She was bora in Massachusetts 1825, married in New York in widowed in 1900, lived with her two sons and with friends Worwich Town till the last. She was a cheerful patient amid the infirmities of an advanced old age with its lessened sight and hearing, keeping up her interest to the last the narrowing circle of friends, stricken sorely in the death of her beloved son, the doctor, but served and supported by a living faith of many years' stand- ng. She and her husband united with the First Congregational church in 1880, coming frem Clinton, N. Y., and she was a member of that church when she passed away. She is remembered as always men- taily active. alive to all good things, 2 good conversationalist, a sympathetic friend, a devoted Christian.

This was_ the turning point in the career of Joserh. Had he not been true and strons in his pure minded- ness, loyal and Zevoted to honor, and consecrated to nis God, he would have vielded to the temptation of a wicked ‘wouman and his name would have been trailed in the dust. Many a man exposed to such an unusual assault apon his honor would have fallen. One misstep that day would have meant his own ruin and the hindrance of God's purposes for generations. But Joseph did not fall, and man- Lood is stronger throughout all the centuries because of his loyalty to Ccd and his devotion to his own in- te:.rity. Jacob, his old father, came down at length to his last sickness, and there on his deathbel under the inspiration of exalted feeing and aided by thg spirit of God, he prophesied concern- irg his sons. ‘When he came to Joseph he sang: “Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a fountain; his branches run over the wall. The archers have sorely grieved , and shot at him, and persecuted him. But his bow abode, : Going on frim this thou , Jacob zives the credit for Jo- feph’s strength to the Lord. But if Joseph had not availed himself of the Feip of one mig'itier than himself, he “vould have fallen in the midst of the battle. The conditicns with respect to temptation are rot different in these days from thosc da of Joseph's ex- perience in Egypt. n is sin in what- ever age of the world's history it breaks forth. But there are these days than clination to lic: temptation may tially enlarged Jvring the last two or three thousand vears of the world’'s history, but during the last hundred yearg the variety of those appeals has Lecome almost infinite. Consequently there has never been a time when there has been such a demand for clean living as now. And it is a mat- ter of encourazement that there was never a time when the premium upon character—good character—was — as high as it is today. It seems to me to be a matter of hopefulness that the world has become more and more sen- sitive as to all outrages against de- cency. It is a wholesome sign of the times that English society is at present scandalized over the disclosures that have just come to light regarding the high-handed performances of Lady Cornwallis-West. These things have always gone on, but people have not always cared. I'cople are beginning to rcalize that virtue is above the price of rubies and tha: when a man loses his honor he has nothing left even though he may bé a multimillionaire. People are becoming aware of the fact that when a woman loses her virtue she might as well be buried unless she tirns at once away from her sins tow- ards the merciful Christ. Joseph seemcd to understand that his only safety in the midst of the temptations of that heathen court wese-reliance upon God and determina- tion to maintain his personal purity at whatever cost. How much depended ‘wpon that momeat: more than he could possibly understand at that time. In ofter years he could look back and taank God that ke was kept from ruin. And the old man was so thankful that iv his death song he could say of Joseph: “His bow abode in strength. ‘What are the reasons why men should lead clean lives? O, there are thousands of reosons. But there are three reasons that are outstanding and that include a great many others. Tirst, that clean living is absolutely rrerequisite to the largest kind of suc- cess in this world. It is the long road tnat tests the traveler. Joseph would have soon come to the end of his use- filness had he compromised with sin. The men who have built great, abiding institutions are men who have led clean lives. Other men who have been corrupt in high places have sooner or later round their level. Only men of clean lives reach the highest g00d for themselves and for others. A second reason why clean living is to be desired is because of the inward satisfaction that comes from personal purity. The covscience is on that side. T'ennyson represents the young knight as saying: “My strength is as the strength of ten because my heart is pure” A man’s hattles are half fough if he knows he is right with God and right with his fellow men. There is immeasureable strength in the coh- sciousness of integrity. Thrice armed 18 he who feels his cause is just. In the third rlace, clean lving is desirable becauve it is pleasing to God and is absolutaly prerequisite to any 2pproach to the presence of God. The Fralmist inquired as to who might stand in God's holy place or on His holy hill. and his answer to his own cuestion was: “He that hath clean Lands and a pura heart, who hath not hifted up his soul unto vanity ner sworn deceitfully.’ As though _that sentiment found an echo in the heart of the New Testament, Jesus _said: “Plessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.” May there not be in_ these reasons an appeal to each one of us to live the life of purity, free from the entangle- rients of ein, devoted to the high pur- pose of making Christ king?
