Whereas, our Father in heaven has, in His infinite mercy removed from among us.'our wot thy and dearly loved sister, Elizabeth Gassman; and whereas, the long and intimate relation with her in the faithful discharge of her duties in this Society a3 secretary and president, makes it fitting that we record our appreciation. Wherefore resolved, that the wisdom and ability which she exercised in our midst by service and counsel will be held in grateful remembrance. Resolved, that the removal of such a life. from among our number leaves a vacancy and a shadow that will be deeply realized by all the members of this society, and a serious loss to the community because of the exemplary life she lived. Resolved, that we deeply symvathize with the bereaved family and pray., our heavenly Father to sustain and comfort themin" the hour of trial; we express our hepe that even so great a loss to us all may be overruled for 'good by H im who doeth all things well.
