  A Memorable Birthday.
  Mrs. E.R. Baker invited a few old friends of her grandmother, Mrs. Ford, to 
  dine with her on her ninetieth birthday, Friday, April 24.  It was a very 
  unusual and interesting occasion.  Mrs. Ford entertained us with reminiscences 
  of her early life in a cheerful and animated manner, quoting also for our 
  delight from the finest authors from whose noblest creations her mind had 
  become a rich treasury.  At ninety years of age Mrs. Ford sat the center and 
  life of the company.  More remarkable than all else is her increasing interest 
  in the study of the bible.  It was an hour to be remembered as there unfolded 
  to her wrapt listeners her comprehensive grasp of its grand truths of their 
  development through the ages; of their culmination in Jesus Christ, the Light 
  of the World, and the light and hope of her life immortal.
