, and she was untiring in her literary productions.
Her books of poems comprise _Life-Chords,_ consisting of "Under His
shadow,"--"Her last poems"--"Loyal Responses," and "Her earlier poems;"
_Life Mosaic_, comprising "The Ministry of Song," and "Under the
Surface;" _Swiss Letters and Alpine Poems_, written during several tours
in Switzerland.

Her chief prose works _Kept for the Master's Use, The Royal Invitation,
My King, Royal Commandments, Royal Bounty, Starlight through Shadows,
Morning Stars, Morning Bells, Little Pillows, and Bruey, a little Worker
for Christ_.

_Upon_ the surface, too, you saw a woman of sound-common sense. This was
evidenced both in her writings, and her daily life. For example, she
writes thus one day: "I felt as if I rather wanted a little intellectual
bracing, as if something of contact with intellect were necessary to
prevent my getting into a weak and wishy-washy kind of thought and

books which would do it, so I bethought myself of seeing what
Shakespeare would do for me and I think my motive was really that I
might polish my own instruments for the Master's use."

Again, as regards dress her sensible comment was, "If the King's

on dress that which might be spared for God's work; but it costs no more

Yes, _on_ the surface you saw an accomplished lady, and on the surface
you saw also beaming out the fact that _under_ the surface she was a
whole-hearted Christian. This was the most marked feature in her
character. No one could be in her company five minutes without
recognising Whose she was and Whom she served. A clergyman, who knew
perhaps more of her inner life than any one else, in a letter to the
writer, says, "The two most prominent characteristics of the last five
and a half years of her life seemed to me to be her unreserved
consecration and her absolute confidence in the Lord and His Word." The
preceding chapters will have shown the reader how true an estimate this
is. The business of her life was to glorify God and enjoy Him for ever.
Of delicate health, she might have spent a large portion of her time in
fretful complainings; but she looked to her Heavenly F
