Resolutions from The
ladies garnatiotl
Trt Club.

q In loving memory of our dear men,
Der and mother, Sister Harriet Nc
Crary. Who left US on the evening
/. of Jan. 25, about d p. m. 1915.
1 Her sufferings ended with the day,
I yet lived she at its close, and breathed
the long long night away. In statute
like repose, but when the sun in all
! its state illumined the eastern skies,
she passed through Glory's morning
gate and walked in paradise.
! Whereas the Almighty God, our MAX
err and creator of all things has seen fit
to call from labor to reward this our
sister and mother and whereas He has
in his alwise providence been kind and
merciful to spare her to see and real
ize the life of ripe old age, to see all
of her children grown and grown grand
children.
j Be it resolved that we as members
I of the Ladies Carnation Art Club, bow
mot only our head but our feeble minds
our aching hearts and souls in humble
submission to the will of God The
one that doth all things well. Sister
. Harriet McCrary was commonly known
as ''Mother McCrary." From the fact
!, that she served not only as the mother
of her own household but of her friends
and neighbors. Hence she obeyed the
command that says Love thy neigh
; bors. In our Club meetings when her
health would permit her to attend the
members would always greet her with
a hearty welcome, for she always had
I encouraging words for US when we felt
{ discouraged and respondent. She in
( her old age and feeble way was always
ready to recite her gem, when called
; upon. Thus she sat an example for the
younger women ito always be prepar-
ed, to know her was to love her; she
twas of kind loving and frienly dispo-
]. siton always pleasant and cheerful to
all whom she came in touch. Thus her
I life was worthy of imitation. She was
I an energetic and dutiful wife, always
striving to have something, kind and
loving mother, and affectionate grand
B mother, a generous neighbor. adutiful
J. club worker, always doing her part as
best she could in all respects.
Z That sweet voice is hushed in death;
those dear willing and toiling hands now
+; lie still and cold. Those wearied feet
i that went from meeting to meeting
1 on Monday afternoons and that re-
sponded to other calls of christian dut-
: les are in our minds resting at ease in
!. Zion. And again through eyes of faith
we view her walking the streets of the
4 new Jerusalem; while here among US
she sowed the good seed of christianity
hence she reaped a fruitful harvest,
now she in return is rejoicing over her
reward; your humble servant as or
! ganizer and mother of this club voice
< the sentiment of each member in say
Ning, Weep not dear husband, dear
children and relatives. Let the hope
.of seeing her again cheer and brace
you up, for your dear departed one is
/. not dead but sleepeth. and death is
only dream.
4 We know it's but bnman, and weak
ness of the flesh to grieve for her de-
zparture has caused wound that none
but God can ever heal if you will but
ask and trust him. Let this thought
inspire you to live on, hold up your
head and realize that you did all in
your power to make her happy and
] comfortable throughout her life, you
stroye to make her last days her best
sand most happy ones. During her last
illness you administered to her every
want to ease her torturing pains and
Scool her scorching fever. you have done
what you could. Therefore | implore
you to look up with clear conscience
and say, Eyes my days will be length
sened in the land which my God gave
me for loved, honored and obeyed my
parents. So live the life she led, fol-
\ low in her footsteps, remember her
: tteachings may they always be fresh in
pyour minds as water from living
r.stream. Your grief is ours, our loss is
SHeavens gain. ''The Lord giveth and
the Lord taketh, blessed be the name
of the Lord. " Whisper down in your
laching hearts this saying "Dear Lord
thou knoweth best, Oh faith of the
grieving ones, oh hope that is born in
\ love, oh trust sublime, that can bide
\ the time, when all shall meet above.
