IN MEMORIAM,

WHEREAS, It pleased our Heavenly
Father on the morning of the twenty
eighth of January 1897, to send forth
his angel of death and gather into the
Heavenly Fold our beloved brother, A.
James Summerlin, aged fifty six years.
He had been a great suffer for a
number Of years. He was one of the
first to join Cotton Blossom Alliance
No. 687, Wayne county, N, O., and
has ever since been one of it's best and
most useful members, and was a regu.
lar attendant when his health per-
mitted.
won a place in every ones heart by his
quiet and peaceful nature. He leaves
a wife and five children to mourn their
loss:
Resolved, 1. While we know God in
His Providence doeth all things well,
our hearts are made sad by the death
of our beloved brother, yet we feel
that our loss is his eternal gain.
2 That in the death of our brother
u order has lost an earnest worker,
the church a faithful member, his wife
and children a true and af9ctionate
husband and father, and the com
munity a kind and generous neighbor.
3. That to the bereaved family we
extend u heartfelt sympathy, and
pray that they may be made to feel
that this d~ispensation of Gods Provi
dence is for their eternal good, and
may they find consolation in the
blessed assurance that some day we
shall all meet again in a brighter and
happier home beyond the skies.
4. That these resolutions be entered
upon the records of our Alliance. and
that a copy be sent to the bereaved
family, and to THH PROGRESSIVE FAR
MER for publication.

and laid it's hand on poor mems neces-

hands of receivers and would be
eouandered in expenses etc., and no
one would be benefited. Let US rather
use il for the use Of the Alliance to
push u enterprises, to save the order
from rusting out. Let me tell you
seriously these enterprises begun must
start. there must be something to tie
to. to unite our farmers and laborers.
What our enemies have failed to do,
destroy us, will be done by u acts If
we do not wake up to ourduty. Oh
for a3POlk to lead us out of this chaos
We can no longer wait or expect
any political party to take the place of
the Alliance as many Of US have been
doing. The Alliance is embedded on
principles which we should all strive to
see carried out. Political parties are
based on deception, lies and fraud with
no principle or consistency but simply
to get into power. Brethren which
shall we folloWG Let US get back to
u mornings: Let us make the Ali
ancef for what it was intended a power
for good to all mankind. AS your Sec
rotary for six years I believe I know
more of the condition and needs of the
Alliance than any other one member. I
believe that if your Executive Com
mittee had been permitted to continue
the work they had commenced and
contemplated your factories would be
running in full blast and you would
have had tens of thousands of mem
bers, buoyant, hopeful, united, and ag-
gressive where you now have only as
many thousands, confused and dis
trusttul not knowing which way to
turn or what to do, though standing
bravely by their flag while the ranks
are being continually decimated.- /
appeal toyou brethren to meet the issue
squarely discuss it in a non partisan
spirit. Let there be no longer any
chickering's or strife but let each one Of
US try and see how much we can do to
upbuild the glorious cause. Let each
brother worship God as he chooses and
to vote with any party he may desire
without a word of censure or criticism
for so doing. These things were vouch-
safed to each one of US when We joined
the Order. If possible let every mem
Der attend his county Alliance and
there renew his obligations and tealty
to the Alliance. Brethren let us have
more love for each other and faith in
the Order and resolve that the flag of
this organization shall not be furled
until every man and woman eligible
shall belong to it and that our enter.
prises contemplated shall beknown for
their works throughout the length and
breadth of this land. In closing this
circular letter to you I am reminded of
the following beautiful words from
Book of Ruth by Ruth to Naomi:
"Entreat me not to leave thee Oh to
return from following after thee: for
whither thou goest 1 will go; and
where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy
people shall be my people and thy God
my God: where thou diest will I die
Gud there be buried: the Lord do 80 to
me-, and more also, if aught but death
part thee and me.
