OBITUARY
The passing Sister Matilda Brewer
from these “Halls of Time” leaves the
most noticable vacancy that Hill s
First Baptist Church has had in many
years. There is a large number of per
sons among us who, in view of the im-
TH R ATHENS REPU BIJ QU R
practicableness of religion as seen by
the Negro, have lost faith in his dem
onstrations along this line; but no mat
ter how eccentric or odd an Athens
Christian believer might be, he had per
fect faith in any exhibition of religion
made by Sister Brewer. She went to
Heaven, or to that place where they tell
me we will all abide until Gabriel places
one foot upon dryland ami the other
upon the sea and sounds with his im
mortal trumpet the final recall to study
war no more. In that day eceu see him
as he orders the infantry to “Stack
arms ’ and disband, the calvary ride up
and are ordered to dismount, unsaddle,
and unbridle their horses and give them
to that little child who shall lead them,
the cannoniers are ordered to disengage
the breach blocks of their cannons so
that they become as harmless as the
great oaks of the fores s about them.
The aviators are ordered to descend
and park their machine- . The sailors
are ordered to desret the shipsand com
mit them to the waves. Then we see
the Savior Himself standing in the
•hi.dst of this great miscellaneous multi
J
ftude, no longer generals ami captains,
• no longer the rich ami the poor, but the
of one Lord and Christ. As
[those on t' e Mastei’s righthand start
on their upward and triumphant march
to glcrv we see Sister Brewer moving up
