Oh, how utterly unworthy I am to be thus remembered, and visited with the dayspring from on high!' for truly I often feel myself comparable to the barren field, or the withered branch."

The above was written at Hightown near Haltwhistle, where she had gone a second time to be under the care of John Hurman, at his establishment for invalids; from whose Christian kindness and treatment she derived more benefit than from any other means that had been tried. She remained many months each time, and in a small degree recovered the use of some of her limbs: though her helplessness returned when she came home. She was however able at times to be wheeled out on a fine day in a Bath chair, and occasionally to go to meetings, where her voice was still heard in testimony or in prayer, to the edification of her friends.

The last fatal attack of illness was short. After little more than two nights and the intervening day, she closed her eyes in peace with no apparent pain, not the slightest motion, not a sigh, so calmly, the precise moment could not be ascertained.

We here record the names of three more of the Forsters of Tottenham, all removed in the year 1873, and all in their respective spheres "rich in good works." They rest from their labours, and their works do follow them." And we may believe they are of those, to whom the the Son of Man from the throne of His glory will say, "Come, ye blessed of My Father, for I was a stranger, and ye took Me in,-I was sick and in prison, and ye ministered unto Me."

MARY FORSTER.

*

A short though suffering illness, occasioned by an accident, terminated the life of this beloved and honoured one. The striking humility and simplicity of her character would have made her shrink from the thought of being brought before her friends in this way, and yet it seems due to the many by whom she was so beloved, that

F

some little tribute of this kind should be given.

From early life she loved and honoured her Saviour. "Ye are not your own; for ye are bought with a price," seemed indelibly marked on her heart; and thus the fruits of the Spirit were brought forth in no common degree. Possessing a large and well cultivated mind, with great benevolence, she was able to enjoy the many interests of the Christian's life; so that whilst firmly attached to the principles of the Society of Friends, and occupying for very many years the station of Elder, a position in which she was greatly valued, her experience was, that some differences of religious views need not separate true Christians from one another. Both as regarded relative and domestic ties, as well as an enlarged sphere of action, her time and talents were remarkably devoted to the service and help of others. At an early age her character was so matured, that she was her brother Josiah Forster's very helpful companion when he commenced his school at Southgate; a school at that day of high standing. She undertook the sole domestic management of this establishment, and was loved and valued by those with whom she was associated.

For more than twenty years her home was

with some dear relatives at Plymouth; one of them deeply attached to her thus writes of that period of her life :-"I am truly glad to be allowed to add my tribute of most affectionate remembrance of those years, when the course of our lives ran side by side. Of the blessing she was to us who dwelt with her under the same roof, it is difficult to say enough, nor is it easy fully to write of her unselfishness, her benevolence, her affection, her works of faith and labours of love, of her cheerfulness, and her lively appreciation of the good and the beautiful, thus carrying out the Apostolic rule- Whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report,-think on these things.' In the circle around us, and it was large then, she was deeply valued and greatly beloved. In the families of which it was composed, the name of Mary Forster was as a household word, cherished at the time, cherished after she was withdrawn from amongst them, cherished I doubt not still by the few survivors of that once large and happily united circle."

During that time, and after her return to her home at Tottenham in 1834, her sympathies were especially called forth for those who had fallen into vice and misery, and she was thus ready to
