STRIPLING. “And I heard a voice from heaven saying^unto me, { ‘Write, Blessed are the dead which die in Lord from henceforth; Ya, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them.” The subject of this sketch dwelt with us for a number of years; we.knew and loved him well. We saw and felt the part ing must come; we knew he would say good-bye sometime. He has gone home and great was the joy in heaven. He was preparing, for his jour ney many days, and was careful, very careful in setting his house in order; he was ever busy be- queathiug his legacies of instruc tion and fatherly blessing; always persuasive, urgent and earnest, he set forth the old but ever new story of redemption. He was a faithful steward who threw wide the door of mercy and pointed alternately to Calvary and Sinai. , Year after year with steadfast purpose, unswerving fidelity and joyous anticipation,he made prep aration for the home going, and on Friday January 10th, he said, good-bye—and just as the sun went down and the evening stars came out he heard one clear call and he put out to sea. The flood has borne him outward and up ward, for he met his “Pilot face to face when he crossed the bar.” Gentle, quiet, unassuming, he walked daily the pathway of life, ever mounting higher and" higher until he stood upon the high plain of Christian experince,from which height God called him home. His journey through this abid ing place was marked with sorrow as well as joy. His warm loving nature responded generously to the call of suffering humanity, and like his Lord, he went about doing good. “The world was his parish and every man his brother.” His obedience to the demands of conscience and the teachings of the holy book were the great prin ciples of his life. Faith was the key note that lifted his soul up into the rapturous melody of re demption’s glad song. The purity of his life was known and felt by his daily walk and conversation; he never lost an op portunity to comfort, to say some thing for his blessed Christ. How he longed for others |to know the joy of salvation, the upbuild ing of Zion and the peace that passeth understanding. Many will miss the Christain friend who went from home to home on his mission of love, and only eternity will reveal the good he has done. He planted pre cious seed along his journey and labored faithfully in the Master’s vineyard, but now he is at rest and his works do follow him. He has gone to the beautiful home of the soul, the home he loved to read, sing and talk about. The home close by the Jasper sea, whose light is the shekinah of God, whose music is the song of the .redeemed and whose air is sweetened with the perfume of heavenly incense. There with the loved and saved he “dwells in the house not made with hands eter nal in the heavens.” It was only a good night that he said—just a little while and he will bid us good morning on the heavenly Borand. S. F. T, On Friday night, Jan. 81st, an oyster supper for the benefit of a library will be given at the,- Ben Hill school building. Other re freshments will be served, and everybody is cordially invited to attend. We trust the- smiling face of the Editor and other Houston people will greet jus. The object of this entertain ment is to push the establishment of a library in our school. The two great worlds that should be opened to the child rHiich ho should learn to. love and live in with inareasing joy, are the world nature and the world of books. In Houston not one child in a hun dred has access even to a small li brary. The child learns to read, but that is about all for the world of history, biography, travel, of story and song, remain as yet a barren country. The children must needs grow up into lives of narrowness and selfishness with out noble desires when their eyes are blinded and hands are folded by disuse to the beauties of na ture and to the riches she has in stole for those who love her. No teacher or community can afford to deprive the children of books. It robs them of their just rights. LetJeveryjteuohei'Jbe up and doing, assisting one another ;$ and they can make the school not only the center of the social and intellec tual life, of the community, but can inspire nobler and grander ideals of the mind and heart. » Our school is progressing nicely and we don’t intend to let it die. It received its name from one of the noblest men that Georgia ever afforded, and we hope to send forth just such men. Aid us by lending yoor presence at the oys ter supper and by bringing others with you. j. D. Renfroe.
