Excerpt from The Sister as Guardian: A Sermon Occasioned by the Death of Mrs. Chloe Thompson Jenkins Permit me then to present you with a Sketch, more individualized though in miniature, of a Chris tian sister - a Sister who watched the cradle, and who ministered to the manhood of a younger brother. The family Bible gives the date of birth eighty-two years and five months ago. A girlhood not to be pictured as remarkable, yet bright, of a mold evi dently superior, with symmetry of features and form, graceful movements, womanly manners, and a general bearing above the average, presents itself. There were thoughts and aspirations higher than the pre vailing tone of a rural township. The first small ower garden of the neighborhood wels' a concession, to her taste. Thirst for knowledge, and facility in acquisition, fostered studiousness. When, for exam ple, the small volume of Jane Taylor's hymns came into the house, She soon committed them all to mem ory; and thence onward lyric poetry, especially sacred lyrics, had a peculiar charm for her. But studies that appeal slightly to the imagination - mathematics and natural philosophy - were also pursued with zest. Even the dry volumes of Rollin's Ancient History were mastered.
