at once entered
upon the work of teaching. She was married to Prof. Chase in 1862.
Two years later they went to Washington, D. C. In 1869, with her
husband, she went to Atlanta, Georgia, and entered upon the great
work of her life in Atlanta University.

Mrs. Chase was a ready and able writer, and frequently contributed
articles to the AMERICAN MISSIONARY magazine. Her heart was quick in
its sympathies for those who were depressed and needy, and the
heroic courage of her ancestors ran in her veins. She was always
ready to defend the weak. She loved the work, and sought earnestly
the interests of the people to whom she gave the larger service of
her life. Her loss will be sorely felt in the ranks of faithful
Christian workers, of whom she was one. A large circle of friends
sympathize with Prof. Chase and the family in this hour of their
bereavement.

MISS SUSIE T. CATHCART.

Word has just come as we go to press that Miss Susie T. Cathcart
passed away at King's Mountain, N. C., on Monday morning, April 9th.
Miss Cathcart has been a teacher at Lincoln Academy, of which her
sister is principal, for several years. At the beginning of this
year her health was so delicate that she did not feel that she could
accept reappointment. She still hoped to be strong again, however,
and looked forward to future service among the people whom she so
sincerely loved. Her work has been always distinguished by ability
and great personal sacrifice, and almost an abandon of devotion to
those to whom she ministered. Even in her sickness she did not for a
moment forget them. Her sister, Miss Lillian Cathcart, Principal of
Lincoln Academy, writes of her as follows: "In her sickness she has
been very patient, never other than cheerful, and always trying to
spare others any unnecessary work. She has been able to take an
interest in what was going on almost all the time, and to send out
messages and to pray for the scholars." And so another earnest and
devoted life has gone out from earth, but its influence will
continue and cannot be measured by the passing years.

A SUGGESTIVE SUBSCRIPTION.

THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY received a subscription the other day which
illustrates several things. The subscription read as follows: "Mr.
Frederick Raeder, Jurjev--Dorpat--Livonia, Russia." This illustrates
the wide circulation of a journal especially devoted to hom
