CALLED TO HIGHER SERVICE.
Sawyers Hay Cnion mourns the loss of its Treasurer, Mrs Mains, who passed away a victim to the prevailing epidemic. Mrs Mains xxas an earnest, faithful worker, and one of the most lovable personalities it has been our lot to meet. Four sons were at the Front, two going with the Main Rody. Txvo of the bovs won the Military Medal, anil one xxas invalided home. The others are on the water, and will return to the home robbed of its best ornament —a loving, devoted mother. Mrs Mains lived near to God, lasting all her burdens upon Him, and keeping bright mil cheerful through all the anxious time while her sons faced death almost da lx in Gallipoli or France. She xx.is u ost regul.u in hei attendant e at our meetings, .ml many of u** will never frrget the inspiration and uplift xxe received as she led us in prayer and tarried us with her to the heights of perfect love and trust in the wisdom and goodness of our Heavenly Father. Peace and Prohibition she earnestly desired. One she lived in see, but the other she will behold, but not with mortal exes. Our sympathy goes xxith her sorrowing family, especially her daughters, our own girls. A tried and faithful servant has “entvnd into the joy of hei Lord.”
