Julia Robinson, who departed this life
Tuesday, March 10, at $3.50 a. M; and
Whereas she has been connected in
our chain over twenty-five years. she
proved a worthy and esteemed laugh
ter. When in health she was active
and faithful in the discharge of her
duties, her motherly counsel and SER
vice will ever be held in grateful re-
membrance. She was ever ready and
willing to do what she could. The re-
moval of such a life from among our
midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow
that will be deeply realized by us all.
She was ever ready to succor the
needy and distressed, prompt to adj
vance that interest of the order, de-

one who was wise in counsel, fear

not only to her sisters, but all who
knew her.
Resolved, That we, the members OF

heartfelt sympathy to the family and
relatives of our deceased daughter in
this, their sad affection. We realize
that God alone can comfort one sc
deeply affected as yourself. Look
therefore, to him whose wise purposes

RESOLUTIONS FROM REBEccA
TABERNACLE NO. II.

Kansas City, Kan, March Is, 1914.
Whereas it has pleased the supreme
ruler of the universe to remove from
our midst our beloved mother and
daughter, Martha Lee, who departed
this life Thursday, March IL, at 1910
p. m, and
Whereas she has been connected
with Rebecca Tabernacle No. IL more
than twenty years, she was a faithful
and highly esteemed daughter. She
was devoted to her order and was in
strumental in its cause, ever ready to
obey the calls. The hours were
too long or nights too dark for her
to do whatever her hands found to do.
She vas a loving and devoted mother.
We will miss her in our chain. Though
she is separated from us, we cannot
commune with her again on earth,
she is gone where they speak a high
err language, to live in a higher sphere,
and when the day comes that we shall
disappear from these earthly scenes
we shall be joined to her again, not as
we were, for we shall not then be as
we were, but as they are with God.
Be it resolved, That while cruel fate
has robbed you of one of the dearest
mothers, the community it's best
friend, we the members of Rebecca
Tabernacle No. II, extend to you our
heartfelt sympathy in this your hour
of great grief. May God give you the
grace to bow with resignation before
the stroke which has fallen so heav-
lily.
Low she lies who blest our eyes
Through many a sunny day,
She may not smile, she will not rise.
The life has passed away.
Yet there is a world of light beyond
Where we neither die nor sleep;
She is there of whom your souls were
fond, snt
Then, wherefore, do we weep.
The heart is cold whose thoughts
were told
In each glance of her glad bright eye
And she lies pale, who was so bright
She scarce seemed made to die.
Yet we know that her soul is happy
now,
Where the saints their calm watch
keep;
That Angels are GROWING that fail
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-03-28

Then, wherefore, do we weep.
Her laughing voice made all rejoice
Who caught the happy sound;
There was a gladness in her very step
AS it lightly touched the ground.
The echoes of voice and steps are
gone,
There is silence still and deep,
Yet we know that she sings by Gods
bright throne
Then, wherefore, do W. weep.
That world of light with joy is bright,
This is a world of woe;
Shall we grieve that her soul is taken
flight
Because we dwell below?
We will bury her under the messy sod
And one long thought we'll keep;
We have only given her back to Cod
Then, wherefore, do we weep.
The following original poem was
composed for our deceased daughter,
Martha Lee, by Mrs. Lena B.. Downs,
OF Az Haskell avenue, Kansas ClLy,
Kan, Bell phone w. 27S1:
Last Thursday eve, 10 minutes past
Our dear Daughter breather her last;
Her last on earth lies here before
Her soul is on the other shore.
The life she lived we are aware,
Was n that gained a heaven fair;
Before Jehovah she now stands
To join the Holy Heavenly band.
If she could only speak to Kate,
Shed say. You meet me at the gate
The gates are gold, as you can see;
Let nothing keep you back from me
Teach the children all / ask,
That grandma'E tolls on earth are
past, $3.50
To love, obey unto the end,
Then Jesus will an Angel send,
To watt them to the other shore
Where pains are feared and felt nj

BRILLIANT OPENING OF
BEAUTIFUL LINCOLN
CAFE.

The opening of the Lincoln
Cafe on last Thursday even
ing is now a matter of history.
For several weeks past, in
fact since the closing of the
Criterion Theatre, the work of
reconstruction and putting in
shape the third floor at 1740
Vine Street had been eagerly
watched by the pleasure seek
ers of greater Kansas City,
and when the announcement
cards were mailed, reserva-
tons from many of Kansas
City's most exclusive set were
daily received, until upon the
evening of the grand opening
every available table had been
contracted for. A special
representative of the Sun was
on hand at 8 100 o'clock to wit
ness the most deliberately APP
pointed Cabaret operated for
and owned by Negroes in
America. The natural beauty
OF this large and spacious
room was materially augment
ed by a prOfusion of palms
and cut flowers, which virtu-
ally transformed the Cafe into
a garden fit for a King. A
siX-piece Orchestra under the
dictatorship of Milton D.
Vassar, furnished the music.
Mr.. G. O. Smith Kansas City's
popular head waiter, who
officiated at the opening of
the Blue Goose and Prince
Henry Cafes, with his regular
crew of twenty-six men from
the Hotel Kupper, uniformed
to the minute, did the serving,
and the service which they
rendered was par excellent.
The two entertainers, Miss
Bessie LaBelle of Omaha,
Neb., and Speedy Smith, sang
a Repertoire of songs and dit
ties that served only to make
one forget the very inclement
weather without and wish for
more. From 900 o'clock un-
til the wee hours of the morn
ing crowds continued to come
and go and not a hitch nor a
bobble of any description was
in evidence at any time.
The Management of the Lin
coin Cafe is to be congratu-
lated on the kind of service
and entertainment which they
are offering to the pleasure
seeking public. The atmos-
phere from every angle of
this institution inspires the
most wholesome respect and
decorum upon the part of all
who pass within its portals.
The Lincoln is open every
evening in the week and the
cabaret entertainment begins
at 300 p. m.
