Seite 47 - Societies of the churches of Northampton and vicinity. That is only an example of her energy for work. But all this was not done merely for the sake of doing things. She cared primarily about people. Very few persons of her age had and kept more attachments to people of all sorts than she. Even the children of the families of her acquaintance had a remembrance at Christmas.

At the close of our official sophomore game, as we, crushed, tragic children, were trying to grip the fact bravely that for the first time in our college history the game had gone officially to the freshmen, it was our Ajax who found for us the key to the situation,
Seite 45 - I know not how to come in nor go out," but I am trying to leave it all with God and to trust Him to fit me for it.
