Notes:
TRIBUTE TO MRS. BELL BROOKS.
It is with sorrow and grief that we, the officers and members of the
Blooming Grove Rebekah Lodge No. 4 offer our deepest sympathy to those who
mourn the loss of our dear departed sister, Mrs. Bell Brooks, who answered
the call of our Heavenly Father, August 14, 1929. Thus our sister has
reached the end of life's journey. We pay our tribute of affection, and
mingle our sympathetic tears with her loved ones.
Weep not loved ones that her tolls are over.
Weep not that her race is run.
God grant that we may rest as calmly.
When our work, like her's is done.
Silent as the dawn,
Mysterious as the night,
Yet certain as the truth,
The destroyer comes.
In the midst of life, we are in
death; for He who watches all our
destinies has the spirit of those departed
under his watchful care,
and on the 1st great day will again
unite the chains of fraternal love
so recently broken. She has passed
beyond the mist that hides us
here, into the new and larger life
of that serene sphere. She climbed
the step ascent of Heaven through
peril, toil and pain. Oh, God! to
us may grace be given to follow
in her trail. For as we wait in
life's sunset and dream sweet
dreams of this dear one gone before,
sad,. but thankful and happy,
for we know that we shall meet
her in Heaven's bright noon.
MRS. EDNESS McCLURE, Chairman of Committee.
