We have known some such women as this 

 Phoebe of whom the apostle writes in Romans 

 i6: I, 2, 3. One such entered into rest only 

 last week, after weeks of patient trust in God, 

 closing a life of rare excellence and full of 

 good deeds. She had done all from her 

 throne in her home and the heart of her hus- 

 band. From the home rather than from the 

 church, to which she was loyal, her body was 

 borne to its last earthly resting place. She 

 was like Phoebe — a "sister" to all the family 

 of our Father as related to His Son, our Elder 

 Brother. She was "servant of the church," 

 not ostentatiously, but in ways most wise and 

 helpful, to many individuals and to the cause 

 of Christ in "the regions beyond." She was 

 a "succorer of many" in unstinted hospitalit}^ 

 and timely help. This entire city mourns her 

 loss, and the high and low, the poor and the 

 rich are telling of the many-sided ministry to 

 others. With others we thank God for her 

 life ministry of mercy amongst us.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long- 

 suflFering, gentleness, goodness, faith." 



She never forgot a friend. Of all her 

 many gracious and lovely traits I believe this 

 was, perhaps, the most characteristic. 



There can be no greater or truer virtue 

 than this, for "Greater love hath no one than
