Resolution.

How often have we as a Mis-
sionary Society been called up
on to record the passing away
of one of our faithful and earn
est members. And now again
the Death Angel has entered
and taken from us our beloved
sister, Mrs. Fannie Ainsworth,
who as a charter member of
this Society watched and work.
ed for its growth, its temporal
and spiritual success.
Quiet and unobtrusive she by
her ready and tireless efforts
and her prayers of faith was
ever an example to US. Her life
was truly filed with good deeds
and self forgetfulness. Dear
departed sister and friend (;
we drop her name from our roll
to enshrine for all time in mem
ory's casket; and while we as
a society and as individual mem
bers extend to her bereaved
children our deepest and ten
derest sympathy in this their
time of sorrow and Of loss we
are assured that for their below
ed mother
"There is no death! An angel form
Came to her and with silent tread
Bore their beloved with him away"
To life immortal, for she is not dead.
That the consolation that a.
boundeth by Christ fill each
mourning heart and the peace of
his presence rest upon them is
the sincere prayer of this So
ciety.
We as a society would have
this expression of sympathy
sent to the sorrowing family
and a copy of this memorial in
eorporated in the minutes OF
our society
