Mary White Brown
One in heart with her husband
in all his plans of
usefulness and beneficence,
and in his abounding hospitalities
her own quiet ministries of
sympathy and love were unceasing
from her presence none needy or
sorrowing turned comfortless away.
The joy of her own well ordered home,
her coming into any circle
brought warmth and gladness.
Of uncommon purity of life herself,
she had ever a mantle of charity
for the failings of others,
and always checked with mild rebuke
a consorious spirit.
A rare exemplification of
all womanly grace and excellence
the crowning beauty of her character
was the meek devotion with which she
sought the will of God and acceptance
with Him through Christ alone.
