Rainwater read the following trib
ute:
‘ Our hearts are saddened over the
absence of our beloved Treasurer,
Miss Jule Allen. Her untimely pass
ing has brought to us a realization
of our loss and deep sense of sorrow,
“Miss Jule worked faithfully in
' the ranks of this organization,
j served her Chapter in a most effic
; ient manner.
“But it is not only as a daughter
1 of the Confederacy that we bemourn
! | h»r passing — to many of us it
means the loss of a loyal friend, a
i friend in the highest and noblest
meaning of that word—friendship.
“We are gt teful of the example
i of fine living she has left us. and
j for the privilege of walking a little
way with her.
“Her standard was fairness and
honesty; she knew no other. She
j lived unfailingly in the ‘House by
the Side of the road’ and was a
j friend to all.
“She was prepared for life or
; death and since she crossed the bar
to meet her saviour face to face, we
can but recall His words; ‘He that
's greatest among you is he that
doth serve’. The diadem of service
crowns her royalty.
“We who knew. loved and ad—
I mired her jire sorrowful today be
cause she walks with us no more
but find comfort in the thought
I that after all death is;
| “ ‘Just a broadening of a ripie
On the Eternal shore;
Just a loosening of the bonds that
cripple,
, This and nothing more.
What is death? Just a parting of
the cloud above us
Which hides the sun;
i A golden vision of those who love
us;
Labor done.
“What is death? God's grace
strange, uncomprehended
The undiscovered good.
The land of promise when toil Is
ended
The day dawn of the Soul.' ”
