| tied at tie county home winning the
love of the inmates by her lovable
manner.
The poem was as follows:
We are longing today for Sue
The flowers their tiny heads bow
low,
The birds are singing soft and
plaintively,
They miss her dear kind face l
! know.
| We are longing today for Sue
Just to see her smile once more,
And hear the girls call Sue again
As they did in the days of yore.
We are longing today for Sue,
AS we gaze on that vacant chair,
Sue is still sitting there.
We are longing today for Sue
The church bells seem to say,
! 70 in
! For this is our worship day.
We are longing today for Sue
But with God her soul is at rest,
She'll be waiting up in heaven
For the ones she loved best.
! The following resolutions Were
read by Mrs. j w. House:
| Today our hearts are bowed in
deepest sorrow over the departure ~of
our beloved friend and co-worker,
Sue Corbett Knott. God has called,
she has answered the summons. She
was always ready, and gladly did
she give herself in service, for the
things that made life happier and
ration, our Society has grown in
usefulness, and spirituality. We are
thankful for the Christian ideals and
principals exemplified in her life, and
we feel that in her life and service
we have left to us a rich legacy,
that we may ever hold before us in
spring US to greater service in the
Masters Kingdom, and in the church
she loved so we'll.
! Therefore, Be it resolved:
1st. That while the Elizabeth Lamb
! Missionary Society feels deeply its
great loss, we bow humbly to the
will of our all-wise heavenly Father.
| End. That we, as individuals and
as a Society try to emulate in our
lives and in our service, the exam
pie given us, in the life of our friend
and co-worker, as she was a very
positive factor for good in all or
ganized forms of church work. Her
| influence for the advancement OF
Gods kingdom was known and felt
| in the entire community.
| 3rd. That a copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to the Missionary News,
the Daily Times, and copy of the
same be recorded in the minutes OF
the Elizabeth Lamb Missionary So
ciety.
