Looking upon her sweet, moth erly face, which bore few tokens of her ninety-three years of earthly pilgrimage, he was moved to ask her: “My dear Mrs. Adams, what has been the chief source of your wonderful strength and sustenance during all these years? Wh: do you consider has been the real basis of your extraordinary vigor of mind and tody, and has becn to you an unfailing comfort through joys and sorrows which must come to all of God's creatures?
