TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

At a meeting of the Woman's Aid
Society of White Stone Baptist church
May 1st, 1902. the following resolutions
were read and adopted:
In the death OF sister Andrew Hardy we
have lost most valuable member She was
faithful in all her duties. She delighted in
the services of the sanctuary and attended
regularly until feebleness prevented. We
miss her bright, cheerful face and will miss
her wise counsel. Her devotion to her hus-
band and children was strong and beautiful.
in the homo circle. as well as church, she will
be sadly missed. for her home influence, was
wonderfully felt.
Death, the golden key that opens the palace
of eternity, came to her ON the sth day of
April, ls0e, when the early morning air was
redolent with the perfume OF flowers and
musical with the lays OF the birds of early
springtime, and when nature seemed to be
inviting all to live and be Joyous: none to die.
But how true: "Thou hast all seasons for thine
own. . DEATH" In the tomb In White Stone
baptist cemetery is incased her mortal body;
in the land where everlasting suns shed ever
lasting brightness we trust is her immortal
soul.
RESOLVED, I. That while we bow in humble
submission TO Him who doeth all things well,
yet we feel that not only our Aid Society and
the church have sustained great and almost
irreparaDle loss. but that the community at
large has lost II kind and true friend, as well as
an earnest Christian worker,
Resolved, 2. That we tender our heartfelt
sympathies to her husband and bereaved
family. and may the rich consolation of the
gospel sustain and comfort them in this great
hour OF need.
Reeotred, 8. That these resolutions be
spread on the minutes of our society, a copy
be sent to the family and a copy to the vlR-
GINA CITIZEN for publication.
