The death of Mrs. b. III. Mason, record
ed in another item, is grief to the entire
community, and her friends have much
sympathy.
Resolutions adopted by the Christian
Endeavor society of E. Craftsbury, on the
death of Mrs. B. H. Mason:
WHEREAS, For the first time since our
society was organized, it hath pleased the
Master, whose we are and whom we serve,
in His wise, though to us, mysterious
providence to enter our midst and call
from our ranks one of our active MEM
bers, Mrs B. HI. Mason;
ResoLUed, That though to us it is
strange providence, yet we bow in sub
mission to the will of our Master, know
ing that He that is infinite in wisdom,
never erreth, and that he hath told us that
what he doeth now we cannot understand,
but that we shall know hereafter.
That as we deeply deplore our loss we
bow in humble submission to the will of
our Father in heaven, without whose care
not even one sparrow falls to the ground.
That we record our thanksgiving to God
that she was permitted to labor with us in
our meetings, and though we shall see her
face no more we can and do rejoice in the
belief that she has gone to be with Christ,
whom she humbly, vet lovingly and de-
votedly served.
That we be admonished to follow more
closely in the footsteps of our Leader,
realizing that youth is no shield against
death, but to the young and the old the
command is the same, "Be we also ready"
and that it becometh such creations as we,
| standing at the door of eternity, to take
diligent heed to our ways that when the
cry is made to, ''Behold, the Bridegroom
| cnnopfb - we " no du oil tn. forfh
! to meet Him.
That we commend the sorrowing hus-
band, children and brothers, companions
and friends to Him who comforteth us in
all our Affections, for He hath said, ''Call
upon me in the day of trouble, / will de-
liver thee; will never leave, will never
forsake thee"
That a copy of these resolutions be
handed to the bereaved, and that! one be
sent to the MONITOR.
