RLING,
A NATIVE OF BAMBOROUGH, AND AN INHABITANT OF THESE ISLANDS,
WHO DIED OCTOBER 20, 1842,
AGED 26 YEARS.

But the best memorial is in the hearts of the people, who love and
revere her still. The name of Grace Darling will not be allowed to
sink into oblivion. Mothers will utter it to their daughters, sisters
to their sisters, and friends to their friends. No excursionist will
take a seaside holiday in the north without wishing to see the Farne
Islands for the sake of her who has done so much to make them famous.
There will always be boats named after the heroine, and children, too,
who know her name. And God grant that there may always be many
imitators of her courage, unselfishness, and humanity, and that, though
their deeds be of a humble kind, they may still be remembered for them.

"Needs there the praise of the love-written record,
The name and the epitaph graved on the stone!
The things we have lived for, let them be our story,
We ourselves but remembered by what we have done.

"Not myself, but the truth which in life I have spoken,
Not myself, but the seed that in life I have sown,
Shall pass on to ages--all about me forgotten,
Save the truth I have spoken, the things I have done.

"So let my living be, so be my dying;
So let my name lie, unblazoned, unknown;
Unpraised, and unmissed, I shall still be remembered--
Yes, but remembered by what I have done."--Dr. Bonar.
