Resolutions of CespecL
In memory of Mrs. G. W. Bar
nett, who died April 25th, 1915.
"So let her sleep that dreamless sleep,
Our sorrows clustering round her
head,
Be comforted, l e loved who weep
She lives with God,
She is not dead."
Death having summoned a sis
ter, and the golden gateway to
the Eternal City has opened to
welcome her home. She has
completed her work in the mia
istering to the wants of the af
flicted, in shedding light unto
darkened souls in bringing joy
into the places of misery, and as
her reward has received the Bles
sed Master.
And whereas, I he all wise
and merciful Father has called
our beloved and respected sister
home and while we most sincere
ly and deeply deplore our loss we
feel that we must bow in humble
submission to the will of one who
has done all things well. And
whereas, She having been a true
and faithful member of our so
ciety, we will recognize the di
vine wisdom of the almighty feel
ing that we have sustained
great loss, therefore be it,
Resolved, That the Ladies Aid
Society of Zion M. E. Church of
New Grenada in testimony of her
loss, tenders to the family of the
deceased sister our sincere con
dolence in this deep affliction and
that a copy of these resolutions
be entered upon the records of
the society and a copy be sent to
the family of the deceased sister.
