Mrs. Prayer Meeting died recently at the First Neglected Church, on Worldly Avenue. Born many years ago in the midst of great revival, she was a strong, healthy child, fed largely of testimony and Bible study, soon growing into world-wide prominence, and was one of the most influential members of the famous Church family.
For the past several years Sister Prayer Meeting has been failing in health, gradually
wasting away until rendered helpless by stiffness of knees, coldness of heart, inactivity and weakness of purpose and willpower. At the last she was but a shadow of her former happy self. Her last whispered words were inquiries concerning the strange absence of her loved ones, now busy in the marts of trade and places of worldly amusement.
Experts, including Dr. Works, Dr. Re form, and Dr. Joiner, disagreed as to the cause of her fatal illness, administering large doses of organization, socials, contests, and drives, but to no avail. A postmortem showed that a deficiency of spiritual food, coupled with the lack of faith, heart felt religion, and general support were contributing causes. Only a few were present at her death, sobbing over memories of her past beauty and power.
