LITTLE I laid it down in silence, This work of mine. And took what had been sent me— A resting time. The Master's voice had called me To rest apart; Apart with Jesus only Echoed through my heart. I took the rest and stillness From his own hand. And felt this present illness Was what He had planned. How often we choose labor. When He says ’■rest - ’— Our ways are blind and crooked— His way is best. There is a blessed resting In lying still. In letting his hand mould me Just as He will. His work must be completed, His lesson set; He is the higher workman, .Da.not forget. The faith of Jvee-fathers was her | faith, and she was true to that faith . ’til death. 1 Slim and Smart Fine Spring Suits S39-95 ta $59-95 Charm of Miami whips up a double-breasted, mother o’ pearl buttoned suit for Ander sen's with styles that you'll really love.

AndeMo+ti “You Can’t Beat Value” So glad am I, not that my friend has gone.* But that the earth she loved and walked upon Was my earth too. That I had closely known and loved | her, And that love I had shown. Tears o'er her departure? Nay, a smile, , That I had walked with her a little while. These words of the poet are but faini expressions of our leelmgs in the passing of one of our official fam ily and beloved co-worker, Lyde Mi lam Little. Although she was not a charter member of Stephen D. Lee chapter, ; she loved and worked for the chap- I j ter whether as an official or as a ' member of a committee. Lyde’s zeal j ; was always the same, filling almost every oflice in our chapter and serv-! ing different committees, i. God blessed her with a life of use- I lulness—many ears which were spent : as a teacher of young children, her I influence will continue. She served I faithfully in her church and com- | munny. In appreciation of her loyalty and our association with her the highest tribute we can pay to her memory is to say that her final words could have been: “I have fought a good fight. I have kept the faith, I have finished my course, and am ready to go to my re ward.’' We miss you though; yes, we do. The meetings are broken without you. We miss the things you would do and say As ypu journeyed with us along the way. Respectfully submitted, LYDE H. DILLARD, Stephen D. Lee Chapter, U. D. C„ Clinton, S. C.
