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 ithat roval wav with all the other elect- I •r«»T <\. , t . v - * The Christian Workers Club of Hill’s First Baptist Church would be delight ed to have new members.
