ianity rather of deeds than of words, his earliest care was to
introduce among the rough elements of a new settlement the
moulding institutions of the gospel. His own efforts estab-
lished and maintained the Sabbath school, and the preaching of
the Word found in him a zealous supporter. The tearful tribute
of that community, after only two years’ acquaintance, claim-
ing to mingle in the grief of his life-long friends, has in it an
eloquence of testimony which heroes might env;



Bowed down with grief, Mrs. Lloyd returned, and
soon after left for Europe, where she traveled for a
couple of years trying to recover her strength and
went to the springs to get rid of rheumatism and neu-
ralgia from which she had suffered, at intervals, for
years, On her return to Philadelphia, she resided
on Fourth Street near Spruce and became actively
interested in St. Peter’s P, E. Church, Third and
Pine Streets, then in charge of Rev. Thomas F.
Davies, D. D., now Bishop, whose beautiful tribute
to her memory | feel it proper to here insert.



DETROrr, MICH , May 19, 1900.
Dear Sir :

‘Thirty-two years ago when I became rector of St. Peter’s
Church, Philadelphia, I found Mrs. Lloyd acting as the Super-
intendent of the Infant Sunday School. In that position her
work was wonderful. She knew each child by name, main-
tained perfect order without the slightest show of authority,
and imparted her instructions so as to win all their hearts.

I shall always remember her and her noble work with
thankfulness and admiration. It is many years since I have
had the privilege of meeting her. I am glad that you are pre-
paring a tribute to her memory.

Very truly yours,
CLEMENT E. Lioy, Esq. THOMAS F, DAVIE
