The greatest nten and women of
this world are they who perform
the humblest tasks. It is they who
carry a cup of water to an ailing
soul; a bite of bread to an aching
atomach; or a ray of consoling
comfort to broken and contrite
hearts. Little do we hear of them
hut they go about, day by day, not
social workers In a sense o fthe
word—but God-fearing people,
bulwarked with the faith of the
Master, believers that “A Mighty
Fortress is Our God.’*
Mrs. Irene Cole Lroxton. 2tso4
Bethlawn. Ferndale is one of
these. When we stopped at her
home a few days ago for a pleasant
chat, as we heard her tell modest
ly of some of the many activities
she was to carry on, we could see
that, with such faithful “Marys" as
she, the church snd it* principles
can never die.
As we urged Mrs. Croxton lo tell
us of her efforts, we learned that
for 30 years she has been a staunch
member of second Baptist church.
For 30 years she has sung in the
choir. She was the first member of
the church to N> baptized by the
R°v. Mr. Bradby, the stalwart pas
tor.
anted To Help
But. Mrs. Croxton has not been
content with singing. She has look
ed about her In her community
and has seen that “the strong
must, bear ihe infirmities of the
weak." No night is too dark for
nor day too dreary for her to get
oit of her bed and leave her home
and home duties lo help some
needy person. This very clay she
was taking care of final arrange
ments for the burial of the late
Mrs. Pearl Dorsey, whose funds
per was administered.
All are welcome to worship at
Second Baptist at any time. Miss

Mrs. Croxtng
liad been exhauated by expenses o(
sickness. Mrs. Croxton was prov
ing a real Samaritan by making
sure that the deceased would have
a inristian burial.
Pioneer Worker
For seven and a half years this
Friend to Man, lor her motto is a
part of the poem and it is written
in invisible, yet indelible letters,
above her threshold, has made
trips, as a member of the priaou
leform committee of Second Bap
tist church, to the house of cor
lection and the prisons at Jackson,
Mich., and at Marquette. She has
taken much pleasure in reviving
downtrodden spirits behind the
gray walls, but never has carried
cut her mission with pity or over
done sympathy.
Through her efforts men and
women have been paroled Much
more, she has found Jobs for these
people worn society often re
jected. They have faith in her, and,
with few exceptions, they have
followed in the newer way she has
tried to show to them.
Ked Cross Honoree
Mrs. t'roxton has been honored
by the Red Cross of America as a
member of the Blue Veil. The late
Mrs. Cornelia Young, a member of
Bethel AME and a close co-worker
of this character, had the Blue
Yell Both are smybollc of great
service for work done in the First
World war.
Mrs. Croxton believes that, in
every man. there is a spark of
manhood which Is often unseen by
the busy world. It has always been
her desire to help men lift them
selves.
Perhaps this woman’s fine Inner
resolve Is responsible for the
touching hook of poems she has
written. “Book of Golden Thought"
This is dedicated to her mother.
Surely the work Mrs. Croxton
has done is like that of many other.
She Is like a Florence Nightingale
who did not let hail or sun stop
her. Perhaps she Is like Juliette
Derricotta who knew that humani
ty would die if unnourished.
Eight-Mile road is fond of Mrs.
Croxton and her work. Mrs. Crox
ton love* he r duties and has an
epen door for any man or woman
j who romes burdened with grief,
I diacouragement and unhappiness.
Perhaps, as she goes about she
i sings this tune: "Brightly beams
our Father's mercy; from His
lighthouse evermore; hut to us He
( gives a keeping; of the lights along
the shore.” she has placed service
I before selfishness B.P B.
