A MEMORIAL.

Prepared by the committee of the M. E. Sunday School, appointed in accor­dance with a vote of the school at a regular session on Sabbath morning, Feb. 18, 1900.

We, your committee, believe we voice the true sentiment of the school when we say that in the death of sister Mollie E. Noble, the school has lost one of its most useful members. Whe­ther as a scholar, where she was atten­tive and ready to answer questions, explain difficult passages or illustrate important truths in a pleasant and at­tractive way; or as a teacher of a class of either young or old persons, her ability to interest and instruct; or as a connsellor [sic] in the S. S. Board where her quick discernment and good judgement properly and kindly expres­sed, caused her opinion to be respected, in all these situations she had the def­serence of her associates.

Her filial affection has not only been observed by many, but has been much praised. Her lovely Christian character and self-sacrificing devotion is worthy the emulation of all who knew her. Her friendship so true, her ways so amiable, her kindness so unselfish greatly en­deared her to her intimate friends. We hope we will not be accused of using flattery of undue adulation when we use the language of the sacred book and say, “Many daughters have done vir­tuously, but thou excellest them all.”

We desire to express our sincere and deeply felt sympathy for her sorely bereaved father, and humbly pray that he may be enabled to realize that the “everlasting arms ” are underneath him to strengthen him in his time of need. We would also kindly remember her brothers and Alma, her special charge and comfort, and all others who sin­cerely mourn her departure for her hea­venly home.

Respecfully submitted by your com­mittee.

Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson
