H. L. BARDWELL.
{Resolutions adopted by Session of
First Presbyterian Church, Meridian,
March 27, 1910.)
H. L. Bardwell, a member of the First
Presbyterian Church, and a beloved
member of the Session of said Church,
died at his residence in Meridian, Miss.,
on the morning of March 16, liilO.
He was no ordinary man, and his life
was not an ordinary one. His father was
a distinguished minister of the Presbyterian
Church. Mr. Bardwell was born of
well-bred and Christian people. He united
with the Presbyterian Church at an
early age, and with a Christ-like spirit

He was a man of strong convictions to
which he clung with great firmness in
dealing with all questions of right and
wrong. His Judgment was unerring in
discovering the right and he held thereto.
: PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOB
He was modest and unassuming, yet fearless
in meeting life's duties. He was
great in his conceptions of the sublime
truths pertaining to Christian living.

Church will sorely miss him, and the session
of said Church will suffer an irreparable
loss. There was no important
question that was ever submitted to his
pastor and his brother elders, which invoked
their judgment as to what was for
the good of the Church, that his opinion
was not sought, and, in nearly all instances,
followed.
All men who knew him could truthfully
say of him, "Mark the perfect man, and
behold the upright: for the end of that
man is peace."
To the will of God in removing our
friend and brother to the home prepared
for His saints we sorrowfully and humbly
submit, and herebv tpnrtpr our cJr>_
cere and fraternal sympathy to his bereaved
wife, children and relatives.
We hereby direct the Clerk of our Session
to record this on the minutes of the
Church, and to send a copy of the same
to the family of our brother, and to our
Church papers, The Presbyterian, at Atlanta,
and The Christian Observer, for
publication.

MISS MARY ELIZABETH HUGHART.
Miss Mary Elizabeth Hughart died on
the fourth day of March, 1910, at the
University Hospital, Charlottesvil'e, Va.
She was the daughter of Robert A. and
Margarfet Jane Hughart, and was born
December 10, 1869, in Pleasant Ridge
Township, Lee county, Iowa, her parents
soon returning to Bath county, Virginia.
She was in her forty-flrst year. In early
life she became a member of the Warm
Springs Presbyterian Church and her
connection remained with this church
until her death.
As a child and young woman she was
a regular attendant at church and Sunday
school, and took much interest in
both as long as she lived in the neighborhood.
She was buried at Warm Springs
on March 5, her former pastor, Rev. Wni.
C. White, now of Churchville, Va., conducting
the funeral exercises.
She is survived by her mother, Mrs.
Margaret Jane Hughart, of Warm
Springs, Va.
The latter part of her life was one of
suffering, and it was a blessed re'ease
from pain and suffering when she was
called hence.
"What I do thou knowest not now; but
thou shall know hereafter."
"For we know that all things work to>
gether for good to them that love God,
to them who are the called according to
His purpose." Her Pastor.
fTH. April 13, 1910.
MISS LIZZIE WILSON.
On the evening of March 17, at her
home near Stovall, N. C., after several
months' illness, Miss Lizzie Wilson pass
ed to "that rest which remaineth to the
people of God."
Those who knew her well will readily
feel how inadequate must be the expression
of appreciation of this saintly character
in a brief sketch, even how feebly
it could be done with many words. Yet.
if we were confined to a single sentence
we believe we could strike the keynote
to her beautiful life with no better words
than saying, "she lived for Christ and
others." Seldom it is that we have the
pleasure, in this busy struggling world,
of knowing one whose life was so complete
an embodiment of the teachings of
our Master.
Being the oldest of seven children, her
mother's early death brought heavy responsibilities
upon her while she was yet
quite young, which she shouldered and
bore cheerfully and uncomplainingly, putting
aside her own desires and consecrating
herself to the happiness of others.
Giving her heart to God early, her life
was devoted to training lives for Him
and His service. In historic old Grassy
Creek church of which she has been a
loyal and devoted member most of her
life, she will be greatly missed, where
she has for years had charge of a band of
girls known as the "Jewels." These
Jewels are scattered far and wide, but
some day with many others, will "rise
up and call her blessed."
Miss Wilson is survived by four sisters,
Misses Grace and Clemmie Wilson, Mrs.
Nannie Gregory and Mrs. James Nathaniel
Daniel, and one brother, Mr. Good
rich Wilson. J. F. C.
WHAT TO BRING HOME.
By Sara Virginia Du Bois.
All day Marion had been out making a
round of calls, and her tender heart was
full of all she had seen and heard.
It was about the tea table that she told
her experiences, and eyes filled at the
recital. In one family a fortune had suddenly
been swept away, and where luxuries
had been known, privations and
hardships were being endured; the tidings
of an accident and death had
crushed another household, and still a
third was sorrowing because of an incurable
disease which was slowly but surely
eating out the life of one of its memhera
As she recounted It In sympathetic
tones, the little mother was moved to
tears and a sadness fell over the entire
circle.
Six-year-old Dan listened with keen Interest
and looked from one to another,
then back again at the sister.
"Didn't you find any happy folks?" he
said.
As swift as the flight of an arrow the
smile came back and she was her sun
ahlny self.
Dan Is right; we have no call to dwell
upon the gloomy side of anything. We
can cheer those who need cheer, but we
