On April 25th, 1917, just as the sun was slowly setting in the western sky, the message came to our friend and colaborer in the Master's vinyard Miss Cornelia Price Canty Burgess, that her work on earth was finished and that the mansion prepared for her in the world beyond was ready. She lingered a few hours longer with loved ones here, then at 3 o'clock on the morning of the 26th, quietly and peacefully slipped away to enter into the higher service andi receive the re ward promised to the faithful. Mrs. Burgess was of a singularly modest and retiring dlisposition, but while shrinking from any publicity, she was ever loyal and true to her church, faithfully living up to the 'vows she took to support its institutions and attend on its ordinance. Never when she was physically able to be there, was her place empty when the church was open, andI she often said that she did not see how she couldl live without the joy and comfort which the Sunday school, church service, prayer meeting, and missionary society brought her. As a Missionary Society Be It Resolved that we miss her gentle 1,. ssence, but how resigned to the will of taiim who makes no mistakes, rea lizing that in calling her to Himself He has spared her many sorrows in the dark sad days through which we are passing. Resilved II, That we deeply sympa thize with her children and grandchil dren and large circle of relatives and friends who "long for the touch of a vanished hand and the sound of a voice that is still." Resolved III, That a page in our minutes be enscribed to her memory and that copies of these resolutions be sent to her family and to the Her ald and Manning Times for publica tion.
