SOULE, Caroline Augusta (soo-lay'), author, born in Albany, New York, 3 September, 1824. Her father's name was Nathaniel White. She was graduated at Albany female academy in 1841, and on 28 August, 1843, married Reverend Henry B. Soule, a Universalist clergyman, who died in 1851, leaving her with five children to support. Since that time she has devoted herself to teaching and to literature. She was corresponding editor of the "Ladies' Repository" in Boston from 1855 till 1863, and for eleven years edited and published "The Guiding Star," a Sunday-school fortnightly, in New York. Afterward she was ordained as a minister of the Universalist church, and in 1879 became its first foreign missionary. She is now (1888) pastor of a congregation in Glasgow, Scotland. In a recent letter Mrs. Soule says" "I have written everything from a sermon to a song, and done everything from making sorghum molasses in a log-cabin on a prairie to preaching three times a Sunday in the city of London." Besides numerous contributions to current literature, she has published "Memoir of Reverend H. B. Soule" (New York, 1852); "Home Life" (Boston, 1855) ; "The Pet of the Settlement" (1859); and "Wine or Water" (1861); and edited for two years "The Rosebud," an annual, to which she contributed many articles (1854-'5).
