Synopsis: "WE ARE TOO PRONE to forget how many-sided were her strenuous labors during the more than thirty years she spent in alifornia: (1) She was the inspiration and genius of the great Sunday School of the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood, with its some 6000 members! (2) In that Sunday School she herself for many years taught its now famous college class--and administration and teaching gifts do not very often go together. (3) She was the founder of the Gospel Light Publications, whose literature has done so much to save many Sunday Schools from compromising or destructively liberal Sunday School study books. (4) She saw come into reality her vision of a Bible conference center at Forest Home, where, I think it can be said, a greater work has been done each year in the College Briefing Conference than in any similar gathering since those conferences held at Northfield by Dwight L. Moody. (5) Dr. Mears' own messages at conventions across our entire land brought inspiration and a deeper understanding of the essential task of a Sunday School teacher to unnumbered multitudes."
