THE CHRISTIAN INDEX

TATE . . . On June 19, 1898, the spirit of Mrs.
Lidia Moore Tate passed from the sorrows of earth to
the celestial abode of the saints.  Mrs. Tate died
in the ninety-second year of her age, in the full
triumph of the Christian faith, her last words
being, "Oh! Lord! Lord!"  Sister Tate, after living
for more than forty years in the Methodist Church,
decided to follow her Savior in Baptism and united
with Tanner's church, and was baptized by Rev. J. M.
DeFoor, in the year 1889, at the age of 82.  Sister
Tate loved her church and exemplified the grace of a
true Christian woman in all the relations of life.
Though lovely in person, she was more lovely in
character, quiet, gentle, amiable, cheerful,
affectionate and kind.  And even in the last days of
her sad afflictions, pain and suffering, she never
uttered a word of complaint, but bore it all as a
true soldier of the cross, saying:  "If it is the
Lord's will, let it be so."

She leaves a son and two daughters, a number of
grandchildren, and a host of friends to mourn their
loss.

And then we think: "Why do we mourn departed
friends, Or shake at death's alarm? 'Tis but the
voice that Jesus sends To call them to his arms."

And, be it resolved, by the Tanners church, That
this tribute be spread upon the church records, and
that it be printed in the CHRISTIAN INDEX, and that
the bereaved family be furnished a copy.
