• Notes

  MRS. JAMES ROBSON may be mentioned here also. She was a mother in Israel, a fit mate for a man like Mr. Robson. Her life was distinctively Christian, and her character was one of singular beauty. Her face was a fitting index to her soul; she was, like Abigail, "of a beautiful countenance." She wore a pleasant smile, and her temper was always sweet You could not meet her without receiving a blessing for your heart. Like her husband, she gave God the first place, and loved the courts of His house. The sanctuary was her resort on the Sabbath Day, and the prayer-meeting in the middle of the week. In them she found refreshment and strength for the work she was called on to do. Her feeling was that of David, when he cried: " One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple." Ps. 27. 4. Some time after her husband died she sold her property here, and went to live with one of her sons at Petrolia. She frequently visited Galt, however, and it was on one of these visits that she passed hence, after a short attack of pain in the region of her heart. This came in the middle of the night. But she was ready to go in, for her trust was in Jesus alone.
