Resolutions by the Ladies’ Literary Club.

Death has entered our midst and taken from us one of our oldest and best members. Mrs. Hemphill is no more—she has gone out from us, never to return, and we, the committee appointed to draft resolutions of condolence to the memory of this aged member, respectfully submit the following: Whereas Death—the Grim Mower—has once more crossed the threshhold of our' club and .robbed us of one of our faithful few, therefore Be it resolved, that while we sincerely mourn the loss which has come to us in the death of this aged member, we may keep In loving remembrance her smiling face and cherish her fidelity to this club. Resolved, that to the family, we would extend our sympathy in this sad hour, and hope as life shall close for us here that we all shall pass to that beautiful realm where the rainbow never fades; where the stars will be spread out before us, like the islands that slumber on the ocean, and where the beautiful beings that have passed before us like visions, will linger in our presence forever. Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter into the Joys of thy Lord. T Resolved, that a copy of S these resolutions be sent to the family and also a copy be placed in our secretary book. The committee on resolutions respectful ly>#ubmitß the following: Whereas our Heavenly Father has taken from us one that we hold dear, in the death of Eva K. Foltz, be it Resolved, that we have sustained the loss of one of our most worthy and esteemed members. Her life was a very full and happy one. She gave much but received much. She loved friendship, and no-; body had more or better friends. Sho

gave them of her best, but she drew their best from them. Her’s was an ideal companionship, so full of appreciative interest and sympathy. No wonder that so many warmed hands and heart by that “genePous flame.” “If we could push aside the gates of life. And stand within and all God’s markings see, We would interpret all the doubt and strife, __ And for each mystery find a key. But not today; then be content, sad sad heart, God’s plans like lilies pure and white unfold; We must not tear the close-shut' leaves apart. Time will reveal the eaylxs of gold.*’ We extend to her bereaved husband and relatives our sincerest sympathy and trust that the influence of her gentle life will abide with us always. MILDRED B.
