VIRGINIA RUTH BENN.
Virginia Ruth, the infant daughter of
Rev. and Mrs. R. L. Benn, of Mayesville,
Ky., d'ed on August 12, 1912. She was
born on August 17, 1910, 0FV>r nearly
two years she was a source of peculiar
Joy in the home. She was so gentle, so
quiet, so sweet that she compelled one's
love. Perfect in form and features, her
jeweled soul radiating her countenance,
she was a living picture of beauty.
But all along it seemed that she was
too unusual a character, too delicate and
refined a flower, to remain long amid
the rude winds of this world. And yet
her death was so unexpected. No one
thought that God, so soon, would take
her to himself. But God knows best. Her
name is graven upon hearts made better
by her brief stay. Her memory will
be more precious and fragrant as the
years roll away. Confident of meeting
her again after awhile, we bow to our
Father's will, and lovingly say, Goodhvp

MRS. GERARD E. CRIST.
On June 5th, 1912, the beloved wife
of Mr. Gerard E. Crist, an elder in New
Providence PreBbyterian Church, Va.,
gently breathed her last, while her pas
tor stood by her bed-side with other
friends and repeated some of her favorite
verses of Scripture, such as the 23
Psalm and the 14th chapter of John's
Gospel.
She was the eldest daughter of John
Ralston and Nancy Buchanan Berry and
was the last survivor of a large famly.
She was born August 27, 1830, and was
therefore nearly eighty-two years of
age. On March 23Td, 1866, she was
united in mariage with Mr. Crist. He
and their faithful daughter, MIbs Nannie
are left to mourn her loss while one
son preceded her to the grave.
For some years she had suffered from
a very trying malady, but her mind
dwelt much on religious matters and
she consulted a number of times with
her pastor concerning h?r spiritual wel
rare. *Tom eariy gmnood sne had been
a communicant of New Providence
cburch and though living eight andles
away rarely missed a service till detained
by her last infirmities and one of
the severest trials of heo* sickness was
that she could not get to church.
For sometime before her death she
seemed to have lost all fear and doiiht
and was Impatient to go, praying God
to take her home. 'Her death was peaceful
and she was laid to rest in the beautiful
New Providence Cemetery, where
repose the dust of all her brothers and
sisters, and most of her immediate ancestors.
Loyalty was one of her outstanding
characteristics. She was loyal to her
people, her minister, her church and
heT God.
fH. W. M., Pastor.
ATT APPRECIATION.
"Never morning ware to evening
But some heart did 'break."
On the evening of February 18. 1912,
in a sanitarium in Memphis, Tenn., the
spirit of Mr. J. A. Car-others passed into
a porer, happier realm, even an heavenly
country.
The tidings of hie sudden departure
came as a shock to his family that
indulged fond horpes of his recovery.
Mr. Oar-others was born in Btarkville.
Miss., July 7, 1848, of very pious
parentage, Br. A. M. Oapothers, his
father, being an elder in the Presbyterian
church, and his mother an active,
devoted Christian.
When about fifteen years of age
upon confession of faith in Christ, he
united with the church and a few years
later, in early manhood, was promoted
to the office of deacon.
At a more mature apte he nrrisrht, hut
for excessive and characteristic himvllftv
that forbade hie consideration of
" he eufraetrtlon, been elected to the etVII
hi??hpT office of elder.
While a very vonnjr man he enlisted
1u the Confederate armv and rendered
to this canae enthusiastic service.
In the yeRr 1880. April 21st, his de?
L N or THE lODTh
tiny was united with that of Miss Rosa
Beattle, who by 'birth and culture was
fitted to make an ideal companion.
This union was blessed with five children,
all o< whom, with his wife, survive
him.
Until Mr. Carothers' health failed
eighteen months before his death, he
had for many years been actively connected
with the Peoples Savings Bank
of Starkville.
Physically the deceased was strikingly
pleasant to behold, and with this
attraction was combined a winning manner
and an indescribable humor and
quaintness that was as delightful as
ft was original.
This humor, free from criticism and
acrimony and based alone on kindness.
accounted largely for his magnetic
power to draw, without respect to age
or sex, many who called him friend.
He assuredly was true to his friends,
loyal to principle, hospitable, conservative,
reverential, kind.
Strange not then that the community
in which he lived should, with the family
circle, mourn the albsence of him
whose place none other can fill.
The children who live to perpetuate
his virtues are Mrs. F. J. Weddell, of
the A. and <M. College, Miss.; Mt. Robt.
M. Carothers, of Schenectady, N. Y.;
Miss Rose and Messrs. Charlie and
Beattie Carothers, of Starkville.
He was laid to rest by loving hands
and a mass of flowers upon the freshmade
mound attested the esteem and
affection of a people for a noble man
gone to his reward.

"FROM GBEENLANITS ICY MOUNTAINS."
Some thirty or forty years ago ser
mons were to De preacnea on a particular
Sabbath in the town of Wrexham,
in the north of Wales, in 'behalf of the
propagation of the gospel In foreign
parts. The clerk of the parish church,
to whom in those times belonged the
selection of the singling, came in very
disconsolate to the vicar of the parish
and told him that there was no hymn
suitable for such a subject. The sonin-law
of the vicar happened to be at
that time visiting him, and the vicar,
turning to his son-in-law, said: "You
are a bit of a poet; you see the distress
of my clerk, and what he has to do;
I wish you'd relieve hito by writing p
hymn for this occasion, and we will
have it struck off and printed. Let it
be of simple, easy measure, and we will
have It sung on the Sabbath." The
son-in-law of the vicar produced a
hymn. That hymn was sent to the
printers, sheets were struck off and distributed
in every pew, and it was sung
on the next Sabbath.
Twenty years afterward, the same
minister of Wrexham hunted up in the
lumber room the manuscript of this
old hymn, and this was the autograph
which I had the pleasure of looking
upon?"Reginald Hefoer;" and the hymn
was:
"From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand;"
a hymn which has inspired, perhaps,
more of missionary spirit in the churches
than any other.?Rev. W. Morley
Punshon.
