All who ever met Elise Stockinger remem- bered her, for her presence brought sunshine, and her smile was a benediction, and with the lines of the poet Tennyson: tWVhereof the one that with us trod This planet was a noble type, Appearing ere the time was ripe That friend of ours who lives in God, The God which ever lives and loves One God? one law, one element, And one far off divine event To which the whole creation moves? -In Memoriam.

Master of human destinies am I; Fame, love and fortune on my footsteps wait, Cities and fields I walk; I penetrate Deserts and seas remote, and passing by Hovels and mart and palace, soon 01' late I knock unbidden, once at every gate! If feasting, rise; if Sleeping, wake before I turn away. It is the hour of fate, And they who follow me reach every state Mortals desire, and conquer every foe Save death. But those Who doubt or hesitate, Condemned to failure, penury and woe, Seek me in vain and ceaselessly implore; I answer not, and I returneno more. eJohn J. Ingalls.
