IN MEMORY OF MRS.
 IDA WELLS HAWKINS.

The thought of the gladness of her Welcome Home" almost stays our tears and brings comfort to our aching hearts when we think of her who slip ped away from the detaining hands of love September 9th, 1915. and en- tered the presence of the Master to whom she had long years ago yielded her hearts devotion. Her life has given up the pain and weakness to peacefully rest and calmly sleep for when the summons came it was not to go gfoping through the Valley of the Shadows, for there were no shadows for her. The King was there to shed the light of His glory and triumph across the dark waters.
 Looking back on the life that has just closed and begun in the Saviour's presence one word comes to us over and over again, it was an upright life. From early childhood her obedience to whatever she believed to be right was strong characteristic
 Particularly earnest, kind and con- seientious by nature, these faculties were developed and ripened by the fellowship with her Lord. Long life was denied, but "No good thing will He withhold from them that walk up- rightly We know that longer stay here was not good for her. It is to the one that walketh righteously and speaketh uprightly that the marvel oas promise is given, "Thine eyes shall behold the land that is very far off" And she has entered into the fulfillment of this promise. The pure soul took it's flight from earth and aseended on high to hear the song of angels, with heart fully attuned to the music of the skies. And we as members of the Methodist church, adult Missionary Society and Sunday School deplore the death of cur friend and co-worker, Mrs. Ida Wells Hankins, who in the wisdom of God, has been called from earth's labor to heavens reward; therefore be 1t resolved,
 First-That we bow in humble sub mission to the will of Him who doeth all things well, assured that our loss is her eternal gain.
 seeond-That we should emulate the virtues of our departed sister. It can be said of her "the law of kindness dwelt on her tongue; she stretched out her hands to the poor and needy; she looked well to the ways of her household; ;her children rise up and call her blessed and her husband praiseth her within the gates"
 Third-That while we deplore her loss we realize that the heaviest blow has fallen on the bereaved family to whom We extend our heartfelt sympa- thy.
 Fourth-That a copy of these reso- lutions be furnished the family and to each of the local papers with the re- quest that they be published; also that they be entered upon each of our re- cords.
