legacies a beautiful soul leaves this
world are the memories which clus-
ter around the personality. Of no
one could this be more true than of
Mrs. L. W. Dallas. By changing the
pronoun, how apt the following quo-
tation becomes:
“None knew him but to love him,
Nor named him but to praise.”
Widely known, she was equally
widely admired, loved and reverenced.
I can say with truth that never have
I heard one word of criticism spoken
of her.
It was my especial privilege to live
in Mrs. Dallas’ home during the
greater part of two years. Each day
of that time I count a priceless gift.
New beauties of her nature as wife,
mother, friend and Christian were
constantly appearing to be admired
and remembered. As in landscape
painting colors will not reproduce the
greatest beauties of nature, so in the
portrayal of a wonderful character,
words cannot express all the charm
of the magnificent personality.
“Oh, who can forget the light of
her smile,
Over lips moved with music and feel-
ing the while,
The eye’s deep enchantment, dark,
dream-like and clear,
in the' glow of its gladness, the
shade of its tear.
And the charm of her features, while
over the whole
Played the hues of the heart and the
sunshine of soul;
And the tones of her voice, like the
music which seems
Murmured low in our ears by the
angel of dreams.”
