lountry. Hut, ahis! we can detain
tothlug. however valued, from un re
puting Death. This great enemy slays
feauty. fortune, and exulted honor,
>id we say that ' we could detain
nothing?" That Is not altogether
rue: the beautiful Christian ehunietor
[?aves a vital, living, breathing iu

as made upon the shore behind.
Therefore, be it Resolved

II things well.
Second, That ?we cherish her mem

Third, That we extend our heart-felt

Fourth, That we Inscribe a page in

EMILY XESBIT SHANNON.
It has pleased our Heavenly Father
in his infinite wisdom to take from us
our beloved fellow member and frierod
Emily -Nesbit Shannon.
She was among the first presidents
of the John I). Kennedy Chapter of
the II. I). C. All of us know how
close her heart was to this great work.
Only ill health prevented her from
taking an. active ptort in all the civic,
patriotic and charitable organizations
of which she was a member. As it
was, her deeds of 'tender kindness and
gentle mercy were many, scarcely her
left hand knew what her right hand
did to relieve sickness, need and' dis
tress. \
For many years an invalid she lived
a life of unselfish ]witienee and tin
complaint and to fehose who had' the
privilege of knowing her in her home
life she will ever 1k> an ensample of
Godly living. Truly it is good to
know that such a* these. have lived
and died. '
He it resolved that we the members
of the John D. Kennedy Chapter of
tho. V. IK taaccilte a pa fin in
our minute hook in loving memory
and that these resolutions shall be
printed In our town paper and a copy
sent to her family with our deepest
sympathy.
Oat of the *hado\vs of sadness,
Into the sunshine of gladness,
Into the lijfht of the best
Chit of a land very dreary
Out of the world very weary
Into the rapture of rest.

Seeds.
What shall we be liko when
We cast this earthly body and attain
To immortality ?
What shall we be 1lko tlion?
All, who shall nay
What vast expansions shall in- ours
that day?
What transformations of this house
, fjojf clay,
To lit the heavenly mansions and tbo
light of day?
Ah, who shall sa3*?>
?a. . . .r , ? ? ? i _i i ^ i
I Jut this we know ?
Wo drop a seed into the ground, ?
A tiny, shapeless thing, shrivelled
and dry, ;
And, in the fulness of its time, is
seen
A form of peerless beauty, robed and
erowned ' ,
Beyond the pride of any earthly
queen ;
Instinct with loveliness, and ?#weet
and rare,
The perfect emblem of its Maker's
care.
Tills from a shrivelled seed?
Then may man hope indeed !
For man is but the seed of what he
shall be,
When, In the fulness of his perfect
ing,
He drops the husk and cleaves his
' upward way
Through earth's retarding* and the
clinging clay ~ ^
Into the sunshine' of God's ]>erfect
day.
So fetters then! No bonds of time or
of spale!
But powers as ample as the bound
ing grace
That suffered man, and death, and
yet, In tenderness, ,
Set wide the door, and passed Him
self before ?
As He had promised ? to prepare a
place. t
Yea, we ipay hope! ' <
For we are seeds;
Dropped Into earth for heavenly
blossoming. >. ' _
