this never wrung a sigh from her great heart; and within she had the
peace of God, which passes all understanding.
I am not strong enough to follow her to her last hour; nor is it needed.
Enough that her own words came true. When the great summons came, it
found her full of hope, and peace, and joy; sojourning, not dwelling,
upon earth; far from dust and din and vice; the Bible in her hand, the
Cross in her heart; quiet; amid grass, and flowers, and charitable deeds.
