IRIBLiTE TO MRS. B. 0. QUELIAN.
The following extract, copied
from the Wesleyan Christian Ad
vocate, will be of interest to the
many friends of Dr. and Mrs.
Qui Ilian who sympathized with
them in the recent death of the
wife of their son,Mr B. O. Quillian,
of Macon, Ga:
Our hearts were hushed with
silence on June 17, 1909, as we
heard of the going away of our
sister, Mrs. B. O. Quillian. Three
times during the past week she had
met with us. Only two days before
she had seemed so eager, so happy
and so zealous ip the Missionary
work. How could we know that
over her the Heavenly guards were
already gathering and that because
our eyes were holden we could not
see the Angel whose vision is so
bright that behind him our earthly
light grows dark, and we call him
Death?
She gave her life to her Lord
while her youth was fair and hope
was high,and in this she is an exam
ple to our young women. We resolve
in our hearts to be more faithful to
God’s work,f<r where she has gone,
we,too, would go, when death shall
lift the veil.
Resolved: That we appreciate
her noble worth and in remembr
ance of her lovely character, inscribe
this tribute on the memoirs of our
minute book.
Mrs. Sam Bayne,
Mrs. Frank Hardeman,
Mrs. Tom Stewart.
