Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoir of Mrs. Mary E. Van Lennep: Only Daughter of the Rev. Joel Hawes, D. D. And Wife of the Rev. Henry J. Van Lennep, Missionary in Turkey To few, perhaps, whose period of action was so limited, could the above sentiment be better applied, than to the subject of this memoir. Her life, though short, was filled up with acts of beneficence and love; and although many of those acts, like fragrance borne upon the breath of morning, and then scattered by the winds of heaven, can never again be gathered; yet something remains in the memory of those who best knew her, and something more in her writings; and it is hoped that from these two sources a little volume may be made, which will be both interesting and profitable to the young. In regard to the following memoir, it is proper to remark, that it was not attempted under the impression that the subject of it possessed extraordinary powers or attainments. Such qualifications, however desirable in themselves, or coveted by others, are not deemed indispensable to a life of usefulness. A friend remarked, "I know of no character more worthy of being presented as a model for the young, than Mary´s; and for this reason, among many others, that it exhibits no unattainable excellence.
