Blest be the tie that binds, after which came the reading of the crusade psalm 146, followed by rayer by Rev. Mr. Pearson, Miss Maude yine then sang with much feeling, The Sunset of the Year, a favorite hymn of Miss cWillard s Rev. Mr. Hudson then addressed the meet- ing, speaking in the highest terms of Miss Willard and of the word done by her, rank- ing_her with those whose names will be handed down to posterity The hymn, On Heights of Power, by Mrs F. M. Smith, was selected as it is a memorial h mu, writ- ten by Miss Willard for White ibboners. Rev. Mr. Pearson then made an eloquent addres, speaking of the wonderful work Miss Willard has accomplished, and though such a great leader. yet always so kind and loving and sympathetic and so loyal to her friend, Lady Henry Somerset, in whom she had such condence, and which after events have proved was not misplaced. Mrs. Smith then sang Crossing the Bar. The captain of the S.A. in a few words testified to the noble life work of this great leader, and moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Rev. M. L. Pearson, and carried unanimously :-That this meeting. assembled under the auspices of the W0- man's Christian Temperance Union of Bar- rie, desires to place on record its sense of the irreparable loss sustained by the temper- ance cause in general and our own organiza- tion in particular by the death of our be- loved leader, Frances Willard, and not only as our leader but as a sweet and gracious woman who was known only to beloved and whose life is a pattern of christian grace and beauty. We also desire to convey our love and sympathy to our sisters of the National Union in thevUnited States and to the oicers of the World's Union across the seas, and pray that the zeal and courage which ani- mated our sainted leader may fill their hearts and that we all may be loyal and true to the-cause for which her life was spent Moon nnnnnnnn AC AIl.nnJnIn I-kn-1 annirn No. neither absent not late oxide in; school 68 '"i}'Z 8.`I.'}'$nI' "SF '7A`iT..1'fai 1e'I`:?'z? `faoke in very feeling terms of the loss sustained` in the death of Miss Willard ; also Mrs. Tuck- er, who spoke of her personal acquaintance with and love for her.
