p. 80	Pioneer Preachers... Thomas Thompson gave to the State and the Church a step-son, who was an honor to his name, the Hon. T.H. Laine.  It was the hope of his step-father that the boy would become a preacher, but the counsel of his mother, who preferred the law for her son, prevailed.  Laine never lost his faith in Christ, nor his devotion to the church.  He had great respect for his step-father, for his fatherly guidance.  He was an elder in the little church at Santa Clara at the time of his death.  He often conducted the services at the Lord's table, and the social meetings of the church.  He
p. 81	became a great lawyer and was a leading member of the Constitutional Convention in 1879 that gave to the people of this State a new Constitution.  He was one of the officating elders at the ordination of the writer to the ministry in 1870.  It was our sad experience a few years later to officiate at the funeral of three of his children, all of whom died of diphtheria within a week.  Laine, at the age of 57, passed suddenly away, in the very zenith of his manhood.
p. 175	Our California Christian Women... In that brilliant address of the Hon. T.H. Lain (sic) at the opening of Christian College in Santa Rosa, in 1872, he deplored the 'tendency of the times' and tells us that woman was created to break the monotony of life to Adam in the Garden of Eden, and to make his happiness more complete.  He said, 'God had created the universe, and was pleased with his work; he made man, clothed with physical and intellectual majesty, and placed him in a garden of delights; yet his dwelling was unlovely to him for, Till Hymen brought the love-delighted hour, There dwelt no joy in Eden's rosy bower; The world was sad, the garden was a wild, And man the hermit sighed, till woman smiled.'

This liberated woman is exceeding grateful she did not live in the 19th-Century.
