She practiced medicine very sucsessfully for thirty-five years and then gave up the regular practice owing to her advanced age, but continued to treat every one who applied free, of charge. She was one of nine children, all of whom have passed away with the exception of one brother, Jonathan Shaw, who lives at Cardington, Ohio.

The introduction was from the question of fashion in dress. The Quakers or Friends the members of monastic orders, etc. Yet dress does not make a man a Christian. Still God required all the people of Israel to wear this mark upon the fringe of their outer garment.

This mark was the open evidence of allegiance to government and to God. Illustrated in our day by fraternity pins, army buttons, etc. These devote allegiance to a cause, a government, etc. Now God does not require us, in this day, to wear any distinctive dress mark; neither yet does He forbid it. May it not be well that we should do sot If we should, what would be the object? 1.

This badge worn is equivalent to to confession of faith in the Son of God and our belonging to Him. If we are Christians, we ought to acknowledge it. We ought to follow Christ. He is the pattern according to which we are to mould our lives. He everywhere manifested bis loyalty to God and the kingdom of God.

It was woven into the warp and wocf of hia who'e life. We are to follow him therein. Mere union with the church is not sufficient. Our life and conversation must exhibit the lineaments of the life and conversation of Christ. 2.

This "ribband of blue" distinguished between those who follow not. In other words it was a mark of separation, a work of classification, and such separation or classification is necessary. God requires it. But it is not to be in self righteousness. It is to be in humility and love for a witness to the truth.

Still it involves pain. It is always a cross to separate ourselves from our friends. 3. This distinctive mark of the child of God must be worn everywhere. TVemustbe faithful to our convent; faithful in our love and devotion to him who loved us we must wear our engagement ring we most go only where our Lord will go.

4. This symbol has yet a large meaning. It reminds us of duty when we are tempted to disregard it, or to disown our Lord by some act of evil. It reminds us of the dignity of our relationship and the nobility of liie which that relationship requires The German soldier decorated with the iron cross can't be disloyal the cross forbids it.
