 connected with this church has become one of 

 the largest in the city, and Mr. and Mrs. 

 Sprunt gave their hearty sympathy to its 

 growth and development. Mrs. Sprunt's spe-

"Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation 



That God, in Whom they live and move, is love: 



Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious; 

 Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way; 



Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious; 

 And all thou spendest Jesus will repay."

From far-off China comes the solace of be- 

 lieving prayer and the assurance that those 

 whom she had led into paths ending in heaven 

 honored and held onto her still. At this mis- 

 sion Mr. and Mrs. Sprunt had founded and 

 sustained schools for instruction in practical 

 studies and contributed to a hospital for the 

 suffering, at an outlay of many thousands of 

 dollars. The staff, consisting of a dozen 

 teachers from her own Southern people, a 

 score of native teachers and a multitude of 

 children joined in the memorial services, held 

 the Sunday following her death.
