Her maiden name was BRUSH. At an early age, during a revival, in which many of her friends were converted, she gave her heart to the Saviour. In October, 1846, she was married to Joseph Meeker. A year later they removed to West Redding, where, until her death, she labored for Christ. Her light shone all around; her consecration was complete; she believed in entire sanctification; her life was hid with Christ in God. In her own home she was an example of love and helpfulness; in the homes of others none were more ready to minister. In the Sabbath-school she was a faithful teacher; in the prayer circle, an inspiration. Many were blessed and converted at prayer-meetings in her own house. She was in hearty sympathy with all Missionary enterprises, and gave liberally. The itinerant was welcome at her home. During the summer of 1891 she was thrown from a carriage, and the injuries received ultimately caused her death. For many weeks she was a great sufferer, but her sublime faith triumphed. David TAYLOR
