loved sister, Mrs. Dorothy Scott, who
vas the founder of this organization
more than twenty years. ago, and for
many years the leading spirit i'm all
our gatherings, always at her post,
prompt, active n energetic, inspir-
ing others with her own zeal and cour-
age, therefore be it
ResoIUed, That while we bow sub
missively to Him who doeth all things
well, and ever cherish in loving re-
membrance her labor of love and en-
ulate her example in active, earnest
work for the church and the advance
ment of Christ's kingdom.
ResolUed, That, seeing our members,
one by one, lay down their work here
to answer the Masters summons,
"Come up higher" we should strive
more earnestly to carry on the work
she SO much loved, until we, too, join
the ranks of the redeemed.
WHEREAS, Death has again invaded
our circle and taken our dear sister.
Mary Walker, from us while yet in the
midst of active labor, therefore be it
ResotUed, That, while we sorrow for
our sister, and deeply deplore our loss,
we sorrow not as those without hope,
for surely she has gone from labor TO
reward.
ReSolOed, That we always keep in
loving memory her ready, willing,
helpful nature, and her many deeds of
kindness and love-.
That we strive to conform our lives
to the same great pattern she did.
Truly she hath done what she could.
