So .large a part had she in all our
school activities, and so much had we
looked "up to her as our leader and
counselor, that it seems difficult for
us to go on with our work, without
her, but we recognize the wisdom of
our Heavenly Father, and we ask him
for strength to go on with our wotk
ngain, and to help us to so live that
we may be prepared to meet her
when our summons comes.
We are thankful for the beautiful
lessons of her life, which was filled
with deeds of kindness. We extertl
to the bereaved husband and son our
tenderest sympnthy, and commend
them to the .God of comfort who hns
said'“my grace is sufficient for thee.”
We earnestly desire an enlarged
picture of Mrs. Hopper, to grace tne
walls of our school rooms, that future
generations may see tho faro of our
loving benefactress.
