One secret of her success is the fact that her love for children is the love of a Mother and it has cheered and comforted many a young life. She has given generously of her best to the hundreds who have come under her influence and it may truly be said of her that her children arise up and call her blessed. Life deal kindly with her for many years' Hope make glad her comings and her goings' Love surround her path always' Faith show her that Love s best gift comes last l Annie E.
