MEMORIAL The life of Miss Janet MacGregor was spent in heroic service. Her deep concern for the lost and needy prompted her to live a life of self-sacrifice that caused many to think of Him who was called wonderful. Feeling the warmth and tenderness of her intelligent sympathy, one was reminded of the softness and beauty of a bright morning in May. Because of her radiant spirit of fellowship, she had a magnetic personality that drew people to her irresistibly. Even when she gave a hint or word of correction, it i seemed to strengthen the bond of affection so that one felt as though Miss MacGregor had a personal interest in him. 'fSister Mac knew the faults of the students, yet she loved them. Her rod of correction was wreathed in roses. As Dean of Vllomen at the college she became endeared to the hearts of many boys as well as girls. Her interest for the well- being of the school was manifested in her ' devotion to every part of her work. If she had not served so persistently as she did she would have been with us yet. perhaps. Hut there is the truth that Jesus expressed when He had to choose between the easy road to Athens and the road of death that led to jerusalem. He said, He that loveth his life shall lose itg and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me let him follow mef' If there is any word that characterized the life of Sister Mac it was service, in which re- - ' spect she followed the illustrious example of MISS JANET MCGREGOR the Master. She might have. lived longer if she had served less, but she will live longer in our rememberance because she served more. She was never too tired or over- burdened with her regular duties to aid someone. Diligently she guarded both the interest of the school and pupil with jealous care. HA gracious woman retaineth honour, for the desire of the righteous is only good. As she scattered her life it increased abundantly in hearts. She was loyal, faithful, and sacrificial in her services, both to God and the church with which she was affiliated. In faith she was a 'believer on the Lord Jesus Christ, in knowledge, a disciple, in character, a saint, in influence, a light, in conflict, a soldierg in communion, a friend, in progress, a pilgrimg in relation- ship, a child, in expectation, an heir of God, joint heir with Christ jesus. Miss MacGregor was born in Prince Edward Island, February 8, 1882, and departed this life from the Anderson County Hospital in Anderson, South Carolina, March Z, 1937, at 9:20 P. M. Pneumonia was the fatal affliction. For a number of years she lived in New Bedford, Massachusetts, after which she moved to North Carolina. About thirty years ago she took a definite stand during a mis- sionary service which was held at the Smith Mills camp meeting to give her life to rescue work. Leaving her employment, she went to Asheville, North Carolina, where she served faithfully for twenty years as Matron of Faith Cottage. During her eight years of unstinted service to the Vlfesleyan Methodist College, she successfully endeavored to increase the beauty of the campus, to improve the appearance of the dining room, and to make the girls' dormitory more homelike. Her passing was ,keenly felt, and it brought forth the unanswered question, VVho can take her place ? , Un Sunday, March 7, at high noon, in Greenwood Cemetery at Asheville, North Carolina, we laid to rest all that was mortal of this good woman. Her kind Izcarf was a garden, Her kind flzouglzfs were as roofs, Her kind words were as flowers, Her kind deeds were as fruits. Fourteen
