Show WOMAN'S EXPONENT young women upon the earth can devote themselves than that work which has engaged, for so many years, her care and attention. The subject of this sketch is the mother of nine children, six of whom are living firm in the faith of the Gospel, which their mother has so carefully instilled into their hearts. And her intense love of music and gift of sweet voice are inherent in her children. That she possesses literary ability is told in many sweet poems of faith and love which, amid all her busy cares have occasionally slipped into the publication of some of our best liteiature, but as an entertaining correspondent among family and friends her talents shine with the brightest lustre. Such lives of unselfish devotion, such untiring energy, such trusting and unbounded faith in God, such examples of purity and noble thinking and still nobler living are a mighty force in the regeneration of the world making the approach of the Millennium possible.
