MRS. MARY E. IVINS
Mary E. Glasco, wife of Rev. J. R. Ivins, of the Illinois Conference, was born by Presbyterian parentage at Mt. Sterling, Illinois, July 17th, 1868. She married Rev. J. R. Ivins, Dec. 24, 1890 and died at Camp Point, Illinois, May 18th, 1894. These dates represent only the outward life of one who lived so short a term of years. From her childhood she was taught the Bible and saw the beauty of a Christian life illustrated in her own home, and very early in life gave her heart to the Lord. Preferring the Methodist Episcopal Church, she connected herself with the society at Chapel Hill, on the Camden circuit in the summer of 1889, during the pastorate of her own bereaved husband.
Her consecration was so entire and her experience so deep and clear, and her heart so trustful, that her life was a beautiful exhibition of loving service for the Master. At the marriage alter she gave herself to him who had won her affection and love, but cheerfully gave her life to the toil and labor of an itinerant's wife.
During the year of 1893 her husband's health gave way under excessive labor and study, and at the conference at Clinton he took a supernumerary relation. In the winter of 1893 he went to Florida in hopes of regaining his health and strength. She remained at home, denying herself for his good that he might be able to again preach the gospel. During his absence, and while Brother Ivins was preaching in Florida, Mrs. Ivins became a mother, and died May 18th, a few hours before her husband reached his home.
Mrs. Ivins possessed a beautiful Christian experience, not self reproachful nor boastful, but illustrating the beauty of life hid with Christ in God. She had an ardent desire to live to be a faithful wife, mother, and helper in the work of the Master, but she knew whom she believed and trusted, and when the end came it was closing the eyes on earth to open them in heaven.
She was buried at Camp Point, Ill. Thus again we have been called to record the departure of nother of God's faithful handmaidens.
