Sho had been a membor of the Grace Street Baptist Church and Sunday school for forty years. and a moro loyal and devoted member the church has possibly never had. When she enters the pearly gates she wlll no doubt be greeted wlth: "Hungry, and you fed ine: naked, and you clothed me: slck and in nrlson, nnd you visit? ed me.
