RESOLUTIONS Whereas, God, in His wisdom hag seen fit to remove from our midst our beloved president, therefore, be it, Resolved, that we greatly deplore our loss and fear that the usefulness I of tl.c Society may be impaired by the | removal of one to whom it has always; been of absorbing interest and who has, labored so diligently for its suc cess Be it also, Resolved, that we extend to the stricken family our sincere sympathy and we pray that God may support them in this their hour of -deep sor row Be it further, .

Bertha Tanner was fortunate in bung among the fields and hills crowned with forests. If one u en dowed witl sterling qualities of character f.-om strong ancestors, the open spacs help to develop it, and is ..u handicapped like the life spent amid brick walls and crowded streets. Bertha Tanner was blessed from childhood with the open spaces, and developed into a strong, noble character that her friends ad mired. She was, among other things, a i home builder. The home was dear to 1 her, and she presided over it with the tenderness of the dove, and the sirci gth of the eagle. She could protect those whom she loved with a devotion that was as rare as it was > \trong. If storms must come, ^he j would rather stand in the forefront and have them strike her first. \ Her home was ordered well. Her I hospitality was warm and not limit-! ed to the few, as so many people can testify. But all her interests and work were not centered in the home. She was always keenly alive to everything that concerned the community, state and the nation. When many women were luke warm on the question of woman suf frage, sre flung her binner to the breeze, and despite all criticism, .•iked valiantly without cessa ion until the cause wm won. When few thought that a prohibi tion amendment could ever be attach ed to the constitution of the nation, this dear woman saw in dream and vision that the time would come when prohibition would be enacted into the 18th amendment, and thus steadily followed her dream, working by day \id praying by night until the dream came true. During the World war, she was a tireless and determined worker for the Red Cross. In bettering the life of the com munity she was actively alive. \ L ~ played her part strongly in all the societies that help to make the life of the little country village better. She was modest under praise, but firm as a rock under criticism She was a member of the Baptist church of Holland. Whether the church added to the strength of her character I do not know. - u ~ added immeasureably to the soul of the church, we can all testify. When such a soul crosses the bar, it docs not die. It lives in the hearts and memories of the people- for long years to come. It's influence in the community never fades out. It's light is never extinguished. For such a soul, drifting out with the tides, there is no fear, for right- thinking , right-doing, patience and perseverance in a just cau»e, are any harbor, here or W. C. W, LIVED TOGETHER 57 YEARS In last week's paper, under the photographs .of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Jones it was stated they had lived to gether for 53 years.
