Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Labors of Mrs. Mary a Woodbridge The pages that follow are dedicated to a beautiful memory. Few know better than I do the remarkable intellectual aptitudes and the rare culture of Mary A. Woodbridge. These came to her alike by nature and nurture as will be shown by the brotherly pen of him who writes this book, and one who appreciated her as only a large and noble soul could do. Thanks to his loyal zeal her great life work will be adequately presented. It is like a golden thread running through the warp and woof of that rich fabric of events that we call the Woman´s Crusade; but when I think of her whom I have known so long and loved so well, it is on none of these things that my mind rests. In happy reflection and fond recollection, I seem to see her where she moved, in an orbit of perpetual harmony. She always met everybody with kindly glance, with smiling lip, with warm handclasp, with deep, resonant tones of mother-hearted greeting. This in itself is one of the rarest gifts ever received or bestowed. It makes radiant the atmosphere of home and sends its pleasant light out into the great pathetic world. Perhaps I noted this more, because it was so like my household "Saint Courageous." I do not believe that any one ever came in contact with either of these two great characters without feeling that they had done him good and not evil all the days of his life during which he was privileged to share the sunshine of their presence.
