In Memoriam

It is with mingled feelings of thanksgiving and deep sorrow u c reeord the Home ( all of our stalwart worker, \lrs. Nellie Per) man, our thanksgiving that her pain and iveariness are over and that she now stands in the presenee of the Master whom she so desired to serve through a long life , and our deep sorrow that we must go foru ard to the victory which lies before us without her physical presenee and cncouragcmcnl. For thirty years Mrs. Pen man held the important j)osition of Editor of our “White Ribbonand through her work there became almost a household friend in many of the homes of our members; her Union membership was of long standing and for a short period she was Dominion Recording Secretary , leaving that position to take charge of the “White Ribbon ” She was awarded the Long Service Radge , which she wore with pride. She was one of the most faithful in her care to always wear the white ribbon bow , saying that when she fastened that on her lapel she felt that "no higher ornament was necessary .” Mrs. Peryman had a special gift for obtaining facts and figures which were of immense value to our work and. since her retirement a few years ago , we have greatly missed her help m this , as in many other , directions. The securing and management of Headquai ters was a part of our work that was of unfailing interest to her and her attendance at the monthly Committee meeting was most regular until weakness of body compelled her to remain at home. Mrs. Peryman iras invariably ready to supply information regarding our work to any Union member and new officers found her ready willingness and sound advice both encouraging and friendly. Those who worked closely with her feel the loss o* a personal friend , while to ail Union members there is the knowledge that a person of great good-will has gone beyond our sight for a time. To her family we extend our sympathyr and pray that God will bless them in their life and u'ork.
