sprightly talk. 
 
 .:-::.^wa mother has left you a rich legaoy* in the 
 abundant store of manuscHpt and letters, which, no doubt, 
 you often peruse. She was a capital correspondent 
 She wielded a facile and graceful pen. There is no 
 attempt at fine writing, but there is intense personality

 ezpreasion whenever you read her pages. She had A 
 host of correspondente, and this they all testify of lier. 
 She was much sought after .as a letter friend. * You sl^ould 
 read over especially her Muskoka letters. Such a host 
 of them she lioft 1 And they will come to you again and 
 again as the breath of the pine trees over the rippling 
 waters of Lake Joseph. Treasure those letters especially 
 which tak:e nature into confidence, and chat of trees, and 
 flowers, and birds, and waters ; and those too which take 
 you boys into her motherly heart and deluge y<Ki with 
 loving counsels. ' 
 
 Tou may not know, because yon were not mature 
 enough to observe, that your mother possessed excellent 
 judgment Shie was my best counsellor xHl all the problems 
 of church and denomination which pressed for deeision. 
 And not a f^w such problems came to me during my 
 various pi^torates and my incumbency of the editorial 
 chairv She had quick intuition which sent her easily 
 upon the right i>ath, and which made counsel with her 
 always welcome and delightful Her character reading 
 also was remarkable, at times little short of inspiration. 
 I leamied to trust her estimate of men and' women, and to 
 prefer her judgment above my own. Ton may judge 
 theil her helpfulness to me in the prosecution of my 
 work. My sermons and addresses all jMssed under her 
 review, and her criticisms were just ^d always helpful. 
 She was aide to appreciate the posiuon of platform and 
 audience alike, and -vras exceedingly sensitive to the 
 demands of either sphere. Hence the value of her 
 suggestions. You will read some of her literary work 
 and art criticisms, and some of her written and printed 
 speeches, and you will always bear in mind thatyoiur 
 mother was a woman oi high mental cidture, who easily 
 took'her position on the pktform, as in the drawing room, 
 in literary and art circles, as in the home. / ;■

 Bui there was a side to her character, of greater 
 excellenoe than anything yet enumerated. Your mother 
 was a tme-hearted christian womaUi one who feared Gkxl 
 and was a lover of Jesus Christ Ton will find among her 
 letters her joy-sonf^ written to me at the time when her 
 eyes opened upon the glad new life which came through 
 faith in ^esus Christ She had from childhood heen 
 concerned in regard to spiritual things. God was very 
 real to her ; the bible was v^ry true ; heaven «^d hell 
 were far removed from mere theory, and her soul was 
 troubled. But Grod sSnt her lights and she had in rap- 
 turous fashion the joy of salvation, father Henderson, 
 of the Paris church, baptized hen Her experiepce of God's 
 grace ^addened all her afterlife. She never had a doubt ; 
 her faith never wavered ; and so often in our quiet conver- 
 sations she told me of the joy of that experience which was 
 always present with her. Her heart continually sang 
 praises to God because she had not missed the great 
 salvation^ Loving God so truly as she did, her love for 
 husband and family was pure and joyop as Jit was intense. 
 Yon boys perhaps did not suificie;iwy comprehend it. 
 The wealth of her affection, your maturity only could 
 properly discern ; but to me it glowed a sacred passioi)^ 
 whose depth and beauty must ever affect my life. / 
 
 The beloved woman was without guile. She could 
 not deceive, she could not be fake. Truth, I think, was 
 the most striking quality of her life. She was the soul 
 of honor, and at all costs, was true. Being trdthful 
 herself and guileless, she was addicted to great plain- 
 ness of speech— not tactful some would say. Well, she 
 spoke her mind upon all occasions, and was not careful to 
 shield unrighteousness, and in the end her plain^ simple 
 words won approbation, even where tiiey at first were 
 scibcely Welcomed. She never sought anybody's favort 
 and she never allowed anybody's patnmage. Whenever

 I want an example of anwavering faith and ilnaffected 
 truth, my mind raverta to her and stays there. I want 
 you to think of your mother as to this her chief and per- 
 haps most loTely characteristic. She loved God and 
 served him with simplicity of heart and with childlike 
 confidence. As I write of this quality, two of t repeated 
 scenes in her life stand out plainly before me. I see her 
 kneeling with her boys, in the erne instance, and pouring 
 out her heart's thought to God ; her low voiced utterance, 
 her wealth ©f love ; her passion of entreaty— you will ^ 
 never forget, I am sure. And the other: her prayer.^ 
 meeting address ; whether to God or to the assembled 
 people. Perhaps you do not recall it as Ido, but nothing 
 ever m^ved me as her words upon these occasions. She 
 never spoke until her heart was filled with some great 
 longincb and then the d«(ep far-reaching passion-burdened 
 voice would tell its story of God, and Christ j of pardo^ 
 and of life. She was God's own child, splendidly equipp^ 
 W service. /■ 
 
 I ^ I should Hke you to know something of the appre- 
 aation in which she was held by those outside her home , 
 and immediate aurroundings. I am not referring now to 
 mere personid friendship— of that, the hundreds of letters 
 received during her sicknera bear abundant testiinony-r-bnt 
 of the larger appreciation due to her worth and aervice. 
 
 »^ She was always intensely interested in the missionary 
 work of the churches, and found onportunity in the mi<bt 
 
 ' of her busy 4if e to do not a little^ advance this catise. 
 
 -'The mission bend^ now so successfully in business 
 throughout our denomination, were organized by her, and 
 for years she superintended this work in the position of 
 Secretary. She was a member of the Ontario Women's 
 Board during her; residence in the West, and gave herself 
 very heartily to its service both by piBb and voice. Upon 
 her removal to the Proirinee of Quebec, she waaunani- 
 
 ■-/■■ 
 
 ■'4, 
 
 .i :.-.:■■ 
 
■ il 
 
 moualy chosen President of the Women's Missionary 
 Society. She was glad the service had fallen to her 
 because she was devoted to the cause of missions, and 
 she immediately laid her plans for a forward povement 
 ,She thought much, prayed much, and wrote much about 
 it, but in the midst ol it all the Master told her, '<It 
 is enough," and she laid down her pen and her beautiful 
 voice became hushed forever. As she lay upon her bed, 
 jttach mail brought her letters penned by loving hands. 
 They came from all over the continent, and they all 
 l^e her such good cheer, and nearly all had some 
 aUusion to helpful service rendered in some, to her, for- 
 gotten way. The Annual Convention meeting in the city 
 of Hamilton sent a resolution of qrmpathy. Tlie Women's 
 Convention,, West, meeting in Toronto, and the Conven- 
 tidn, East^^ of which she was President, also sent 
 resolutions expressing profound solicitation. The 
 Boards of the various organizations in which she had 
 membership did the same thing ; these resolutions you / 
 may read at your leisure ; and she was gladdened by the 
 assurance Uiat from pulpits all over the land she was 
 made a special sutject of prayer. > Besides all this, every 
 day brought its fresh floweis to her bedside, and love 
 tokens innumerable. Her own people of Olivet church 
 gave her full-hearted and most tender ministry. Indeed, 
 boys, I know of no instance in which kindness and love 
 andheartfeltappreciation were so abundantly andgenuinely 
 shown. I tell you all this that you may never forget the 
 worth and service of the beautiful woman, the pure 
 and true woman, and the woman God so greatly honored, 
 whom it was your privilege to call mother. 
 
 Now, having told you somewhat oi her work, I must 
 say a word or two in regfod to her play. As she was 
 whole hearted in the one, so she gave herself to the other 
 with delightful abandon. What fine comradeship she

 diflplayed, whether at work or play, and how we all 
 caught the spirit of her exhilaration, you will not fail 
 to recall The fireside scene I have already referred to, in 
 which her position was always Mistress of Ceremonies, 
 when the rompe and the wrestling would occur. 
 Her hearty ecgoyment of the family fun of boisterous 
 youngsters I know will be a sweet memory to you. I 
 want yon always to hear her merry peal of laughter 
 through it all. But it was in Muskoka that her 
 fun-loving nature found its appropriate field. She 
 had a passion for the wilderness and water, and the 
 solitude of her northern home gave her the freedom for 
 that abandonment to nature which her whole being 
 craved. You recall her many expe^iitions for the curious 
 growths of the dark forest, the trailers and creepers : 
 which hid themselves in the shades, and the bark which, 
 lent itself to her deft fingers- to )i)e fashioned in curious 
 workmanship. You recall hejr bird-lore and her bug-lore, 
 and all the studies and paje^es which her happy 
 Muskoka home always afibrdedl her. And then her joy 
 upon the waters. How at home she was when the white- 
 caps were rolling and the wind was at itd height I She 
 woiAd order fier boat, take her place in the stem cushiona 
 always provided for her, and when the sail was hoisted and 
 the vrind was strong, who so happy as she 1 How her glad 
 songs would echo among^ihe rocks 1 Oi^ perhaps she 
 would prefer the smooth-gliding canoe, ^rged on with 
 paddle ttt sail Yott recidl her keen delight in this 
 sport I need not tell you of her swimming. How she 
 enjoyed the mad water frolics I At times she woukl 
 set out for a neighboriiig island and swim for a mile 
 perhaps, before she reached the other shore. Her &ce 
 would tan, ofHR^se, and she had to be deprived of a 
 great mai^ comforts of course ; yet* her vacation was 
 always pure delight to her, and she was the companion 
 of h#r boys in all the fun and work of it ^-^

 A& I speak of her Muskoka life, I wish to impress 
 upon you that your mother never knew fear. Hfir courage 
 ifas magnificent always. She would go alone with her 
 little children to Muskoka, pitch her camp in the woods, 
 her nearest neighbour being, say, half a mile or a mile 
 away, and she would never dream of being afraid. She 
 loved the storm and the angry waters, as you well know. 
 This quality characterized her in all her relationships of 
 
 ^ life, so that as well as being gentle and womanly, she 
 ever bold, outspoken and fearless. How wonderfully her 
 coun^ sustained her during the awful sickness which 
 oame^to her and took her life, y<|| boys, I am sore, caa 
 nefer forget V 
 
 > I comia now to write of your motherVlUst days, and 
 if I go into details you will know it is because none of 
 you were with her at the timd, and I would not have you 
 miss the lesson of that heroic conflict with suffering and 
 death. For some years she had noticed a small lum|r9r 
 {^wth, but as it did not give heit . any inconvenience, 
 no attention was paid to it Upon removal to Montreal, 
 however, in '96, she consulted a specialisll who pro- 
 nounced it a tumor, but discouraged operation. Frtmi 
 
 ' that consnltatibh the g^wth rapidly increased. Qhe was 
 able,' however, to go to her summer home as usual, where 
 she stayed July, August and September. While there we 
 noticed that she was downcast at times, and she told heir 
 maidij who lor nine years had waited on her, and who 
 watched heif lovingly an,d faithfully till the end, that she was 
 sure she was visiting her loved " Arbutus ** ibr the last time. 
 On leaving by steitmboat she, in girlish fashion, bade 
 good-bye to house^ trees, and all her familiar places of 
 resort, saying, she would never see them again, louring 
 fistumn and the early part of winter, she, although 
 
 T^bright'and cheeiy as usual, showed unmistakable signfl 
 of serioos.illness. In February she went to the ISectrical

 SamUrium, OiUFfti whera she remained a month for 
 ti«atment To no purpose^ however. I brought her 
 from Ottawa upon a Pullman lounge. She was suffering 
 terribly, biit said ehe enjoyed the trip very much. The 
 •now fall was unusually heavy that year, and she had 
 . great delight in viewing its glories from Jliie car window. 
 Upon ireaching home she submitted to another treatment, 
 ' and for a month, in the midst of suffering most acute, 
 persistently went through ite long agony. After several 
 times falling into paroxyms of pain, she sent for a surgeon, 
 . who watching her for a month, suggested an operation as 
 the only hope, and a hope very slighjif at that The 
 ambulance was ordered. Before it arrived, we had • 
 quiet hour together. She prepared herself for death in 
 calmest manner ; "I hope I may live," she said, "Life is 
 very sweet when there are husband and boys and work 
 to live for, but if God wills otherwiM, I am all ready.'* 
 And the men came into her room aUr placed her on a 
 stretcher ; she was carried down-stairs having a smile <m 
 her face and the door closed upon her cheery "Good-bye 
 everybody." We rode together in the ambulance to the 
 hospital J she was bright and chatty all the way there, 
 and she made merry over the curious conveyance in 
 which she found herself— "We have ridden together in 
 many conveyances," she said, "the carriage, the car, the 
 steamboat, the sail boat, canoe, but never a vehicle such 
 as this." The men carried her to her room, and laid her 
 upon the bed. She smiled upon them sweetly and 
 thanked them for their thoughtful gentleness. She then 
 bade me good-night, kissing me and saying we should 
 meet again, at all events, "in the morning." In the 
 m<»ning I was suddenly , summoned to the hospital— 
 " Dying/' the surgeon aaid, " and ypu may well pray 
 that the end come no^, rather than that she should suffer 
 the two months o>f agony which otherwisd are before

 She waved me away, saying I must not"t»ltff~ 
 do anything to divert her attention ^j^tmi'^rcotit^it/ 
 with death. And so for a day or two she lay ; but at 
 length she revived — and then her^iadiant joy at the 
 prospect of getting better ! Poor child, nobody had the 
 heart to tell her that recovery was impoeaibls. ' She lay 
 at the hospital for a month and th«n she was brought 
 home. H6w glad we were to welcome her I And oh 
 how' hanoy she was 1 But she. gained no strength, and 
 the pljpnncreased, and her appetite failed ; and we all 
 •aM^the eod approaching. She did not suspect the issue, 
 however, but day after day during any intervals of partial 
 ease, she made her plans for her household and her church 
 and denominational work. She Mtas going on a eea voyage 
 lor her holiday, so she said, and she ordered an invalid's 
 chair, upon which we would place her day by day, and 
 wheel her through the rooms and out on tho balcoiyri . 
 practising, as she said, for th^fteajner's deck. She was the 
 cheeriest one in the room, 4(bH^I|PH ^' ^^^^ andprettUL

 my fears, indeed the certainty of her death. She yrtm 
 tmaied at first, but soon bade me tell her all about it 
 ^ Well," she said, after my sad story was tdd, "I faced ■ 
 eath before and I can do so again." "€ome and pray 
 me." I took her hand^ and knelt by her side and 
 prayed. "Now kiss me," and when I embraced her she 
 requested to be turned upon her side, and she went to 
 sleep, and slept as she had not for many days and nights. 
 I inde^ thanked God for her sweet peace and calm faith.- 
 When she awakened she bade me take down her last 
 messages to her friends, and she dictated many letters

 — ^how ahe waa to be robed —how her hair was to b»

 don't you t" and she passed into unconsciousness. Only 
 once more could any utterance be detected-^" Don't fret " 
 waa hardly distinguished, and she lay until 10 p.m. 
 breathing with labor. Then m change was noticed. I 
 took her hands as we had agreed and prayed to the Father 
 and my prayer ended, "Lord Jesus receive her spirit, 
 Amen." With the " Amen" ]|er breathing ceased, and 
 the soul of the Beloved went %)me to God. Ah, the 
 brave struggle she made ! She absolutely refused any 
 sedative throughout the |ong agonry. " No," she s^^d, " I 
 wish to die with a clear brain." You did not see he^die, 
 boys. You, Tom, were in £n|^and-^you, Aleek, poor 
 fellow, Were at Thurso recovering from an operation for 
 appendicitia — ^you, Jack, were wattling heavy-hearted in 
 the drawing room, and Will, you were in bed, so I have 
 written all this that you, dear old ifellows, may alwaya 
 bear in mind that you are sons of a heroine who was never 
 afraid of anything in life, and for whom even death had 
 no terrors.

 Mrs. Kam opened their lovely home to us and there 
 the old Woodstock church assembled. There was an 
 impressive service, and we bore her to the burying. We 
 laid her at rest in a beautiful spot in the Baptist oem^tory 
 and covered her-4 grave with flowers ; and so we left her,
