MRS. HELEN DAVIS PRATT In a span of five short days,Death came twice to Northwest. On his second visit, Mrs. Pratt went away with him. He had walked beside her often in her life and was a familiar and trusted friend. Mrs. Pratt was many things to us at Northwest, all of them good; but,above everything else,she exemplified to us the very spirit ofcourage. The least discerning among us knew that her frail body housed a soul that was strong and righteous and fearless. The poet who wrote of his unconquerable soul lacked it for himself but coined a phase which applied perfectly to Mrs. Pratt. Life was not always kind to her; but she loved It anyway and faced it squarely, with a proud lift to her chin which nothing ever changed. Her heart was always humble, but the flags of her courage flew in victory over every field. She understood the mysterious workings of the human heart, especially the heart of youth. She taught the ways of forgiveness and unending kindness, even as she herself practiced them. The radiance of her spirit lingers across our lives with a sunset light that fades today, only to glow again to¬ morrow. And from sleep she wakes surely to glorious life, somewhere where there are children to love, and where there is work to do for others. Reprinted from the Northwest Hi-Lite
