A couple of days ago, I received these two images. This old copy of Memorials of Frances Ridley Havergal contains an interesting inscription reading:
To Mrs. Gray from her friend Carrie A. Henderson as a little memento of days gone by. September 11th, 1896. Toronto, 45 Rose Avenue.
I think it is amazing that we are looking at this inscription one hundred and twelve years after it was written - to the day!
Memorials of Frances Ridley Havergal
"To Mrs. Gray from her friend Carrie A. Henderson as a little memento of days gone by. September 11th, 1896. Toronto, 45 Rose Avenue."
Mrs. Haverly was a Christian hymn-writer of the nineteenth century. A few of the hymns she wrote include Who is on the Lord's Side?, Take My life and Let It Be, and Like a River Glorious. The above book (her biography) was published in memory of her life, by her sister, M. V. G. Havergal, 1880.
