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.
