itamsey: 1 nomas Emmett Ramsey,
aged thirty-four years, died December
30th at the home of his parents, Thomas
Isaac and Mrs. Amelia Boyd Ramsey, in
San Antonio , Texas. Faithfully and
well had he served his generation while
he lived, and his death was in keeping
with his life. Two days before death
came he asked that he might once more
receive the communion of the Lord's
Supper. After the simple service he
said of the company of friends who
were there. "They are the roses about
the Rate." "He being dead yet speaketh."

Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God
in his wise Providence to remove by
death from among us our dearly beloved
sister and co-worker, Mrs. O. A.
Stephenson, therefore be it resolved,
1. That the Ladies Missionary Society
of Plsgah church. Highland county,
Virginia, has lost one of its most faithful
members, and while we deeply
mourn her loss from our midst, yet we
humbly and reverently bow to the
Divine will, knowing he doeth all
things well.
2. That we extend to the members of
her family In their time of bereavement
our warmest sympathy and commend
them to the One who comforts "even
as a mother comforts."
3. That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the family and to The Presbyterian
of the South for publication.

The eldest son of Thomas and Virginia
Barksdale was born at "Spring
Hill" May 12, 1885, and on August 7.
1911, at his mother's home peacefully
entered Into rest.
For many weary nfonths he had
fought a brave fight for life, but young
manhood, with all Its strength and
promise, could not stay the progress of
the disease that slowly, but surely bore
him to the grave. It is a source of
great comfort to his loved and now
lonely widowed mother to recall his
patience, his fortitude, his unterrifled
calm as he looked into the face of the
"Kine nt Terrors." For him that much
dreaded enemy had no terrors, because
he was trusting in him who had
triumphed over death and had led
captivity captive- Tls sweet to think
that the life, cut off in the fullness of a
ripening manhood, is not wasted or lost
Those brief, active years of play, of
study, and of earnest work in the care
of farm, and home, and those months of
suffering, all these were but the preparation
of the young man for another
home and another sphere, "wherein
dwelleth righteousness." As the hud
plucked from the parent stem, continues
to unfold its peflals and reveal its
swf?tne*s and Its beauty, so in the
Father's home Edwin will continue to
THE PRESBYTERI,
develop Id manly beauty and In a
stronger and purer service of the King
of kings?his own Lord and Master.
Then "weep not," dear friends, "as
those who have no hope." The tear will
not dry. the sense of loneliness will not
cease to oppress the heart, the vacancy
lu the home will not be filled, yet, Oh!
yet, he lives, freed of every pain,
breathing unhindered the pure air of
heaven, and singing with full clear
voice "The Song of the Redeemed." Let
his new and greater peace and joy and
service fill the mind and cheer the heart
of those left behind.
"Not now. but in the coming years,
It may be in the better land;
We'll read the meaning of our tears,
And there, sometime, we'll understand."

SERMON A MILE LONG.
Preached by J. Hudson Taylor.
By Rev. Wallace S. Paris.
Rev. J. Hudson Taylor, head of the
China Inland Mission, was a man whose
heart and soul were to an unusual degree
bound up in the principles in which
he believed. He would countenance no
compromise with evil. To others, the
point under d'scussion might seem a
minor one; to him wrong could never
be made right.
An illustration is found in an incident
related by his son, Dr. Howard Taylor,
at a memorial service in Shanghai.
Among other instances showing his
father's characteristics Dr. Taylor gives
this story:
"We arrived In China with him on
April 17th last, and at once proceeded
up the Yangtse River to Hankow. From
there we went by rail into Honan. with
no plans made in advance, but just
following God's leading.
"Two or three stations were visited,
one requiring two half-days in a sedan
chair. He was so weary at times that it
seemed he could not beep his seat.
"At one station the residence was
nearly two miles away from the worship
hall. After resting on Saturday the
question arose as to whether he would
take a sedan chair there on the morrow.
Tt seemed the only possible way for him
to be present at the service.
"The question was put to him. He
would not have the sedan (which Is carried
on the shoulders of four men), and
so break the day of rest for others.
"He began the walk, starting an
hour and a half before the time, managing
to take a few steps and then resting
upon a little chair which we carried.
His progress could be only step hv step,
and then a rest.
"The country people gathered around
and asked why we did not have a
sedan. We explained God's wish that
all should rest and worship on that day.
Indeed before we reached the place of
worship we had preached a sermon
more than a mile long."?The Christian
Ttndeavor World.
Ts not this a sermon to many Chris,
tlans who lightly regard the Fourth
Commandment, and travel in trains, and
on street cars, read the Sunday news,
paner on the Sahbath day and in many
other wavs dishonor the Sabbath day.
Remember the Sabbath day to keep It
holy.
Six day8 shalt thou labor and do all
thy work
But the seventh day is the Sabbath of
the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do
any work, thou, nor thy son. nor thy
daughter, thy manservant nor thy maid
servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates:
For in si* days the T/ord made heaven
and earth, the sea, and all that in them
is. and rested the seventh day, wherefore
the Lord blessed the Sabbath day
and hallowed it. Exodus 20:8.11.
If thou turn away thy foot from the
Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on
AN OF THE SOUTH
tuy holy day; and call the Sabbath a
delight, the holy of the Lord, honour
able; and shalt honour him. not doing
thine own ways, nor finding thine own
pleasure, nor Bpeaking thine own
words:
Then shalt thou delight thyself in the
lx>rd; and I will cause thee to ride upon
the high places of the earth, and feed
thee with the heritage of Jacob thy
father; for the mouth of the I.<ord hath
spoken it. Isaiah 58: 13-14.
Not everyv one that saith unto me.
Lord. Lord, shall enter into the kingdom
of heaven; but he that doeth the will of
uiy Father which is in heaven. Mat.
thew 7.21.
But be ye doers of the word, and not
hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Tames 1:22.
AN APPEAL TO THE CHURCHES OF
THE UNITED STATES TN BEHALF
OF THE FAMILY.
By tlie Commltttee on the "Family Life"
of the Federal Conncll of the
Churches of Christ In America.
Dear Brethren:
We rest our appeal to you on the
proposition that the family and Its development
Into the home lie at the
foundation of human welfare. Religion.
Education, Industry and Political Order
must look to the family for their
material. Still more. For. as the.great
constructive and destructive forces In
the field of biology have their final evpress'on
in the work of the cell, so it
is In human society. The home Is the
place where all that builds up or pulls
down in the social order does Its final
WE CUTE POSITIVE PROOF.

Cream Chloroform Liniment will give
immediate relief from Pain, hut give

cold in the chest- About three days
afterward I took a lone r'de on a motorcvcle
and acoulred a nice case of bruised
and strained muscles. After a week
nf whining and limping pround. your
Liniment was recommended to me.
After about three good hard rubs with
It and a little Inhalation to onen the
nostrils. I confess that T thoneht T had
the lone-looked-for "Elixir of L'fe." Tt
will give me pleasure to recommend
vour liniment to anv person, especiallythose
pffllcted. of whom T meet quite a
few." Yours very -truly.

Two present tendencies have given
shape to thlg appeal. One Is the encouraging
fact that there Is an Increasing
conviction of the Importance of
these truths, together with much effort
to protect and develop family life. The
other Is the prevalence of great domestic
evils. Our institutions of learning
in their courses of study and our
philanthropic societies In their practical
work are giving increased attention to
the family. Many are coming to see In
