Resolutions of Sympathy

We, your committee regret to re-
port that God has deemed it best to
remove from our midst one of our
beloved citizens,
And, Be it Resolved: That we ex-
tend to sister Arnott and family
our sympathy, and may God bind up
the broken hearts and help them to
say, 'Thy will, not mine be DONE"
'sUntil the loom is silent, and the
shuttles cease to fly,
Shall God unroll the pattern and ex-
plain the reason why.
The dark threads are as useful in the
weaver's skillful hand,
AS the threads of gold and silver for
. the pattern that he planned.
From the ranks our friends are
dropping,
Yet to memory they hold dear,
Still in spirit we behold them,
Andrin dreams they hover near,
And we shall meet them in the morn
ing
When on earth our work is done,
On the river, Blessed River,
We shall meet them one by one"

NEUROLOGY

We stand on Memory's Golden Shore,
And muse and dream this night,
Recalling forms that never more
Shall bless on earth our weary sight.
Therefore: Be it resolved that we
mingle our tears with our Brother
and Sister Roberts, because of the
death of their beloved Father.
"He has finished his fight, his work
is DONE"
He has passed to a Realm where
sorrows, and trials, and tribulations
will not be known.
'How slender is life's silver cord,
How soon is it broken away.
Alas! tits not for US to say,
Whom God shall love, whom he shall
take away.
