JOSEPH D. TULLOSS.
At a meeting of the session of Grove
Presbyterian Church, Fauquier County,
Va., held Feb. 19, 1910, the following
was unanimously passed:
As it has pleased our Heavenly Father
to call our Brother from our midst, we
humbly bow to His wisdom, and with
His help say, "Thy will be done."
Bro. Tulloss, a member and an elder
of aforesaid church, was born at "White
Ridge" March 8, 1824, Fauquier Co., Va.,
and spent all his life in this community
within a radius of four miles of his birthplace.
As an officer of the Church he
ever held up her standards and followed
in the footsteps of his Master. He was
always re\dy to shoulder whatever the
Church calle\ him to do.
During the\ struggle between the
States he was V faithful Confederate soldier,

he then "wept and went home."

gy and prayer he spent the days as they
came, until at last on a quiet August day
while still communing with nature his
spirit took its flight to his eternal home,
August 23, 1909, and thus closed his
work on this earth, in his SGth year, to
the sorrow of his many friends and the
Session of his church. He is missed
from our midst. His place can not be
filled. Likewise at home his place is
vacant. But thanks be to God, "He
walked with God."
The Session therefore extends its tender
sympathy to his beloved wife and
fatherless children. May the father's
God comfort them all.
By order of Session.

MRS. CLARA B. WALKUP.
Died, at Gloster, Miss.. Feb. 21, 1910,
Mrs. Clara B. Walkup, (nee Robinson),
beloved wife of Rev. R. L. Walkup, pastor
of Hoyte Memorial Church. Within

wi a amgie year ior ner
came both the "Bridal" and the "Burial."
A few hours of intense suffering, and
the "pearly Gates" stood ajar, and the
bright young wife, daughter, sitter,
friend, passed through the portals into
His presence, where she beholds
"the King in His beauty"?to rest
in His smiles. A brief life, yet long
enough to entwine herself about the affections
of all who knew her. Consecrating
herself to God in early life, she was
an efficient helper in every good work,
whether the home, the Sunday-school,
the church, or the poor and needy. The
prayers of the whole community go up
for the Comforter's presence and power
in the hearts of husband, parents and
relatives. John, in the Revelations, tells
us of the redeemed that "they sung a
new song before the throne?and no man
could learn that song but?the redeemed
from the earth." Here our songs are
born of Hope, but "over there" thov
the outbursts of "Fruition." Here we
sing?
"Jesus, Lover of ray soul;
Let me to Thy bosom fly, etc."
May we not anticipate the new notes
as they swell in the courts of the King?
Jesus, Beloved of my soul
In Thy bosom now am I,
Here no billows e'er can roll,
For no tempest can come nigh.
/
Here, Dear Saviour, at Thy Side?
All the storms of life now past,
Safe, Dear Saviour, with My Guide,
Here?in peace, My soul, at last.

REV. W. H. MORROW.
On Tuesday afternoon, at four o'clock,
the Rev. William Home Morrow departed
this life, and entered into the rest
that remains for the people of God.
The deceased was born in Prairie Co.,
Ark., July 18, 1875. He was therefore in
the 36th year of his age. His parents
weie devoted Christians, and in early life
lie joined the Presbyterian Church. His
literary education was completed at Arkansas
College. In a brief autobiographical
sketch, which he left, is found this
solemn, important statement: "In April,
1897, after much thought and prayer, I
decided to study for the ministry." His
college education having been completed,
he entered Union Theological Seminary,
(Va.) from which he was graduated in
1900, with the degree of Bachelor of Divinity.
He was ordained to the gospel
ministry by the Presbytery of Arkansas
Oct. 16, 1900, his first charge being at
Forest City and DeValls Bluff. He was
pastor of the Presbyterian Church of
Augusta, Ark., from May 24, 1903, to December,
1907, at which time he became
pastor of the Springdale and Hazel
Glen churches.
On October 26, 1904, he was married
to Miss Emily Macnab, of Augusta, Ark.,
to whom he was a most tender and affectionate
companion.
Mr. Morrow has been a member of the
Board of Trustees of Arkansas College
since June, 1905, and for the last several
years has served the Board as an unusually
efficient Secretary.
As a member of Washburn Presbytery,
brother Morrow will be greatly missed.
He was thoughtful, faithful, and efficient.
On account of his special qualifications
he "was at the last regular meeting of the
i-resbytery elected Chairman and Treasurer
of Home Missions. Three years ago
he was unanimously elected to the office
of Stated Clerk of the Synod of Arkansas,
and has proven to J>e one of the
neatest and most efficient Clerks we have
ever known.
As a man, few better have ever lived.
He was a perfect gentleman, respected
and loved by all who knew him. As a
husband, son, and brother, he was kind

in an me remuous 01 me,
and even outside of his immediate family,
many were his acts of kindness towards
others.
Mr. Morrow underwent a severe operation
in the forenoon; and after he revived
it was confidently hoped that he would
survive, but the suffering was too great.
