'Marianne Farningham,' is pretty well known. I have remained faithful to the firm of Messrs. James Clark & Sons, 13 and 14 Fleet Street, London, the proprietors of the Christian World and Sunday School Times, and all my books have been published by them. I have lived in Northampton for more than thirty years, and for a quarter of a century have conducted a Bible class of young women in connection with the College Street Baptist Church. The class numbers about two hundred, all over seventeen years of age. Besides my poem 'Waiting and Watching for Me,' many have been republished in America. Among my books are 'Lays and Lyrics of the Blessed Life,' 'Songs of Sunshine,' 'Leaves from Elim' (volumes of poems), 'Girlhood,' 'Nineteen Hundred,' 'In Evening Lights,' and many others. If I can, I mean to write my 'Reminiscences' before I go, as I have lived in most interesting times and played my little part in them, for about ten years as a lecturer, and always as a writer."
