At Home W ith the Lord
Mrs. Audrey Lucile Talbot
A t 1:30 A.M. on February 22, 1960, after a lingering illness, Audrey Lucile Talbot, beloved wife of Dr. Louis T. Talbot, Chancellor of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, fell asleep in Christ. While the hearts of all who knew and loved her are very sad at this separation, yet they rejoice that for her the long period of suffering is at an end, and that she is with Him in whose presence is “ fulness of joy,” at whose right hand there are “ pleas ures forevermore.” The fragrance of her lovely Christian life will ever linger, and her courage and victorious testi mony in the face of impending death will never be forgotten. She not only glorified God in her life, but also in her death as well. Almost with her very last breath she witnessed of Christ to those about her in the hospital. The last services for Mrs. Talbot were held in the Church of the Recessional in Forest Lawn on Thursday, February 25, at 11:30 A.M., with Dr. S. H. Sutherland, President of the Bible Institute, in charge. After reading
a number of Scripture passages, and paying a tribute to the memory of Mrs. Talbot, Dr. Sutherland then called upon Rev. Ralph Scoville, Visitation Minister of the Church of the Open Door, to lead in prayer, after which Dr. Charles L. Feinberg of Talbot Theological Seminary, Dr. Lloyd T. Anderson of the Bethany Baptist Church of West Covina and Dr. Robert P. Shuler spoke, all emphasizing the effectiveness of Mrs. Talbot’s Christian life and the fact that during her husband’s long ministry she was a most faithful helpmeet. Dr. Shuler, who had first known her as a member of the University Methodist Church in Austin, Texas, of which he was then pastor, told of her sweet, quiet life and deplored the fact that the kind of womanhood she represents seems to be rare in our day. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Enns sang two beauti ful duets, “ Calvary” and “ Perfect Rest.” Over six hun dred friends and relatives were present to pay their respects. (continued on page 18)
