A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO THE MEMORY OF
MRS. MARY HUGHES JONES, PITTSBURG, PA.
BY REV. J. TWYSON JONES.

A gloom of sadness was cast over 8 large portion of the Welsh community in

Pitt burgh the other day, when it was learn. ed that Mrs. Mary Hughes Jones, the beloved wife of Mr. Jonah Jones, Locust Street, was dead. She was taken sick of pneumonia on Sunday, Dec. 3, 1893, and her death occurred on Monday, Dec. 11th Mrs. Jones was born at a farm house named Glaw'rhyd, in the neighborhood of Llanbrynmair, North Wales. She came to this country 54 years ago. The names of her parents were Nathaniel and Mary Hughes, and she had a number of brothers and sisters. One of her brothers was the late Evan Hughes of Pittsburg, whose esteemed widow is now living with her daughter, Mrs. D. J. Evans, Woodlawn Ave. Her eldest brother, Thomas Hughes, is still living at Glaw'rhyd. She was received into church fellowship at Capel Isaf, Llanbrynmair, by Rev. John Roberts, the father of the "three illustrious brothers,' and she cherished the memory of her first pastor with reverence and affection to the end of her life. Indeed, all ministers of the gospel were held by her in the highest esteem. Our sister came to this country in company with the late Dr. Chidlaw and several others from Llanbrynmair. After spending a few months at Ebensburg, Pa., she settled in Cincinnati, where she was noted as 8 dressmaker and a good singer. It was there she first met with and was married to, Mr. Jonah Jones. In a year or two the family removed to Pittsburg, but owing to a depression in trade they returned to Cincinnati. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were among the first to assist Dr. Chidlaw in organizing a Welsh Congregational Church in that city. At a meeting called by Dr. Chidlaw for the purpose of forming a church, Mrs. Jones (Mary Hughes then) broke out publicly in fervent prayer, and so powerfully was the presence of the Lord manifested that the wuole congregation remained and consecrated themselves that evening to the Savior.

At the end of two years the family again came to Pittsburg, and here they have resided ever since. Here she identified herself with the "little cause" which in subsequent years developed into the large church, now meeting for worship on Fifth Avenue, and she continued to be one of its most honored members to her last day The chief constituent elements of her Christian character were unfailing faithfulness, devoutness of spirit, sweetness of disposition and liberality of heart. Her religious zeal manifested itself in her regular attendance upon the services of the sanctuary, and in her contributions toward every movement relating to the prosperity Christ's Kingdom. She was for many years a faithful member of the Sabboth School, and seized every opportunity of

frequenti g every "means of grace." She possessel something more than a Sunday religion. She considered it as much a duty and privilege to attend the week evening services as the preaching services on the Sabboth In her home her wisdom, tact, aud devotion, made her an ideal wife and mother. She also possessed in a remarkable degree the power of self-control. During her voyage to this country a fierce storm raged at sea and threatened to engulph the ship and all its passengers in the angry deep. The tossing of the vessel caused the fresh water used for drinking and cooking purposes to escape through the partition, int the room in which the emigrants from North Wales were seated. They grew wild and frantic, horrified at the thought of being drowned at sea. Half crazed with fear they yelled and shrieked and leaped about the room. But our sister, amid her tumultuous surroundings, was calm and self-possessed, and succeeded in quieting their apprehension by assuring them that the prayers of "Mari Ty-Pella," and others at Llanbrynmair in their behalf, could not have ascended to heaven in vain Her unruffled confidence and winning manner quelled the disturbing misgivings of the whole company.

Just before her death she had two pleasant dreams. She saw a beautiful pool of placid water, and Christ coming across in a boat to where she stood on shore. He said to her, "I have a boat, and if you choose I will put you across on the other side." When she awoke she related her vision with much joy. She again fell asleep and dreamed once more. She beheld a very lovely country, called "Immanuel's Land." Soon after this she breathed her last, and I have no doubt that the "Divine Ferryman" she beheld in her first dream conveyed her quietly across the water and landed her safely on the shores of the immortal country. She was the mother of nine children, five of whom are living, viz: Mrs. Lewis, Parisville, Ohio; Mrs Arnold N. Bank, Clarion, Pa.; Nathaniel Jones, (one of the firm of Evans, Cunningham and Jones); John Jones, druggist, Fifth Avenue; and Evan Jones, real estate agent. mains were interred at Honewood Cemetery on Wednesday, Dec. 13th, the officiating ministers being her own pastor and Rev. G. Shaffer, pastor of the M. P. Church. A memorial service for her was held at the Fifth Avenue Congregational Church on the following Sunday evening, Dec. 17th, and a large congregation was present. The heart's prayer of the writer is, that the sustaining power and consolation of our Heavenly Father may be given her kind husband and children in their sad trial.

Her re
