Matilda Mary Arnott

With Christ.
WE regret to have to record the death [in 1891] of Mrs. J. Barber, nee Arnott, a true servant of Christ, who has recently passed away, after a very brief illness. Our departed sister was a most diligent worker in connection with the Evangelistic Mission at Kilburn Hall, and subsequently at Hammersmith and other branches. She will, perhaps be more widely remembered however, as the authoress of “Notes on the Hebrews,” which she commenced in Footsteps of Truth in the year 1883 and concluded in October 1885. She was also the contributor, at various times, of sundry Bible Readings which appeared in this magazine [Footsteps of Truth] under the initials M. M. A.
Miss Arnott was married in October last to Mr. J[oseph James] Barber, and they resided at Ramsgate, whence, after so brief a union, she departed to be with Christ. It may be truly said of our departed sister, “Faithful in life, triumphant in death.” We commend her sorrowing husband to the prayerful sympathy of our readers. C. R. Hurditch.
