Harris, were adopted by the Shiloh Baptist Sabbath School March 25, 1894. Whereas, the Devinie Father in His providence, has taken from our band our much esteemed friend and co-laborer, Miss Mollie D. Harris; and Whereas, in the death of this ardent friend and zealous christian, society has lost a brilliant star, the church and Sabbath School an efficient and consistent member, and the family a kind and affectionate daughter and sister; therefore, be it Resolved, That in this decree of the Father our Sabbath School has sustained an irreparable loss, yet we bow with meek, submissive hearts, knowing that the passage of this loved one across the silent river was attended by hosts of shining angels and that a crown of glory awaited her in the Paradise of Love; be it Resolved, That we, the members of the Shiloh Baptist Sabbath School tender our heart-felt sympathies to he sorrow stricken family and commend them to God as the only true source of consolation and comfort under the many trials, afflictions and bereavements of life; be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to THE GAZETTE and Baptist Chronicle for publication, and that a copy of same be furnished the family.
