IN MEMORIUM
1t is with sadness that we convene
as a city council this evening; a sad
ness, sorrow and regret, that we in
common, with the entire community
feel at the loss of one who has left his
impress for good upon this commune
ty, and who served this body with
ability, fidelity and integrity.
Charles Edwin Baldwin, city audit
or, has left us and we mourn! He was
stricken down in the prime of life
without warning, yet when the ire
slstible and uncomfortable approach
ed, it found him ready to be Judged
according to the deeds done in the
body" Unostentatious in his every
walk of life, kind, considerable and
charitable; doing good rather than
preaching good, living a life of loving
generosity, letting not his left hand
know what his right was doing, but
by acts rather than professions obeyed
the new commandment by loving his
fellow man.
A devoted, loyal and loving hus-
band. father and son, and all
who knew his devotion, appreciated
and admired his ;unselfsh sacrifice to
duty, and a remembrance thereof will
inspire them to better deeds and a
more heroic performance of all domes-
tic and civic duties without reward
or hope of reward, save and except,
that satisfaction which comes from a
clear conscience in doing and sustain
ing that which they believe to be
right, whether popular or otherwise;
doing right because it is right, rather
than because of fear of punishment.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy
to the widow and the fatherless and
commend them to Him who doeth all
things for the best. and may He enable
them to truly say, :''Not Mine, But
Thy Will be Done, O! My Father"
