Ott&Ua mmU - Helen Binford left the request that the twelfth
chapter of Romans be read in this meeting for w orship."" (That chapter
was read here."
AS0S KLWLHJ - VVe are among that large group of people scattered throughout the land v.ho loved and admired and profited riohly by the life of
Helen Binford." lie are assembled here with the sense of the influence of
that particular life and home." l&y our minds and hearts be open." May
each one feel responsible to speak as he may feel moved to speak, or to
enjoy worship in silence." Ho speakers have been appointed for this occasion; the responsibilities in worship rest just as heavily on those in
the body of the meeting as on those in the facing seats," ^aoh one of
us carries the responsibility that a Christian carries in a 'worship
period.
Those of us who have been attending Sew Garden meeting during
the past three years have boen f amiliar with the sight of Helen Binford
sitting ii the center section of this Meetinghouse, end with the sound
of her voice as she spoke from time to time out of the richness of her

spirit that we assemble here for this hour of worship." May we all truly
worship together—and may eaoh one be responsive to the direction of the
Holy Spirit.

slek, she would tell some humorous incident which fitted into the conversation." She oould change pity; she could brighten suffering." Helen
Binford always lifted the cloak of the commonplaoe and illuminated the
level or conversation with her rare sense of humor." Her honesty, sincerity, and genuineness were the products or her unselfishness." Out of
these sprang the spontaneous gifts of grace, love and friendship, which
were her harvest of life.":t L. GILBERT - The life of Helen Binford meant a great deal to all
of us—and it does not seem right to use the past tense, because it
still exists and Its influence continues," m cannot recall all of th*
little unremembered aots of kindness and of love which are the best portion of a good life." We cannot count the persons influenced—students
$ind faculty—young men in C. P. S.—girls in llsxico—ilexioan Friends and
American Friends—strangers and neighbors." VSe cannot guess the far reaching resuits of a life like hers," fte have known the spirit in which she
