sympathy, During the two days
that her body lay in state, between
four and five hundred people, both men
women and little children came to take
last look at Mother Sawyer as she
was lovingly called.
Mrs. Julia Williams, the president
of the Mothers Community Club
presided over the meeting Mrs. C.
Sawyers intimately for a number of
years spoke beautifully of her life
of service and very aptly applied to
her life the scripture verses in Gala
tians, when Paul enumerated the fruits
of the spirit. After folk song, the
president gave those present an Op-
pOrtunity to express their love and
appreciation of Mrs. Sawyer and many
arose and testified to her worth and
fine Christian character. Resolutions
from the following clubs were then
read:-The Young Mems Cooperative
Club, the South Nashville Mothers
Community Club which is an extern
sion work of the Bethlehem House.
and the Mothers Community Club Of
incorporated in those of the Mothers
Community Club was that a memorial
fund be started to perpetuate the
name and service of the house mother
and to be known as the Sallie Hill

mously voted that this resolution be
adopted and committee of Mrs. Julia
Williams, Mrs G. E. Haynes and Mrs.

| memorial fund. Subscriptions
| amounting to nearly fifty dollars were

to pay the salary of the kindergarten
teacher may be raised as the work o
the little children lay very close to the
heart of the house mother.
