How consistent were her actions with- her professions! She taught by example as welfas by precept - . A . Reverence formed a large part of her charac-te'r- . Her sensitive spirit was oft t n touched through the light manner in which the sacra-Imeis partaken of members of the Church. She lookeJlipon thir ord inarrcetrs being as sacred as the presence of the Savior Himself. She was often annoyed by the" gossip that is carried' on in places of worship among the Latter-daSaints., - She always thought that these places, ought to 'be revered as sacred to the worship of God, so that nothing would interfere with the. free flowing of His Spirit. Pages might be written concerning Sister she Hannah T. King, but her life, and lived it, speaks enough; she neds no per.sons praise or eulogies.

Sister Hannah T. King has gone to rest; how. sweet must that rest be to her. She has left traces of her useful life for our benefit. What a noble woman she was; and yet, what a pure and humble spirit she possessed." To know Hannah' T. King was to honor and respect her. Happy and favored are the persons whom she called friends.
