AN APPRECI.-VTTON. [By one who knew her.]


T h i death of Mrs. Edward Burton will


long bo lamented throughout the parish of St. Helen’s. Her sudden end has accentii- .ated our sorrow because although she has only goiua the way of all fletsh the people of Waddingten .and West Bradford, who loved her dearly, mu.1 sympathised with her in her la.st illiie.ss, had no idea her p.a.ssing was so iic.ar. Wo Iiave indeed loyt a friend— generous, symp.athetic, unobtrusiva Mrs. Burton loved to liide her good deeds.


Ncivtr (lid she paradcTier generosity and yet never did she refuse to help any good work, ivluitiwer its cliaracter. The ofteiiir ii-o apixtaled for her aid t ie mere ungrudgingly she tcndeiied it .and tlilzn thought she had not done encugli. As for herself she always remained in tho backgroumb She was a lady of great humility at>l nizver took advan­ tage of her [Kisition of .afTlueiicc. Some people are very willing to help in a cause if they c.oji ha\-e all Ihrir own way. Mrs-. Burton iv.as net one of these. She he. licvcd that the work of the parish was in good hmids and resolutely siit her face against exercising miy controlling intluemix Sho did her duty simply, nobly, and with .all the greater sincerity. How liberally shi; gave to the pci/r mid hon- many d.ainties she sent to the sick will


never be knoini and it is better so. 1 hese kindly acts will live on and on. I heiridoiis of ihij aJmshou.-ws h.ad in Mrs. Burton a sympathetic frieiuL and. deix'nd upo'i ’G tiiei-, along with all the inhabil.aiits cf \\ ad dingtr.n and West Bradford, will keep her

the probationers mid P.T.’s .attending the cen­ tres, h.ave their fees paid, .and secondly, that on the receipt of .a certificate from the head teacher of the centre, tliat they had done their work sati.sfactory, tli.at the probation­ ers and P.T.’s h.ave their tr.avelling expenses paid.
