' When from the dark and unfa
miliar world into which grief plunges
us, we grope for a helping hand and
long for a reassuring voice. Friend
ship responds with futile hand
clasp and world-old platitudes. It
remfhds us that bereavement is the
common lot and time the only healer
of its wounds. It urges.us to bear in
mind the reunion awaiting us in the
bright hereafter -when only the now
concerns our stricken lives.
- But sometimes there passes from
our earthly vision a personality so
vivid that it refuses to be associated
wih the ordinary conception of
death and its sad accompaniments.
Mingled with sorrow for their pass
ing , is an elation at the successful
issue.of their earthly race, the tri
umphal reaching of the goal and we
tell ourselies that "Death is the
golden key that opensthe palace of
eternity." Such a one was Mand
Porter. Possessed of an unusually
bright mentality, keenly'alive to the
world around her to the last moment
of her earthly existence, the im
pression of her passing is one of
glorious fulfillment'. Indeed, it was
in this wise she herself looked for
ward to it simply "a dropping of
the blossom that the fruit might
swell," and though devoted to hus
band and children and the dear child
of her sister, that a mysterious provi
dence had intrustedto her care, lov
ing kindred, friends and neighbors
when the premonition of death came
to' her she was not resigned but
rather full of zest for the great ad
venture. Well-versed in the Scrip
ture, her fine intellect naturally par
took of its beautiful mysticism and
to those of us who have heard her
give to the' letter a deep spiritual
significance, it will always be cher
ished experience? But she was not
all mystic far from it. She looked
condltidns of the every-day world
squarely in the face and was rarely
deceived by them for she possessed
fine common sense. For injustice,
cruelty and hypocrisy she had the
most withering scorn, but for weak

ness, misfortune and even incom
petence, the most melting tenderness,
for honest convictions she enter
tained the deepest respect, for cant
nothing but ridicule. To be Mrs.
Porter's friend was to share her wide
interest in the trend of world-events
and in humanity's progress; to
laugh at its foibles (how contagious
that laugh) and to deplore its weak
ness. It was to enter a vast field of
speculation as to the race's future
and to find her always in the lead,
always looking for and finding the
image of God in every fellow crea
ture even though often blurred and
dim. . .' . .
To those nearest her, the loss of
her visible -presence seems and is an
irreparable one but it is well and
comforting to remember that she
said a short time before her death:
"I believe that the hereafter is so
beautiful, so altogether satisfying
that God does not reveal it to us for
fear that we would not be willing
to endure life." Her favorite Scrip
ture quotation was: "Open thou
mine eyes that I may behold won
drous things out of thy lavf." Her
eyes have been opened forever.
