IN MEMOIHAM.
Entered Into rest on Friday, November
22nd, Elizabeth Crow Mohler, of
Raleigh, N. C., beloved wife and daughter,
whose friends were numbered
throughout the city and state.
In the midst of the sweet years of
full-blown womanhood, pain laid its
heavy hand upon the young mother and
there followed for days and months the
dally burden of suffering with its constant
strain upon nerve and body. But
always there was the untiring effort to
bear bravely the increasing pain?sometimes
less, often niore, acute?with ever
and always the conquering victory of
spirit even in a constantly losing battle.
Her cheerfulness, her sweet thoughtfulness
of others, even during the last
few dayB before her release, will ever
be a precious memory to those who
knew and loved her well. The old smile
was there for any friend who entered
the quiet chamber, showing the unconquerable
hope and good cheer that upheld
her. The pale face with its sweet
smile looked forward to a better day of
some tomorrow when the frail body
would shake ofT its shackles of suffering
and she could rise from her couch of
weakness to serve again those she loved,
as even in pain the feeble fingers sought
to do while the tired body lay upon its
bed of suffering.
But sooner came the realization of
better things than she had dreamed, for
her sweet spirit has entered into the
perfect life untouched by taint of sickness,
and forever fair with the immortal
bloom of paradise.
To those who sorrow for her going,
the motherless little one and all whose
hearts ache In the desolate home, there
is the sweetest comfort in the sure faith
that for her there is no more death,
neither sickness nor pain, but joy, supreme
and perfect, in God's own presence
and with the saints in glory everlasting.

REV. J. W. ROSF.BRO. 1). I).
(A memorial adopted December 8th,
1912, by the Mossy Creek congregation
In memory of Rev. Dr. J. W. Rosebro.)
It Is with sorrow that we have heard
of the recent death of our former pastor,
Dr. John W. Rosebro, who died on
November 26th, 1912, at his home In
Clarksvllle, Tenn., where he was for a
number of years professor of Practical
and Systematic Theology In the Southwestern
Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
We desire to pay our last tribute of
respect and love to his memory and to
express to his distressed family our own
grief and sympathetic sorrow for them
In the tlmo of thotT lno'rr,./.-.IVI.
v..w*> nivAuicnaiuir
trouble by the adoption of this memorial.
Dr. RoBebro'a death wan caused by a
fall on the 16th of November, while on
bis back porch tacking up some wire
netting, when hla right collar bone was
broken and hlB right wrlBt dislocated:
and being at the time In a low state of
health, the nervous shock was too great
for him to survive It. He was bom In
Statesville, North Carolina, November
lith, 1847. He was a graduate of
1 H T THE 191(1
Princeton University, New Jersey, and
of Union Theological Seminary, Virginia.
While at the University he won
the orator's medal in a large class of
students. He came to serve the Lord
in this congregation in 1873, and resigned
to go to Lewisburg, West Virginia,
in 1882.
He came to us direct from the Seminary,
we might say, as a youth in age
and appearance, but soon proved himself
to be a full grown man in Intellect
and ministerial capacity. Soon after
coming to Mossy Creek he married Miss
Fannie B. Smith, daughter of Rev. Dr.
B^nJ. M. Smith, a professor in Union
Seminary, and to this happy marriage
were born six sons: John, Benjamin,
Courtland. Frank. Lacy and Ruther
ford. The first four were born In the
manse on this hill. It was during his
ministry and mainly through his influence
that the church in which we
worship today was built
Dr. Rosebro had many natural gifts
which few ministers have and with all
he made telling and effective use as is
proved by the future results of his labor.
He was a born orator and preacher
of the gospel of Jesus Christ. His
meekness and sweetness of disposition,
his simplicity and suavity of manner,
his sincerity of purpose, his devotion
to his God and his work; all combined
with his intellectual ability and oratorical
gifts rendered film a magnetic and
convincing power in pulpit, and as well
as the home. He sat enthroned in the
hearts of his people and maintained his
position by his wise, loving, and un
affected influence without abatement.
Nowhere was his piety more convincingly
shown, nor his tender loving sympathy
more forcibly exhibited than
when in the chamber of the sick and
dying.
During his ministry at Mossy Creek
many were brought by his instrumentality
into the church, and when he resigned
his charge he left it stronger in
spiritual power and numbers than it had
been for many years past.
Though thirty years have past since
he left us and though dead he still lives
in the hearts of those whom he served,
and though another generation has
grown up and come on the stage of active
life he is fresh in the memory of
those who have come after him. Truly
we can say, "None knew him but to
love?None named him but to praise."

ence of light without a sun. The sun
1b not the only source of light. Christ
is called the "Sun of Righteousness,"
but in a far broader rn.i richer sense
he is also said to be "The True Light
which llghteth every man that cometh
into the world."
Tn His Own Image: The climax of the
continuous creative energy was reached
when God made man. Even omnipotence'
could do nothing greater or more masterful
than the producing of its own image
in a creature. That image embraced
all that a created nature could -hold of
the divine fulness. It cannot be better
expressed than In the words of our
Catechism that "God created man. male
and female, after his own Image, in
knowledge, righteousness, and holiness,
with dominion over the creatures.'*
And It Was Good: There was a divine
complacency in the work which the
human mind cannot comprehend. "It
was very good." It was as much like
uoa nimeeir. as tne nnite and created
was able to be. That beauty and goodness
must have been marvellous, when
we think of the fact that even under
[ December 25, 1912
the cloud of sin the world is still so
wonderful. The relation of nature to
grace Is not yet understood by us. The
whole creation is represented in the
Bible as waiting "to be delivered from
the bondage of corruption into the glorious
liberty of the children of God."
Some are zealous of being successors
of the apostles. I would rather be a
suocessor of the Samaritan woman, who.

forgot souls, forgot her water-pot in her
zeal to spread the good tldlnc*?t
