Resolutions on Death of Mrs. Cluster.
With sad hearts we record the death
Of dear Sister Cluster. After a short
illness, borne with Christian fortitude.
she passed from earth's trials and
pain into the rest of the people Of
God on July 81, 1908. She was a faith
full member Of the church, and in all
departments Of church work and q
consistent member of the Christian
Women's Board of Missions. She was
a devoted wife and mother, a true and
loving friend. May the influence Of
her unselish life prove a blessing to
her sorrowing husband and son, and
the memory Of her example help us to
do our work more faithfully in the
future than we have in the past. BY
her death the church and our o. w.
B. NJ. society loses a faithful, willing
and able helper, and while we mourn
our loss U hearts go out In loving
sympathy to the bereaved family.
May the God Of love rest and abide
with them until they, too, have
Joined the ransomed. OF her 1t may
be said;
LIES race well run;
Life's work well done;
Life's crown we'll won;
Now comes rest.

!. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
HERBERT SPENCER.

W.
How many master minds there like Buckle
who plan great lifetasks and die before the work is
done How few gcniuses live to realize perfect Or
complete accomplishment. Herbert Spencer be-
longed to the latter few. The prodisious plan he
had shaped for comprehensive series of works up
on philosophy wholly materialized during his life
labors which have had few parallels. His death
marks the passing of the last of the great pioneers
OF the school Of modern philosophy
Spencer's life was remarkable for many things.
not The least of which was the late development of
his great purpose. While it is impossible to say
that he did not entertain the design in form
in his earlier days. he gave expression to it only in
maturity: and it is probable that tho conception as
sumed the strength and consistency of purpose
only after his accumulation of the wealth of knowl-
edge requisite for its execution.
His early occupation was that of civil engineer,
in which, doubtless his preparation for the great
work was unconscious. Throughout his works, cs-
peciay the Synthetic Philosophy visible the in
duences Of his first calling, one which had brought
him to know intimately and by contact and expert
nature end the formations of earth. Later he
became newspaper and magazine writer and his
philosophy, as plan, began to take form and sys-
TEN. 'Wise to resolve. and patient to perform" he
was. Humility and modesty were enrolling virtues
OF this master thinker. None ever better exhibited
''the mildest manners with the bravest mind
In Spencer's death the century has lost leader
in the very fore Of thought. of its cmnently
great men: yet to the world there is the satisfac
tion. consong for all but the sentimental loss that
Spencer had wholly performed his work. He will
rather be remembered for the rich legacy lie be-
Qucatled than monrned for works unfinished
