A Tribute To Mrs. Dan. T. Baker, Sr.

Inexpressively sad and touching were the last days of our loved one, Mrs. Dan 
T. Baker, Sr., who, abandoning the hope of recovery, resigned herself into the 
keeping of her Saviour whom she loved so well, and passed into the great 
beyond. A great and heroic soul was released from the intense, constant and 
prolonged agonies of an incurable malady, and when she knew that only constant 
suffering remained between she and the end of earth, she could say, with as 
much assurance as any apostle or martyr “I know that my Redeemer liveth,” and 
this faith carried her triumphantly through the inevitable ordeal.

As goes down the stately ship in a quiet sea, after the storm is over, but 
scarred on the surface and broken by the fury of the flood, wrecked in mid-
ocean she sinks beneath the waves. Although her frame is gone down, her strong 
and faithful heart outlasted the tempest, and she carried into eternity the 
well preserved freight of love and happiness and the flying white sail of a 
great and noble name.

We feel that we have been bereft of one of our strongest Epworth League 
members, one who was always faithful, loving generous and God-fearing; one who 
had pointed out the Christ in the example of her own life more than the words 
that fell from her lips. A life brilliantly burning with a living faith in God 
and a love for humanity endeared her to us so strongly. A tie just a little 
stronger now binds us to heaven, and we can say in all humility that we thank 
God for leading this beautiful life and character to us even though for a brief 
space of time.

Miss Lillian Boatner, Chm’n.
Miss Daisy White,
Miss Helen Griffin,
Committee
