l, at Knoxville, Tenn., where her work was characterized by the
same thoroughness and ability as that at Atlanta. Finding that her
health would not permit her to return the second year, she wrote in
December: "My heart just aches to go back South. Every other work
seems insignificant."

Mrs. T. N. Chase, of Atlanta, Ga., writes as follows:

"Nearly twenty-five years ago, in the beauty of her young womanhood,
she took charge of Storrs School, shaping it through those plastic
years, and leaving the impress of her grand life upon it. At supper
table to-night I ventured to ask one of the older girls who sits
beside me if she remembered Miss Williams. How her face lighted up as
she said: "Oh yes; she gave me my first Bible." Hundreds of boys and
girls have entered the college preparatory class at Atlanta University
who, but for her, would never have gone beyond the grammar school. In
the early days, before electric cars, she often walked out here,
nearly two miles, to see how her Storrs children were getting on. One
day I wanted to walk back with her a little way, but she said: "I must
go on a mile further to the home of a poor boy who ran away and has
been sleeping in my schoolroom two nights, because his father beats
him so he does not dare to go home." That boy is now Rev. John W.
Whittaker, class of '84, and pastor of First Congregational Church,
New Orleans, La. I think of hosts of others who will rise up to call
her blessed. So, as much as I loved her, I cannot grieve for her, but
only sit and wonder how that one crown can contain all the stars that
must be circling round her brow."

The response of an Indian church to the appeal for help in view of the
financial distress upon the Association, is certainly worthy of any
Christian church anywhere. In reporting their collection, Dr. A. L.
Riggs writes as follows:

"On February 10, our mission people and Pilgrim Church responded to
the call of the American Missionary Association, and made a
subscription of two hundred and sixteen dollars. This subscription
will be paid in before the first of April, and it will likely be
increased some. Of course the larger part is the gift of the
missionaries, but the Indians did well, a number contributing five
dollars apiece."

In giving an account of a service the day this large collection was
taken at this Indian church, Mr. F. B. Riggs writes:
