At a meeting OF the Ladies' Sewing
Circle of the Church of the Restoration
held in the church Oct s, 1886, the fol-
lowing preamble and resol tons were
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Death has again invaded our lit
tie circle, and taken from us our loving and
loved friend and president, Mrs F. A. Bisbee,
who was endeared to US by the tenderest ties
of friendship; and whom to know was to love
and honor; therefore
Resolved, That in the death of Mrs. Bisbee
our circle has lost an earnest friend and
worker and ourselves a companion whose
loved name and adorable nature can never
be effaced from our memory, representing as
she did, during her brief stay among us, the
highest type of Christian womanhood.
Resolved, That to our beloved pastor, in his
= hour of deep bereavement, we tender our
sincere coincidence, and would urge him in his
great grief to remember, that the severe phys
ical affection that our dear sister bore with
such Christian patience is now over; and may
he, with his little loved one, look to that in
separable meeting to come, where pain and
death are unknown. May God comfort them
in this dark hour, and reconcile them to the
decree that takes their beloved away.
Resolved, That copy of these reso buttons
be forwarded to our beloved pastor; also to
the bereaved father (Mr. Henry Bradley;
that they be published in the Christian Leader !;
also entered on the minutes of the society.
R. F. KELLEY, president.
