as president of the Ladies' Missionary
Society of the Commerce Presbyterian
Church, and more recently as presi
dent of the Athens Presbyteriai. Mrs.
Simpson's splendid services in behalf
of her church and her Maker have
left the indelible impress of her Chris
tian character on all with whom she
came in contact. Not only will she
be misled in her home, but also in
her church, in the Presbyteriai and
throughout this entire section, but
those who mourn her loss are not left
without hope, for she was certainly
one of the finest Christian characters
and best church workers throughout
all North Georgia Presbyterianism.
The funeral services occurred in
Commerce Presbyterian Church Thurs
day morning at eleven o'clock. Rev.
Samuel J. Cartledge, pastor of the
Prince Avenue Presbyterian Church
of Athens, Ga., was in charge, and de
livered a splendid funeral oration on
the life, character, and good works
of this good woman. Dr. E. L. Hill,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
?Jhurch in Athens, Ga., opened the
funeral services with one of the most
beautiful, sympathetic and all to
gether appropriate prayers which was
ever heard upon a similar occasion,
and there was not a dry eye in the
large congregation at the close of Dr.
Hill's prayer.
After the services here, the inter
ment occurred in the cemetery at Dan
ielsville, Ga. The exercises at Dan
ielsville being in charge of Revs.
Messrs. Boswell and Langford.
Mrs. Simpson had hardly reached
the meridian of life, and yet during
her short life, her days were filled with
acts of loving kindness to the sick
and suffering, and her life was de
voted to the service of her Maker and
the salvation of souls.
Mrs. Simpson was possibly known
and loved for her many splendid Chris
tian traits of character by a larger
number of people than any other
in the entire Presbyteriai of Athens,
and the church was crowded with
those not only from Commerce, but
from all sections >f the Athens Pres
bytery, who came to pay their last
tribute of respect to the beloved dead.

MRS. BRTTIR J. FRIEND.
"At her home, 'Rose Hill," Charlotte
County, Va., Mrs. Bettie J. Friend,
widow of the late Robert Morton
Friend, fell asleep on the afternoon
of July 28, 1922.
"Mrs. Friend was the eldest daugh
ter of the late Charles and Eliza El
liot Henderson, and was born at
'Chauletta,' Prince Edward County,
Va., May 7, 1846. She was educated
in private schools and at the Farm
ville Seminary, taking full advantage
of her educational opportunities. She
was at an early age well fitted to enter
upon the duties of life. On November
9, 1865, she married Robert Morton
Friend, only son of the late William
G. Friend, of "Pine Grove,' Charlotte
County, and they made their home at
?Rose Hill,' where she spent the re
mainder of her long and useful life.
"Mr. Friend died on December 13,
1891, leaving her the care and train*
ingi of the young children, to which
trust she was most faithful.
"She is survived by one sister, Mrs.
H. O. Baldwin, of Buckingham County,
Va., and one brother, William L. Hen.
derson, who still resides at the old
home in Prince Edward County, Va.
Her children are: Charles H., of South
Boston; Thomas W., Robert M.,
Joseph G., William G., Susan Morton,
and Eliza Henderson, all of Drakes
Branch.
"On the afternoon of July 29th, she
was laid to rest In burying ground
of the Drakes Branch Presbyterian
Church, the church where she had
worshiped for so many years."
Mrs. Friend's sterling Christian
character, manifesting itself in a most
faithful, good and useful life, has
written her true eulogy, and shines
on as her bright enduring memorial.
To know how, she endured, and
what she accomplished, is to know
that she was strong of mind, and true
of heart.
Her life's story places her high in
the noble list of the great in faith,
the heroic in courage, the patient in
suffering, and the devoted to duty.
She was a "living epistle" wherein
could be read and known of all the
exceeding riches and all sufficiency
of divine grace.
When she was left alone to run her
farm, and rear her young family of
seven, she faced her heavy task with
resolute courage, and, with fine judg
ment and great diligence, successfully
conducted her affairs. She answered
well the description given by the wise
man of the '^worthy woman."
Hers was an eminently Christian
home. She "ruled well her house"
and "commanded her children after
her in the fear of God." Truly there
was nothing that she could do for
their welfare and happiness that was
left undone. She has her reward in
their worthy Christian characters and
their useful lives. With one voice
they "rise up and call her blessed,"
and declare that she was a most wise,
faithful, loving and self-sacrificing
mother.
While earnest and sober-minded,
Mrs. Friend was habitually bright and
cheerful. Though not strong in
health, she met her constant and heavy
duties with a smile and a song. And,
with all that was upon her, she was
yet the very soul of whole-souled hos
pitality. How many could tell of her
wide-open door, her hearty welcome,
and her abundant good cheer!
Mrs. Friend united with the Pres
byterian Church early in life, and was
a faithful and devoted member to the
end. She was deeply versed and well
grounded in the Holy Scriptures, and
was a rarely attentive, intelligent and
appreciative hearer of the preached
word, and was also a "doer of the
word." She was a kind neighbor, a
loyal friend, and good to all: she
"abounded In every good word and
work."
She will be greatly missed in the
church, and by her many friends.
Having "served her generation well
by the will of God" and "finished her
course," she could say: "I have
fought a good fight, I have kept the
faith." She has been welcomed with
her Master's "Well done" and has
"received the crown of life at His
hands." W. McC. M.

the very best of the long series of ex
ercises prepared by the Executive
Committee of Christian Education and
Ministerial Relief. It is an appeal for
life and will go far toward changing
the unwise and unprofitable methods
used at the Christmas season.
Copies of the exercise with suffi

will be provided free to all the
churches and Sunday schools of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States. They will bo sold to others
at the rate of $3.00 per hundred.
