I believe there was a great “cloud of wit nesses” watching the race and that, as she entered through the gates and Christ stretched out His hand to welcome her, there was a shout of “Hallelujah!” that made heaven ring.

grave visited, and her life and labors re viewed. Seven of our workers visited Miss Grace Mott’s grave yesterday, April 14, 1937, the anniversary of her martyrdom in 1932. [It was thought that the murder was committed in anger over the baptism of a young Jewish girl.] The record on the stone at her grave gives her age as forty at the time of her death. For two years, 1919 and 1920, she worked among the mountain people of Ten nessee. From this mountain work, she went to the Bible Institute of Los Angeles in 1921. This Bible school has a fine rec ord in furnishing workers for many mis sion fields, at home and abroad. Miss Mott was graduated, and in 1924 went to New York and worked among the Jews of that city. It was during that time that there were presented to her the needs of the great, white harvest field among the Jews of Warsaw, Poland. A few days later, with a new and deeper consecration than ever, she offered herself to Jesus Christ, saying: “Here am I ; take me.” With another young woman, Miss Mott left New York early in 1929 and came to Poland. . . Her work among the Jewish children was a ministry which she dearly loved and for which she was eminently fitted. I wrote to Miss Mott in 1931 and asked some questions. Among other things I asked her whether the Jews of Poland were more approachable or receptive to the gospel than were those of New York. She answered: “ Possibly they are a little more open to the gospel, but”— and this was in dicative of her own prayer life— “ after all, it requires soul travail to bring men and women to Christ.” , At the time of her death, one who knew her well said of her: “Miss Mott was a saint, spending many hours in prayer and even whole nights. In her walk, she was very strict and gave no offense to any. Her words were few and decided. A l though she had an excellent college educa tion, she stooped to the work o f cleaning dirty floors in the poorest of Jewish homes in order to be able to present Christ to the people.” In Miss Mott’s copy of the book, Daily Light, were these words: “ He shall be as the light of the morning, a morning with out clouds.” The last four words, “ a morning without clouds,” are under scored, and underneath in pencil is the word, “Hallelujah I” At the foot of the same page were the words, “There shall be no night there,” and underneath was that same expressive word, “ Hallelujah!” Miss Mott was slain between two and three o’clock in the afternoon of Thursday, April 14, 1932, and on that very day, beside the words: “Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee” are these words in pencil: “ Hallelujah! 1932. Timely in deed!” (Yes, dear sister in Christ, more timely than you knew!) In the morning she wrote “Hallelujah!” for the last time on earth, and before nightfall she was with the Lord. None of her friends were with her in the dying hour. There was no one to utter a prayer as she slipped away. But
