Resolutions upon the death OF Mr.. Gull
mer were adopted this afternoon by the
Commercial clubs board OF governors as
follows:
The arm OF a master has been
stricken while making its master
stroke.
The rcsistlcss might of death has
destroyed the cogency and skill OF
matchless hand.
In the midst of a dexterous and de-
voted coloring of all that's beautiful
in life, forming II into shape that 9TH
ers might understand:
Just as heart head and hand had
been harmoniZed to concurrent and
coordinate conduct by hardship,
struggle and victory.
Before lifes shadows had begun
perceptibly 10 lengthen. Harry J.. A.
Culmer our erstwhile friend and fel-
low member, has been taken from
the light OF life and led into the
shadows.
Blessed by the handicap of lowly
beginning. encompassed about by
barriers OF poverty and ingulfed in
the darkness of obscurity. he found
his way through the darkness and
over the obstacles into fortune and
fame.
He knew the highways and by
ways of life.
served his own humanity.
Actuated by kindness. moved by
sympathy and governed by charity,
he was wise counselor: a judicious
leader and a devoted friend.
No general act for public good
seemed complete without him.
Clubs. leagues and alliances for
common welfare claimed him. home
life engrossed him. business was
blessed by. him and art was enlarged
and ennobled through his devotion.
Be II therefore
Resolved, by the Commercial club.
That in his death We sustain loss
too great to calculate;
That in his life we have a pattern
worthy OF our imitation.
That in his family we recognize
fellow sorrowers whose grief sur
passes ours. and
That expression OF our high re-
gard great loss and keenest sympa-
thy be made to them and TO the
many all who join IN their bereave-
ment
Done at Salt Lake City. Wednes-
day, Februar? II. 1914, in meeting Of
the Commercial club governing board
convened for that purpose,
The Press club of Salt Lake adopted
the following:
He gave us fully of his time and
talents: he rejoiced with us and sor-
rowcd with us: he worked with us
and played with us: he showered on
us the wealth OF his mind. the art OF
his hand. the gold OF his heart And
Tor It all. he asked and received only
continued opportunities TO forgive us.
And we therefore direct that the
records OF the Press club OF Salt
Lake City show that II. L. A Gull
mer. honorary member. died Febru-
airy 10. 1914, and that we. whose
business is the use Of words. do not
undertake to. find the ones that
would eNDreSs orr grief
