for the following resolutions and tribute
speak in stronger language than we can COM
mand of how he WAS loved and hOnored:
A RIBUTE TO II MEMORY OF OUR
BROTHER, FROM THE KRANKos.
We deeply feel the burden of the great
a~ff1icliOn cast upon our hearts in the death OF
our beloved brother, Ben. A. Ireland. We
fully recognize the hand OF an All Wise God.
and bow I'm hu 1ble submission and say ,''Thy
will be DONE" We mourn the loss of one
whose place can not be filled-a noble, homo
rable man, whose heart was ever ready to
SHAH the sorrows as well as the joys OF his
companions. We can not understand these
mysteries Of our Father. but we know that
we shall when we meet on the other side.
Den. Ctu ITO lUnRtT Dc Win us, UuJ NB trust
that his going before may only inspire each
one of his companions with that hope Of
meeting him beyond this vale of tears. Ia
this seeming darkness and sorrow may
Heavens comforting angel- speak words of
consolation and peace 10 all these WOUNDED
hearts.
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not
heal"
We do extend our deepest sympathy to the
bereaved family, and pray that the Lord who
gIveth and who taketh away may reveal
Himself to them in their sore affection.
