In Memoriam
MRS. JOHN T. 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

“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.
