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.’’ (The name of the writer was omitted or has been lost.—Ed. 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. Mollie A. Lynn. Collins Ga. (Poetry omitted for want of space- 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. C. W. Stallings. Barwick Ga Oct. 5th,1895. 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 R. H. Barwick Subscribe for the Banner. j APPOINTMENTS. For Elder A. W.
