WHEREAS, Our Heavenly Father, in His infinite mercy and wisdom, has seen fit to translate from earth to heaven our beloved sister, Miss Lizzie Hearne;
Resolved, That sister Lizzie Hearne was interested in the advancement of our Redeemer’s kingdom, and always ready to work for the cause;
Resolved, That by the death of our sister the church has lost an earnest and faithful attendant, the Young People at Work a sincere and zealous member and the Sunday school a punctual untiring, and energetic worker;
Resolved, That we tender to the bereaved
father and mother, brothers anci sisters, our heartfelt sympathy, and trust
that they may find consolation and strength in an abiding faith and in
the hope that the daughter and sister is not lost to them forever, but
has only gone before to that heavenly home where her Savior dwells, to
that place where the weary may find eternal rest and where sorrows and
partings can never come.

Miss Lizzie Hearne, of Independence, Mo., whose obituary appears in this number, sent us before her death the following clipping from the Paris Kentuckian, which we are glad to publish:
"We have received the following letter from Elder Martin:
"'I see in the Kentuckian-Citizen
the names of the "fair ones," together with descriptions of their robes,
at the recent Columbian ball at the Windsor in your city. I recognize a
dozen of the young ladies as members of the Christian Church, and I love
them most tenderly, and I believe they love me. I am constrained to send
you the enclosed poem for publication, with the request that each of these
dear sweet girls be sent a marked copy of the paper. They will not resent
it, coming from my heart as a warning. O God, save the girls, our dear
girls, and help the parents to see the folly
