I have no statistical facts to give you, relative to our dear Mrs. Knowles, but I can testify to her interest in her work until the last, her lovely Christian spirit shown under all circumstances, and her love for her Heavenly Father. She seemed to me to be supremely happy and content with whatever lot was given her. I was not able to be with her when she was ill, but was at her funeral. She must be missed in her field of labor, and I am sure I shall miss her prayers for myself. Hoping this will be of some use to you, I am, Yours sincerely, M. T. FISKE. * * * * * * The annexed note of commendation from the Rev. Dr. Conkling, of this city, who formerly labored in word and doctrine with the deceased, in connection with the Allen Street Church, is concise yet comprehensive. How much is implied in these words--_faithful, loving, earnest, prayerful and consistent Christians!_ NEW YORK CITY, November, 1886. DEAR MR. YOUNG--My acquaintance with Mr. and Mrs. Knowles was so limited that my knowledge of them could be only of the most general character. I knew them, as all who knew them could testify, as earnest, loving Christians, faithful in their church duties, prayerful and consistent; and evidently living always near to Christ. I prized their friendship much; I feel how deep the loss to the church must be in being deprived of their active influence and their believing prayers. With thanks for your kindly note, conveying the sacred request, I remain, dear sir, Sincerely yours, NATH'L W. CONKLING. * * * * * * To show how greatly beloved they were by all denominations we insert this closing tribute from a dear servant of Christ, whose calm, clear eye of penetration recognized that, by prayerfully studying the character of Christ we became assimilated to His glorious image. He is a member of the Society of Friends. CLINTONDALE, N.Y., June 23, 1887. DUNCAN M. YOUNG: DEAR BROTHER--Yours received, bearing us news indeed. We had not heard before of the demise of our dear Brother and Sister Knowles. The effect of it at first, to me, was that I could scarcely speak for a fulness of feeling which it produced, and a home-sickness for the home where they have gone. My memory was immediately taken back to the visit I paid them a year ago last spring, which was _very pleasant_ and soul-refreshing, and especially to the parting _kiss_ that the dear Mother in Israel gave me on my parting from them; and also she gave me a supply of beautiful tracts, which I had the privilege of using to the comfort of two souls on the cars as I was returning home, and some of the tracts I have yet, and you can depend on it I place higher value on them than ever before.
