thisingly after she welfare of others.
About a year ago, when speaking
of a recent attack of illness, she re-
marked I had sometimes the feeling
that she Lord would take me to

felt herself prepared for the last change
she replied in her quick characteristic

as to her spiritual support in this trouble
she answered with energy "I will trust
Him tho' he slay me." And again
she said -- "I care not what pain
