Notes	A MOTHER IN ISRAEL WHO HAS THREE CHILDREN ON THE FOREIGN FIELD Biblical Recorder, Raleigh NC, Wednesday, December 8, 1915 [Photographs and the following sketch were kindly furnished the Recorder by Miss Fanny V. Harrill, Myers Park, Charlotte, N. C. ] In the little town of Shelby, Cleaveland County, North Carolina, there is a ?Mother in Israel? who has three children on the foreign field: two sons and one daughter. This is a very rare case: doubtless there is not another in North Carolina. This is Mrs Jane Price Bostick, widow of Samuel E Bostick who died about six years ago. She is now eighty-one years old. She can attend church, administer to the sick, visit the neighbors and discharge many domestic duties. Mrs Bostick is of Scotch-Irish descent, being the daughter of Benjamin Suttle and Sarah Baxter. Her grandfather, William baxter, came directly from Ireland and settled in Rutherford County. (two of his sons were Governors of their states: William of Tenessee and Elisha of Arkansas). Mrs Bostick is the mother of fifteen children, seven of whom are living. During the Civil War, though a very young woman, she must be needs be father and mother both to her family, and she gathered her children about her and taught them the ?Old, Old Story?, and instilled into them great and noble principles for Christian living, and throughout the youth of these children they had the Christian example of their parents, - and is it strange that God should have called three of these children to do His work on a foreign field? The first child to go was Rev. G. P. Bostick, who went to Chins in 1889, and is now in PoChow. Mrs Bostick was in feeble health at the time (twenty-six years ago), and she felt as though she would never live until this son?s return. But her strenght increased as the years passed, and she has had the happy experience of seeing him return four times. More than this: her unceasing prayers for God?s work in the foreign field were answered by the call of the daughter, Miss Attie T Bostick, who went abroad in 1900, and is now in An Hwien, and Rev. Wade Dobbins Bostick, who went in 1909, and is now in PoChow. These two children she has welcomed home once each. In the fullest sense of the word she is living daily in the work of these children. Her prayers are full of their work. She is well posted in missions, as well as the national affairs of China. This requires a gtreat deal of reading which she enjoys. But next to the reading of God?s Word, her greatest happiness is in reading the letters from these children to the receipt of which she looks forward with great eagerness.
