- Pelham, Ga., May 6th, 1895.
EJlder Leo Hanks. Dear Brother,
I desire to write a few thought to
you for the Banner and may the
Lord enable me to write to the
comfort of the little lambs for they
we the <opes my soul loves, and
surely they are the ones that are
often neglected.
How often do I see them linger
ing around the fold, burdened
with duties, thirsting for drink,
but O sad to say, the brethren and
sisters are often engaged, talking
about worldly matters instead of
being engaged in singing and talk
ing of the goodness of God, tell
ing of their sore trials, doubts and
fears. Often these little lambs go
away mourning and Lave not been
spoken to by half of the members.
Perhaps the poor little babe leaves
thus cast down in sorrow, doubts
and fears and the very cravings oi
their soul is to be fit to join the
church. Satan will tell them that
they are not Christians, that Chris
tians feel clear of sin, have he
doubts, commit no wrong, know
they are Christians, know they
have been born again, kn>w they
are going to Heaven, and the pool
little babe is almost without evi
dence to fight Satan.
The saints should have gone tc
meeting praying for the preacher,
for each other and the little lambi
thus putting off the old man with
his deeds, and letting their light
shine to all in the house. Oftei
it is said that Aor B has a hope
and I have fellowship for him, and
here it stops; yet you say you
love him and you have laith in
him and fellowship for him. Have
you told him? No; yet you haw
faith in him, Where is your
faith? What profit is there in
your faith? None. “Faith without
works is dead.” you have proved
that your faith is dead by keeping
it hid from your brother. Re
member the lesson of Jesus that
those who put their talents tc
the exchanges received the bless
ings, and he that buried his, ever
that he-had was taken away from
him. It is so at this present ttmF’
Blessed is he whom the Lord shall
find faithful when he comes.
Therefore, let us put on the whole
armour of light (works.) and let
us give ourselves to prayer as we
see the approaching days are evil
Let us put our affections on
heavenly things. What will it
profit a man if he gains the world
and loses his own soul?
We shall soon have to leave thin
world with its treasures. Is not
the presence of Jesus more pre
cious than gold? Then let us
awake from sleep and arise from
the dead and Christ will give us
light. Let us bear one anothers,
burdens, and so fulfill the law of
Christ, and thereby prove our
faith by our works, as Abraham
who offered his son Isaac by faith,
and then proved his faith by'
works and received the blessings
of God. When the cry was made
on the day of Penticost: “Men
and brethren, what shall we do?
Then Peter said unto them, re
pent, and be baptized every one of
• Il T rii. •
you in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission, of sins and ye
shall receive the gift ot the Holy
Ghost.” Acts 1: 37, 38.
Dear saints, let us look after our
own house hold, be faithful to dis
charge oifi duties to our pastor,
our widows,and cripples, and also
nurse the babes in the church
(gifts). If parents neglect their
children and let them get crippled
they have to suffer. Is not this
the case when a church neglects
her gifts? Many times the neg
lected gift is almost persuaded to
turn back to worldly amusements,
and would if he could, and were
not afraid of worse troubles; but
fearing the terrors of the Lord, he
tries to press forward through un
told trials and troubles. But alas?
some of the church will raise some
objection about some frivolous
matter, showing to the gift that
they do not confidence him'. Tho
little gift is crippled and falls, by
the way ■ Relieving if his impres
sions were of the Lord it would
not be bo. He tries to drown his
impressions by engaging with the '
world, thus he.aping burden .upon
burden. Finally compulsion
forces him to return as a poor
prodigal and confess his wrongs.
While on his career he fell into
bad company, and the enemy will
rejoice to tell the stain he brought
upon the church. If the church
had have done her duty she might
have saved her member from a
great affliction. Brethren and
sisters, encourage God’s children
( to obedience and'reason with them
on their evidences of hope and
thus prove your love for them.
Yours in hope,
E. F. Dollar.
OBITUARY.
ALTO WILKES,
went home to dwell eternally in
the presence of God with the gen
eral assembly and church of the
first, March Bth, 1895, and aged
22 years, 4 months and 7 days,
leaving a heart-roken father,
step-mother several sisters and
two brothers to mourn the loss ol
this sainted boy, This young mar
passed away in the bloom of youth
and perhaps had no equal for his
devotion to the cause of Chris;
which ho so dearly loved. Th.
unworthy writer had the privilege
of baptizing him Monday after
Ist Sunday in April 1894. Fron
them until his departure from
earth he was a meek humble
secrated Christian. His myro was
staid on Jesus. . z
His mind was -:o much on divine
thmgs-until lie wrote the follow
ing poem in his day-book showing
that his mind was staid on Jesus:
‘•Behold the beauties of the dying day,
The sun has sunk behind the clouds
so grey.
In the golden west is a gleam of light
Adding to the beauties of the coming
night,
Now the stars begins to come through,
And the grass is wet with the spark
ling dew,
O Lord, inspire our hearts to praise,
Thee,
For the glory of the departing dayj?,
So that We may think as the days go
—un, —— .
Os that happy day in the bye and bye,
When all the troubles of this world is
gone,
We shall praise Thee around the snow
white throne.”
At the time of his death he had
been attending the State Normal
College at Troy, Ala., and was
away from home. He was making
his mark as a student for his apt
ness, good morals and Christian
deportment. The following letter
is from Dr. Eldrige;
“Troy, Ala., March, 11th, 1895.
Hon. W. H. Wilkes,
Josie, Ala.,
My Dear Friend: —My heart goes
out to you and yours in your deep
sorrows at the loss of your son, Altc,
one of our most promising students ac
the time of his death, March Bth, 1895.
We had’ arranged, as best we could, on
account of his death occuring after
the college adjournment Friday, to
have our students, as far as we could
notify, to meet on Saturday atß:4s, or
15 minutes before time to start, at the
time we were informed, 9 o’clock-J
but though some way, the start was
about 8.15, and few had yet been to
leave for Mr. Seller’s, the place of
starting. We all deeply regretted that
we could not have been there to show
our deep sorrow and sympathy, for
although Alto had been here but a few
weeks, yet he was loved much by ail ;
his class-mates. ;
You have our deepest sympathy <
and condolence, Mr. Wilkes. <
May God comfort you all by his <
Spirit aud may he give you more and ,
more of his love.
This A. M. I appointed a committee I
of five, of which his own Prof. M. D.
Pace is chairman, to eport resolu
tions expresive of the feelings of the j
Faculty and students, the report to ap
pear in thisjweeks paper.'
Ijm sure Mr. Wilkes, that Alto’s'
race, though comparatively short, was c
well run, and that he now has his 1
crown of rejoicing at the hands of the {
Righteous Judge—a most comforting t
thought to tell his friends.
Praying God’s grace and consolation
upon you, I am symphathetically aud 8
sincerely, yours, g
E. R. ELDRIGE, President, a
State Normal College, Troy, Ala.
n
Report of Committee: v
Scarcely two months ago Alto M.
Wilkes, with the dew of youth on his
rosy cheek and the light of dawning
manhood in his eye, was enrolled a 1
pupil in the State Normal. College.
From the first day he evinced superior
powers, and his general disposition
endeared him to his fellows. He en
tered on ’»e new work in tl|£ fair
morning vllife with the promise of
Jong yearslnd the hope of high hotter;
but since Heaih unheralded comes to
all men, aid while we bow in humble
submission to the decree of Him who
doeth all tnings well, it is me.et that
weexpresslour sympathy; Then be it
resolved, 1.1 That we tender his sorrow
stricken fsjnijy our sincere condolence,
and sympathize with them
in their st |row we would direct their
contemph pons to a fiua re-union in
side the i Early gates of Heaven.
“He is no 5 dead, but gone to sleep,
Beyond j, he reach of care and pain.”

the time comes for them to fall asleep
in death, but it posseses wonderful
healing virtues and one instrument
will last a family a lifetime. Persons
using it should follow instructions
i closely. If you are afflicted from acute
or chronic diseases, or wish to become
a dealer, write us at once and enclose
a stamp to Lee Hanks Boston Ga., or

I have had those ailments for three
years.
Yours,
Mrs. Sallie Fkeman
Oxford Miss, July 1, 1895.
For years I have been suffering
with general debility and indiges

very near haviug a severe stroke of
paralysis. But using Dr. Sanche’s
Oxydouor for three weeks, lam fee
linglike myself again.
I cordially recomend it to every one.
Mrs Mattie S. Wilson.
OXYDONOR.
Why use medicene when you can
buy an oxydonor from $12.00 to $25.00
and cure all curable diseases, without
doctors or medicine? One will last a
lifetime for a family with care. We
want dealers, in every county in Geor

YDONOR. I was relieved of sciatic
rheumatism in the worst form in two
days time and made able to go about my
work,with every symptom of the dread
ful malady conqured.
Truly it is a little “Victor” and a
great wonder.
