Shepherdstown Register

Complimentary.—The following notice of Mrs. S. E. Bittle, wife of Rev. Dr. D. H. Bittle, former pastor of the Lutheran Church of this place, we take from the Lutheran Visitor, edited by Rev. A. R. Rude, D. D., which is a just tribute to the intellectual ability of this estimable lady, who contributes articles from her pen regularly to that paper:

S. E. B.—Our constant and untiring contributor, whose articles have been read both by young and old with so much interest and benefit, is through indisposition compelled to lay down the pen she uses so diligently. Our readers will miss the kind and loving guide, and we hardly know what to do. S. E. B., although able to instruct and entertain both the learned and the wise, yet prefers to devote her gifts almost entirely to the children, who all had learned to love and trust her. We want the children now to pray the Lord to give S. E. B., health and strength, that she may soon again use her pen for their benefit.
