At a meeting of the Ladies Missionary Society of the Presbyterian church last Monday afternoon the following resolutions were adopted:–
The Ladies Home and Foreign Missionary Society is called upon again to mourn the loss of a beloved and useful member, in the passing away of Mrs. Daniel Gillis.
Mrs. Gillis was preeminently a woman of the Home, where, as wife and mother, she was a model for immitation, and she was a most faithful member of the church: in her place at all meetings, when possible and fully in sympathy with the services at God’s house. And this is true of her, as a member of our society, in the work of which she always manifested the liveliest interest.
She will be greatly missed by us. Her loss enlarges the void made in our ranks by the loss of the other two noble women, so recently called to go up higher.
We will not forget her attractive and strong personality, her gracious and cheerful Christian bearing, and her consistent piety. We call on ourselves to follow her “conversation,” remembering that our Lord can be the same to us that He was to her.
We enter upon our record, also the deep sympathy which we feel for the bereaved household, and ask of God that her prayers in their behalf may continue to be answered.
It is ordered that this action be communicated to the afflicted husband and children.
Mrs. Wm. W. Flournoy
Caroline S. Walden
Committee.
