Resolutions on Death Of
Mrs. Cynthia Ann Reed

The members of the Fanny Powers
Circle of the Baptist Woman's Mis-
sionary Union wish to place on rec
ord their deep sense of grief and
loss in the passing of the sweet spirit
of Mrs. Cynthia Ann Reed from her
home in tbs city September 25th,
1920, to the ''Home Not Made With
Hands,"
With a nature free from guilt or
prejudice, loving, forgiving and gen.
erous, she was at all times our in
spiration.
Vividly do we recall today our
last meeting with her. When she was
asked to read the chapter for the
next meeting, with an angelic smile
she answered: "T'll do the best I
can" We felt then, as we do to-
day, that scripture selected by a
saint Of God would be fraught with
deeper meaning, but whatever it
might have been, we know it would
have been alight with Gods love and
benediction. We shall always be
deeply grateful for the example Of
her rare, sweet. tenderness and for
the great precept she unconsciously
left us-a precept that was hers
through all the walks of life-'Tll
do the best I can"
We wish also to record our ap-
probation of her wonderful-and we
believe unparalleled-work in our re-
cent course of reading. With mind
that was ageless she read and en-
loved the book 'Tn Royal Service"
With an energy, also ageless, and a
desire to do her part, she took up
the task of answering, as a given
test, thirty questions out Of sixty.
BY taking one or two each day she
answered in clear, legible hand Of
the old school, thirty-two questions,
two more than were required. For
this she received certificate with
a monogram seal attached.
We should like to know if there
is parallel case on record.
To her dear children and grand
children we extend our sincerest
sympathy. She has left them rich
casket of precious Jewels, not least
among them are faith, hope and char
ity. They are theirs by inheritance.
MAY they wear them for her sake
and for Him whom she loved.
Resolved: That we ask our secre-
tary to place these expressions upon
our records as permanent testi-
mony Of our love.

Mrs. L. E. Griggs,

Choice OF the Bar

D RECOMMENDATIONS as to the Police
N Court succession. made unanimously by
the Richmond Bar Association, Of necessity
will carry great weight with the City Coun-
Gil when the latter meets in joint session
Monday night TO fill the vacancy caused by
the death OF John Jeter Crutchheld. No
fault can be found with the associations
selection. In John l.. Ingram, it named
young and brilliant lawyer, carefully trained
Ia his profession. bearer OF a name long hon
cred in Richmond and throughout Virginia
man admirably fitted TO give the prestige
and dignity which should attach TO Rich
mond's cour, OF first instance.
The Bar Association was actuated by lust
one motive. the desire TO see placed on the
police bench 4 trained attorney capable of
bringing about and sustaining those reforms
and instituting those modern methods which
al! agree are necessary now that the one
justice who could make the old methods
successful is no longer here. That was the
associations helpful desire, Yet there is
grave reason To fear that il has injured its
cause through lack of wise strategy. Few.
ii any, believe that the association sought
10 usurp the prerogative of the Council
within whose province the appointment
lies. nor is it attempting 10 dictate the sue
ceSsion, yet the fact remains that its infu-
ence would have been more potent had il
been content to present list of names OF
men whom il believed to be desirable and
available, instead Of narrowing its choice
down to one man it would be unfOrtun-
ate, indeed. if any mcnibers of Council
should take the view that the association
Z had overstepped its province, something, we
are sure il did not intend
