The call to go up higher came to Miss Matilda L. Allison on August fifteenth, 1913. "What are we Doing?" was the last message which closed a missionary address at the first Presbyterian Church, Inglewood, California, and then without warning she entered the immediate presence of her master. Miss Allison, in 1881, was assigned as a teacher to The little Day-School at Santa Fe, which largely through her effort has grown into the prosperous boarding-school which now provides Christian education to ninety-five girls.
