A TRIBUTE In the death of Miss Sallie McGehee
Whereas, it has pleased a merciful and righteous God the Great Superintendant
of Sabbath School, to pass thorugh our ranks and in his inscrutable wisdom has
moved from the church and sabbath school our loved sister and class mate, Miss
Sallie McGehee, who was called from earth on the 23rd day of October 1879,
that she might answer to her name in the roll call among the glorified in
heaven. Though taken away so early while yet the work among us seemed but just
begun, we believe with all hope that our dear friend has already put on the
whole armor and by divine grace was enabled to quench the fiery darts of the
wicked one and finally to enter through the gates into the city not made with
hands. She had been a worthy and consistent member of the church and an active
and faithful member of the sabbath school; be it therefore;
Resolved, that warned by her affectionate admonition to us to "meet her in
heaven" we will devote our time and our energies more faithfully to the work
of the Sabbath school, praying the Lord of the Harvest to raise up others
fitted by the Holy Spirit to wear the mantle of our dear friend who has
received the plaudit...
Resolved; that we offer to her parents and sisters our sincere condolence in
this bereavement and while we with them drop the tear of sympathy in memory of
one so dear, yet with them we rejoice in the hope that when we shall have
finished our Sabbath school meetings here, when one by one we cross the river
and have entered into the Golden City, we shall meet our classmates together
with the vast Sunday school gone before and shall join them in the son of the
redeemed.
Resolved; that a copy of these proceedings be spread on the Sunday school
record and copies be furnished the Jacksonville Republican, the Christian
Advocate and the Christian Observer, with a request to publish same.
Miss Anna Hubbard
Miss Katie Weaver
Miss Sallie Wadsworth
Miss Mary Cone
