Stephen S.Wise, the famous rabbi, was advertised to preach in the morning at such a place.

"Mother was there in a front seat early, eager to get every word of wisdom that fell from his lips." Mr.Wise spoke at the Free Synagogue Convention at three o'clock P.M.

"Mother was there promptly again, in front, her dark eyes glowing with intense interest." At eight P.M.he spoke at another hall on the other side of the city, "Mother was there." At the close, Mr.Wise stepped down from the platform to shake hands with Mrs.Hermann, and said, "I am surprised at seeing you at these three meetings, and in such bad weather." She replied, "Why should you be surprised; you were at all three, weren't you ?" She had a long life of perfect health and never paid the least attention to the worst of weather if she had a duty to perform.
There was something of the fairy godmother in this large-hearted woman, whose modesty equalled her generosity.

She dropped gifts by the way, always eager to help, and anxious to keep out of sight.

Mrs.
Hermann was one of those women who sow the seeds of kindness with a careless hand, and help to make waste places beautiful.
