The Alexander H. Stevens Chapter, U. D. C., of Birmingham, Ala., through a committee composed of Mrs. E. M. Franks, Mrs. W. C. Grant, Mrs. J. W. Bealsey, expresses in appropriate resolutions its tribute to Mrs. S. R. Hawley, who had been an officer and active member of the Chapter since its organization. These resolutions bear testimony to her beautiful Christian character and express the deep sense of loss and bereavement that is only felt by the members of the Chapter, to whom the inspiration of her cheerful spirit, sweet fellowship, and self-sacrificing service were ever realized. The memory of her faithfulness and true devotion will live to inspire others to emulate her example. The deepest sympathy is extended to the members of her family, for whom it is asked that blessings may have been veiled in this bereavement.
It may be in the better land- We'll read the meaning of our tears, And there sometime we'll understand; We'll cath the broken thread again And finish what we here began; Heaven will the mysteries explain, And then, ah then, we'll understand."
