Few have sung, in a long lifetime, more than she sang. She led the saints in singing at Mars' Hill, Ala., for thirty long eventful years. But she can sing with teh saints on earth no more. She makes sweeter, with her singing, the paradise of rest to which she has gone. Her favorite invitation song was "Softly and Tenderly." - L. B. W."
