“As A Memorial To Her”

Editor, Pike Co. Journal - The brief announcement in your columns last week of 
the death of Miss Rebecca Green brings sorrow to me and my home. For several 
years Miss Rebecca was our neighbor and we regarded her with the tenderest 
feeling of friendship. Her presence was ever pleasant and whenever there was 
sickness or suffering, she was a veritable ministering angel. She never tired 
in well-doing and to the extent of her opportunities I have never known a more 
useful woman. In the formation of her Christian character, there was 
illustrated that cardinal principle of discipleship “Ye are my disciples if ye 
do whatever I command you.”

Why do I write these lines? Surely not to call attention to that which is 
already known nor is it with a purpose of adding to her happiness which is now 
complete. But I call to mind the words of the Lord Jesus when he spoke of the 
sacrifice made by the woman when she anointed him with the ointment, that 
wherever the gospel is preached “this shall be told in memorial to her.” In 
like manner I recognized in Miss Rebecca Green “not a bearer only of the word, 
but a doer,” and I tell this simply as a “memorial to her.” - Parry Lee
