MARY KENWILL
The Board of Directors of the Aged
People's Home announces sorrowfully
the passing of one of our Directors Miss
Mary Kenwill who was the daughter of
Arthur and Catherine Kenwill, members
of the Central church in Pittsburgh.
Miss Kenwill was a much loved and
highly respected teacher in our Perry
High School for 26 years before retiring
in 1948. She was elected to the Board
only last year to serve the unexpired
term of Mrs. J. H. McBurney, and gra
ciously and unobtrusively filled her
place on the Board as a valuable mem
ber, even though the period of service
was so short. She had been made chair
man of a new committee and had started
to lay the foundation for the project.
She was active in her own congregation,
the Central-Pittsburgh, as a Sabbath
School teacher for the past 28 years, and
for two years was President of
Woman's Missionary Society.
the
Miss Kenwill was a vital Christian,
one who loved her Lord with all her
heart, soul and mind and His church in
its every phase. She leaves a nephew,
Robert McConaughy
an elder in the
Central-Pittsburgh congregation, and a
niece, Mrs. Mary McCrory of Colorado
and hosts of friends to mourn her. For
her to live was Christ, and to die was
gain.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is
the death of his saints. Psalm 116:15
STOP HURRYING!
The Bible seldom speaks,
and cer
tainly its deepest, sweetest words, to
those who always read in a hurry. Na
ture can only
tell her secrets to such
as will sit still in her sacred temple
till their eyes lose the glare of earthly
glory and their ears are attuned to her
voice. And shall revelation do what
nature cannot do Never. The man
who shall win the blessedness of hearing
the voice of divine wisdom must watch
daily at her gates, and wait at the
posts of her doors. F. B. Meyer.
