Death of Mrs. Emms Neyman-Action of the
Missionary Association OF the Up. Church
OF Butler, Pa.
1t is impossible to express in words
the loss we feel to-day. both as an
association and as individuals. One
short month ago our friend, Mrs.
Emma Neyman, was with US; today
we mourn her vacant seat. We will
miss those willing feet 30 quick to go
on errands of love, and the deft nm
gers so busy with all our work; the
cheering smile. the kind and hopeful
words. and, perhaps more than all,
the sweet music of her voice which
sounded loud and clear in all our
songs of praise; her singing was an
inspiration and though silent to Us
now, let Us love to think OF her as
one of the sweetest in that Celestial
Choir before Gods Throne. pra ising
Him day and Dight.
Resolved, That in the removal OF
our Sister SO useful and beloved, We
| believe our Heavenly Father speaks
to us, calling US to greater diligence
in our work and renewed consecra-
tion in this service and that we will
bear HIS voice saying TO each, "Be
ye also ready for ye know not the
day or the hour"
Resolved, That as we present these
few inadequate words of sympathy
and love to the sorrowing household,
we will pray that the same strength
which sustained her, and that peace
which frightened the sad hour of
parting and made it to her dear ones
precious memory, may now De
theirs; and that they may hear tA
Comforter saying to each of them, Il
even l, am He that comforteth you. !"
"As one whome his Mother comfor-
teth, 80 will comfort you"

| ACTION OF THE CHILDREN's AID So
CIETY OF BUTLER.
At special meeting of the Chill
dren's Aid Society, Jan'y 6, memo
rial service was held IN honor OF Mrs
Emma Neyman consisting OF appro-
pirate devotional exercises and volun-
tary tributes of affection. Mrs. DR..
Bolard earnestly depicted the value
of her services in connection with the
Society, her efficiency and zeal, show
ing the high estimation in which she
was held. Mrs. Charles Campbell
spoke feelingly of the loss sustained
oy the community, and of the place
made vacant in the social circle; and
| Mrs. S. NJ Mckee voiced the feelings
of those most closely connected with
her in Church relations.
After an appropriate "Solo"heauti-
fully rendered by Mrs. G D. Green
lee, the services closed with the adop-
tion of the following paper.
In the unexplained Providence OF
God by which, since our last meeting
our friend and sister and efficient
helper, Mrs Emma Ney man. mas been
called away, we, the Children's Aid
! Society OF Butler, desire
FIRST, To recognize the overruling
hand of kind Father who doth not
aflict willingly, but who maketh all
things, even the most grievous to
bring forth the fruits OF righteousness
in those who are exercised thereby,
and
SECOND, To acknowledge in this
event call to US to be also ready, al
ways diligent, working while it is
called to-day, knowing certainly that
the night of death cometh to each in
which all earthly work shall cease, and
THIRD, To render tribute of re-
spect to the memory of one so lately
with us, but who is not now for. God
has taken her; remembering her many
virtues, her varieds usefulness, her
loving nature, and TO give expression
to our sense of loss in manifold rela
tions; as friend TO some of Us. life
long and dear; as a member of society
| W here her influence was felt aud ac
knowledged; as Christian sister
loved and highly valued; and especi-
ally as a worker in this Society
where her place is empty. The sym
pathetic nature that went out so low
ingly to the outcast aud forlorn and
which gave to ber judgment and de-
clsions their unerring fitness is the
gift of few, and its exercise in our be-
half will be gratefully remembered.
while we rejoice that this tenderness.
unremitting to the last, in ministry
to Christ's little ones has surely not
| failed of its reward.
Resolved, That copy Of this ac-
ton, feebly expressing our apprecia-
rioa, be sent to the beresved family of
our friend. with our warmest sympa-
thy. and invoking for them the pres
ence and consolation of the God in
whom she trusted-the Savior she
loved and served.
