_____________
The church in annual meeting assembled, wishing to express their sympathy to their brother and fellow-worker Dr. E. C. Scott and his family, appointed a committee to draw up resolutions expressing the same.
On behalf of ourselves and our brethren, we the committee desire to express our appreciation of the life and work of our sister Josie C. Scott. As a charter member and counselor in the early days of our work her services are worthy of perpetual memory.
Her interest in all public movements for the welfare of society was marked and not only appreciated by the church but by the better elements in the community. In these public activities, her piety and scholarly attainments shine with equal brightness.
In the home she was a devoted mother and faithful wife, she lived for her husband and her children, her only regret in leaving was the great need in home and church work for her devoted service, but when the summons came she rejoiced in the fact that her children were in very large measure able to take up both in home and in church, the work so dear to her heart.
Her spiritual longings were extraordinary and her desirefor the fullness promised by the master was intense.
We pray that a large measure of her spirit may rest upon us in our Christian work. We congratulate you and yours on her triumphant entry into life eternal, and pledge you as brothers and sisters in Christ, to walk faithfully by your side until she meets and greets us in glory land.
