The woman‘who once cared for this memorable church has gone where all good and faithful servants go in the end. The old church is deserted now. The congregation has moved on to a fine new church. Many of them still remember something of this woman and I remember; so when I pass that church now, I notice that there is the odd gaping hole in the fine windows and the paint job looks dingy and worn. It is like a place that has lost its soul; but not quite â€"â€" there is still the memory of the woman who once sanctified it with her loving care. This fine middle-aged woman not only loved the church; she loved the minister and the people who came to worship in it. She loved the children and was the proud mistress of the cradle roll. On Sunday, she was one with the congregation. She would put on her best black dress and hat and sit somewhere near the back of the church and quietly enjoy the wonderful life that had come to fill it. This was her church, her minister. and her people, and I know that everyone had a special greet- ing for her as they made their way out after the service. In the springtime and the summer, she was out- doors a great deal. She mowed the wide expanse of green lawn until it became a soft luxurious carpet and she clipped away at the straggling edges until she was satisfied that the picture was complete. Many times she was short of breath but that didn’t deter her in the least. 'by Elizabeth Kelson This is a story about a woman who loved a church. As a matter-ofâ€"fact, she once lived in a room adjoining the Sunday school room. It was her job to look after this particular church. .a .1. v___~ L , Every time I have occasion to walk by this once lovely Thornhill church, I remember her as clearly as if she had just stepped out of the pages of yesterday. In this mood, it wouldn’t have surprised me in the least if I happened to see her perched on a ladder outside the church, washing away at the windows, exploring every cranny of the window frame with her relentless clean- ing rag. Nor would it have surprised me greatly if I saw her puffing somewhat behind an old-fashioned lawn mower or observed ‘her bulky figure bending over to pick up every stone, stick or twig that might mar the smooth surface of the church lawn. This church was everything to her, home, future, and friend. She was everything to the church, tender guardian, and devoted keeper of one of God’s quiet places. The windows sparkled with cleanliness. The lovely wood interior -â€"- the floor. pulpit and pews glisten- ed with a fine lustre. No dust was ever allowed to in- trude within the sanctum.
