ing in our recollection were
beautiful and appropriate verses
quoted below composed by our mu
tual friend Etta Wallace Miller, of
Atlanta, and dedicated to “L’Ella
Ruby” “On the Sixteenth Anni
versary of Her Birthday.”
The verses read as follows:
Easter morning, pure and sunny—
the resurrection morn:
Faith’s fair dewdrops on Life’s
lilies,—Hope’s tender blooms
new-born;
Freshness in the heart of spring
time; the thrill and thrill of
song
Ringing softly, gladly, clearly, in
the music sweet and strong!
Waken, L’Ella—Life would greet
you with cloudless skies of
blue,
Spring would waft her dewy kisses
to lips and eyes of you.
Sixteen — Easter’s fairest lily —
bright in the light of trust;
By white petals, fading earthward,
safe-shielded from the dust.
One rare petal, dear, is Duty—un
sullied, strong and true;
One is Faith, its spirit beauty in
all you say and do;
One is Innocence; another, Unsel
fishness—and Paryer,
Fadeless, lustrious in purity, gleams
like a jewel there!
they give us in fighting fires, we
would be able to show an even
greater decrease in fire loss and
everyone would benefit,” Ranger
Guinn concluded.
