IN MEMORY
At a meeting of the Parish Guild of Christ Church,
Lexington, Mo-, on Wednesday, the st of March,
1882, a committee was appointed to prepare me-
mortal In reference to the death OF Miss Celia l..
kice. The following was adopted:
In the death of our beloved friend and co-worker
the parish and Guild have lost most valuable and
devoted member We review with pleasure the
time during which she actively associated with
US: how faithfully and carefully she discharged
her duties as secretary, and how she priced her
membership as affording her special opportunity
to work for the church she dearly loved We bow
in humble submission to the mysterious Providence
that has put period to her life among us, In the
very midst of its usefulness, and find much comfort
in the example she has left of true Christian
womanhood, and special inspiration for
work in life by dwelling upon sweet memory.
To the family In their bereavement, we offer our
heartfelt sympathy, and pray that the God of all
peace may be their consolation.
E. B. THOMAS,
ELLA WENTWORTH, Committee.
