Called By God Mrs. Plummer wrote extensively. In addition to thirty years of editorials for the Worker, she penned articles frequently for the Review and Herald and authored books including The Soul-Winning Teacher, The Spirit of the Teacher, The Soul-Winning Sabbath School, and a history of the Sabbath school from 1904 to 1936. Even after health problems caused her retirement in 1936, she continued to be active. In spite of her weakness, she wrote camp meeting lessons for children and authored two sets of adult Sabbath school lessons, covering the book of Acts and the life of Christ. For most of her 36 years of labor, Mrs. Plummer’s credentialing was the missionary license. She was issued a minis-terial license in 1893 from the Iowa Conference. Her pay as departmental director was that of an ordained minister. Flora Plummer died on April 8, 1945. At her funeral, conducted by four General Conference leaders, high tribute was paid to her splendid work of directing and advancing the Sabbath school department over many years, leaving an influence that will last until the end of time. The work that she accomplished in the Sabbath schools profoundly affected the growth of the denomination during the first third of the twentieth century. (From the Review and Herald (May 24, 1945); R. A. Anderson, Columbia Union Visitor (August 9, 1945): 5; and a telephone conversation with H. D. Singleton.) Ura Joy Spring: 1873-1971 Licensed 1910 Ura Joy Spring, born in Indiana during 1873, married a young minister and with him served in the West Indies. This young wife and mother built up churches alongside her husband. After returning to the United States, Mrs. Spring developed a specialty of holding meetings particularly for children. She integrated ministry to her own family with ministry to the church community. Her work took her to Colorado, Arkansas, and Nebraska. Mrs. Spring is listed in the Yearbook for 1910 as a licensed minister in the Nebraska Conference. She died March 1, 1971, as the result of injuries sustained in the California Sylmar earthquake. (From the Review and Herald (May 6, 1971): 46; Pacific Union Recorder (May 13, 1971): 7.) Mabel Alice Vreeland: 1895-1985 This well-known woman minister pastored the entire Adirondak District in New York State for many years, performing all the ministerial functions except to baptize. She preached, conducted board meetings, and helped pitch tents for camp meeting alongside her male counterparts. Mabel Alice Vreeland was born in Massachusetts in 1895. After graduating from high school, she worked for a Unitarian minister, Miss Margaret Varnard, in Bernardston, Massachusetts. Among other responsibilities, she drove Miss Varnard to many appointments. Perhaps this early experience with a woman minister caused Mabel Vreeland to think of the ministry as an acceptable career for a woman. Herself a Seventh-day Adventist, Mabel for a time taught at the Baptist Sunday school in Bernardston. 112
