Mrs. Rankin was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and remained true to her vow taken when first embracing the religion of the blessed gospel, and, in her last moments, as well as in her former life, she was happy in the love of God and strong in the faith of redemption through a crucified Savior.

Living as she had lived, well might she exclaim in the language of the Apostle, when the king of terrors stood by her bedside: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith – Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous Judge shall give me at that day, and not be me _____, but unto all them also that love _____.
