Tribute of Respect.
We chronicle, with sad hearts,
the death of our beloved class
mate, Lucile Tolleson Turner, who
died Nov. 1, 1918.
Whereas, it having pleased Al
mighty God in His wisdom to take
her from our midst.
Be it resolved :
First, That bv her going away
each of our lives shall be more
consecrated to God’s will, for we
know not the day or hour the
Sun of Man cometh.
Second, That we shall ever miss
her. She was gentle, kind and
true, loyal to her class and the
cause of Christ, always in her
place when not providentially
hindered, rendering nobly a lov
ing service for Christ.
Third, That we extend to the
bereaved Husband and friends our
deepest sympathy in this sad ioss.
Fourth, That a copy of this ex
pression of our love be furnished
the husband, be entered and pre
served in the Fidelis Class record.
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled)
A idaoe is vacant in our class
Which never can he filled.
G<*d in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given,
And though the body slumbers here
Her soil! is safe in heaven.
