Gard Of Thanks.

We desire to extend our sim
cere thanks TO the Christian heart
ed women of Savannah for the
aid rendered us during the illness
of our darling baby boy, who fell
asleep in death Monday morning,
Dec.13, with bronchial pneumonia.
Though entire strangers to many
OF them they h0cked in and did
all in their power to relieve the
little fellow in his suffering. At
ter ministering to his wants, when
God saw best to call him up high
er, they contributed rare flowers,
and the little mound under which
he now sleeps in the Savannah
cemetery was covered with the
choicest selection of natures most
beautiful productions. We also
desire TO extend our heartfelt
thanks to DR.. Jamo Irwin, who
attended little Luther during his
illness. The last hours of his ILL
ness, DIR. Irwin stayed with him
day and night and did all in his
power to check the disease. The
many kindnesses shown us by the
people of Savannah will ever oc-
cupy o warm place in our hearts,
May Gods richest blessings rest
upon each of them.

Resolutions.

The following paper and resolutions were
adopted by the Sunday school Of the M. Z.
Church South, in memory Of Stella Broyles
Williams who died at her home in Savannah,
November "a, 1897:
Again are we reminded that while "leaves
have their time TO fall, and flowers to wither
at the north winds blast" that death hath all
seasons for his own. The insatiate reaper
has again thrust in his sickle and cut down
one of our brightest and loveliest flowers.
Mrs. Stella Broyles Williams, one of our be-
loved teachers, will no more respond to our
roll call here.
In the vigor and buoyancy Of young wo-
manhood, when life in bright reality was un-
folding before her, she has been transported
to that beautiful city with jasper walls "where
they need not the light Of the sun, or the
moon, for the glory Of God doth tighten it,"
Her work in our school is finished, the
seed has been sown. Let US hope that we
may continue to gather precious fruitage
therefrom as the years go by. And let this
dspensation admonish us that we must
"work while it is called to-day, for the night
cometh.
May her class heed her admonitions, and
may they, and all our young people, follow
her example as she followed Christ.
Whereas, by the inscrutable providence of
God our beloved co-worker, Mrs. Stella
Broyles Williams, has been called from her
place in our school and from the church, and
family circle to her heavenly home;
Resolved, That we lament her untimcly
death, and that we will cherish her memory
and endeavor to profit by her example;
That we tender her bereaved husband and
stricken mother, her weeping sisters and
brothers and sorrowing friends our sincere
sympathy, commencing for their comfort The
Christian faith Of the departed loved one.
That this preamble and resolutions BE-
spread upon the minutes Of the Sunda,
school, that an official copy be furnirhed the
husband and mother, and copy be furnish
ed the Savannah Courier for publication.

In Fond Remembrance.

Luther Childress, only son Of II. c.
Thompson and wife, was born April IS, 1896.
He was taken sick December I, 1897, and
fell asleep at S a. M, December IS. Little
Luther was an unusually bright and beautiful
child and carried his bright sunny life into
the very secret chambers Of the hearts Of his
fond parents, Just when he seemed to be
most interesting to parents and friends he
was also most lovely and useful to God,
therefore He took him to himself. He who
took the little ones in his arms while on earth
and blessed them, said "sufer this little one
to come unto me and forbid him not, for of
such is the kingdom Of heaven"
Truly these little ones are Gods jewels.
He was great sufferer from the beginning,
and in spite of the ablest and best medical
skill, and kindest attention Of father, mother,
and host Of kind friends, the disease ran its
course and claimed the tenement Of clay
which encased the bright and sweet spirit Of
this child of heaven. The father gives US
these little ones sometimes only that we may
learn to love them, then takes them to himself
and thereby draws our lives more closely to
himself and to heaven. It often proves that
the sweetest forest flowers are the first pluck
ed. So it was in this case. The sweet, pure
spirit Of this babe had never felt the blight
ing breath Of sin, nor felt the pangs Of regret,
nor known the bitterness Of defeat. He had
only known the sweets and sunshine Of this
world. But he now basks in the sunshine Of
the eternal world and reclines upon The DO.
som Of God.
\ May Gods love and goodness tend upon
I the hearts and at last gather all home 10 him
self. E.L,C.
