IN MEMORIAM

Mrs. J. Sanders, N.E. Valley Union

The recent passing to Higher Service of Mrs, Sanders has robbed the Women’s Christian Temperance Union of the Dominion and the North East Valley Union in particular of the services of a keen worker in the cause of Temperance. Ever since the early days of its inception, Mrs. Sanders had been an inspiration to the Union. Her high Christian character enabled her to deal sympathetically with all those who sought her advice, and made her a friend of everybody. For many years she has attended to the financial side of our Union and aLo been Letterwriter to the sick and the b< reaved. She has also held tlx* offices of District Treasurer and VicePresident. At the recent District Convention she vas made a Life VicePresident, hut she held that office for a verv short lime when Go<l called her

Home. We shall miss her in every way. Sljv was a great lover of flowers and at even meeting, whatever the season might he. the President’s table was •adorned with a lovely vase of flowen placed there by Mrs. Sanders. Onh failing health prevented her attendance at meetings, hut up to the very last she was planning for the future and refused to he discouraged by the seeming lack of interest in Temperance affairs. She lived in close touch with her Heavenlv Father,

“Her life was a prayer, and it prayed With such passionate power that it stayed * In the heart of the Hearer of prayer. W’ho cherished and answered it there In the fullness of love.”
