OBITUARIES.
AT REST.
Mrs. Sallie Nicholson Gordy,
died on the eighth day of Oct.
and hot spirit took its flight to
the home of the soul. She leaves
a mother, sister and brother, a
husband and two little children,
besides a host of friends and rel
atives to mourn our loss and re- <
joice at her gain, for we know she <
is far better off with God than
with us.
She was a loving obedient
daughter, a faithful wife, a kind
loving, sister, a devoted mother
a good neighbor, a true friend and
best of all she was a servant of
God. What more can be said.
She was a Primitive Baptist and
loved the people of God. How
are we to know that we have pass
ed from death to life? “Because
ye love the brethren/’
The presence of God was with
her in her dying hour. Those
who witnessed her death-bed scene
were impressed with the reality of
religion. She praised God while
she was dying and wanted so much
to sing. What a comfort it must .
be to the be 'eaved family to re
member how • ppy she was and
how she wanted to go to Christ.
She asked her mother to meat her
in heaven, and kept saying she
was so happy. She tried to send
a message to each of her friends,
she wanted them all to meet aer
in that happy land. She thanked
her mother and friends for wait
ing on her so good while she was
sick. Even in her dying hours
• she was thoughtful of others.
When her sick husband was
brought in to see her, her first
words were, “Crocket, become a
Christian and, and meet me in
Heaven. Promise me, Crocket,
promise to meet me.”
To the husband I would say that
“A dear one in heaven thy heart
yearns to see,
At the beautiful gate may be
watching for thee.”
Then listen to the rest of that
verso: “Ye must be born again.”
You had a wife of whom any man
might beproud, a wife in every
sense She was a de
voiV- "WH* &yabfe
roman.
/r. And youwho know hfer so
wdMf«.know what you have los\
Remember her last words to you
were“ Meet me in heaven.” Mother,
grieve notforyour beautiful child,
but rather rejoice that she is at
rest away from life’s noise. She is
gone home. There is no sorrow
there. And .it won’t be a great
while before we can all join her.
Ob, what a happy meeting that
will be I
Sister weep not, Sallie i* now
singing in Paradise and what a
glad welcome she will give you,
by and by. Brother, you have lost
one of life’s weetest boons, a sis
ter’s love, but she is with Christ'
her elder brother, who can make
her far happier than can any
earthly brother, however faithful
he may be. .• You did all you
could for her, but God saw fit to
take her to him, and we do not
wonder that he should pluck such
a fair flower from this garden
to transplant it nearer Him where
all its beauty and sweetness will
be brought out by the sunshine
of his love. You can do but one
more thing for your darling sis
ter. Carry out her last request,
and meet her in heaven. The peo
ple of Cusseta have lost a good
neighbor. The church has lost a
shining light, but God has gained
a bright gem for his crown. And
may her Christian experience, be a
bright star to guide her friendo
to that home on high.
Mother, God highly honored
you by giving in your care and
keeping one ot his most precious
treasures and honored us all by
giving us such a dear friend.
May we all do as she wishes
meet her in that happy land, and
sing praises with her forever more.
And as she said farewell,everybody
we all said farewell darling Sallie.
She’s singing now in paradise,
And giving God the praise,
She will sing of love forever
more,
< And rest through endless days.’’

Mrs. MATILDA BOYT
departed this life Ocotber 28 1895
after five year’s suffering with can
cer, which gave her great pain; all
of which she bore with great Chris
tian patience fortitude. She was
53 years, 11 months and ten days
old when she died. She was the
kind, tender and loving wife of
Thomas Boyt. She never made
any profession of religion, but left
abundant proof of her acceptance
in the Beloved. She leaves a sor
row-stricken husband, eleven chil
dren, two brothers and three sis-
era, be sides a host of other rela
tives and friends to mourn their
loss. It seems so hard to part with
one so good, so kind and so true.
We will never meet her again on
this earth 1 How sad! But our
blessed Master, who works all
things after the council of His own
will, had a wise purpose in calling
her away. She was willing to go.
She prayed so often to her blessed
Redeemer to take her home. We
can only hope to meet her again
on Canaan’s happy shore. She of
fered a most beautiful prayer on
Sunday before she died. Hei fu
neral was preached ny Elder
Cribbs, from the text “I will
not leave you comfortless,” Alter
which the precious body was laid
to rest to await the resurrection
morn, when we shall come forth
again anew and enter the everlast
ing kingdom of our Lord and sing
his praises forever. Happy
thought I Her loving neice.

T. E. NORWOOD,
Son of L. G. and Elizabeth
Norwood was born March 4th 1877
and died October 28th 18V5, aged
18 years, 7 months and 24 days.
“Ed.” as he was familiarly called
was loved by all who knew him.
Although his parents had been
dead for many years, yet the early
training they gave him during
their brief stay with him, made its
shining mark on this dear boy’s
life and went with him to the
grave. He never united with any
church, but on the evening before
his death he spoke of wanting to
see me, and his friends sent for
me. When I entered his room
and extended to him my hand, he
said, “Mr Stallings Lam going to
die,” I asked him if he was ready
for the change, to which he repli
ed, “I hope so,” and went on to
tell me his experience, which in
deed was a Christian experience.
He then said he wanted to join the
Primitive Baptist church if he
was ready, and asked me to pray
for him, and after I had tried to
speak in prayer, he extended his
hand and said “Thank the Lord”
ffie to shake hands with
* h g'kh wyrih—
which ‘ was d
of joy and sorrow
several members present) after
which he called us all “Brother”
and “Sister,” I asked him if he
felt better, he said “I certainly do”
and said he, “the Lord has heard
your prayer, and oh what good
luck I have happened to tonight,”
He asked me to pray for the fam
ily and the doctor who had been
so kind to him. He requested
that all of his debts be paid, and
talked on, telling of his love for
the Baptist people, and expressed
a desire to be well long enough to
be baptized, and so continued to
talk that way until his spirit
taken its flight. Oh I what unmis
takable evidences he left us that
he was a redeemed soul. We.
sorrow deeply for his soirowlng
brothers and sisters who have no
father nor mother to pity them.
To them we say may God bless
you all and help you to bear this
heavy shock. May his blessings
rest upon the dear family under
whose roof he sickened and died.
And may he tenderly remember
the skillful,, kind and untiring
physician who, with many others,
shed many tears over the dying
boy. He was burried at Union
Church. He leaves two’ brothers
and one half-brother, three sisters
and three half-sisters to mourn
their loss.

Dear Brother Simms:—l wish
to say to the readers of the Banner.
that lam an agent for Durand
and Lester’s Hymn and Tune
Books, and have them on hand.
Can furnish them at 85 cents sin
gle copy, or SI.OO sent by mail.
I keep them for the benefit of our
people without any profit to me,
except the knowledge that I have
been a help to have better singing
in our churches. The advantage
of these books is, that the music
is written with the words and we
can learn to sing all parts correct!
iy-
One of the churches of my
charge has bought 1 1-2 doz. of
hymn for the congregation, and
they are well pleased with them.
They contain almost all of our
old tunes, with a great many new
ones, and the sentiment of the
words is strictly in harmony with
our doctrine. It is a book that
I feel willing to commend to our
churches, singing schools and
homes.
Yours to serye
