Excerpt from Poems The smiles that shone through grateful tears, Like sun in April showers, Lit up through all its clouding cares The heart of Martha Powers. Life is no pastime, duty's ways Not always lead through flowers, But few have walked therein more brave And sweet than Martha Powers. Still those she loved and served in life Her memory richly dowers, And happy homes confess the debt They owe to Martha Powers. She gave her life freely, gladly, for others, not alone for her friends any one who needed help had a claim. Especially her heart went out to all who were struggling for knowledge or growth in any way. A desire for better things found in her instant sympathy and practical encourage ment. I recall more than one instance in which her few hours of rest were given up because this laborer or that servant could come at no other time for the halting reading lesson, some times in broken English, sometimes with a brogue. How gentle she was as a teacher, how wise, how patient! No one who tried and failed felt stupid under her kind eyes. How boundless.
