“This life was worth writing, for all records of weakness conquered, of pain patiently borne, of success won from difficulty, of cheerfulness in sorrow and affliction, make the world better.  Mrs. Gilchrist’s biography is unaffected and simple.  She has told the sweet and melancholy story with judicious sympathy, showing always the light shining through darkness.”—­Philadelphia Press.
