under their influence.
Second That to the loved ones, who
miss the beloved gentle presence, we
offer our human sympathy, fol their
human sorrow, but bid them remember
that it is the Divine Master who can
saw, II know thy sorrow, and thy
daily grief count tiny suiferings and
do send relief - And that
.sHere on the borders of that better
land,
Shall pains sharp ministry forever
cease
Then shall we bless thee safely landed
there,
And know above how good thy teach-
ings were
Then feel Thy keenest strokes to us in
love were given,
That hearts most crushed on earth,
shall most rejoice in Heaven
Third. That copy OF these resolu-
tions be furnished the families OF these
two honored, sainted ones, who have
''passed over the border, and a
copy spread upon the pages of our
memorial minutes. In His name we
offer the above as loving tribute TO
those whose long life was spent in the
Masters service, and whose old age
was but the herald of the day, which
has no night.
Respectfully submitted,
