Barnett, who departed this life July Slut, 1917. Uncle Pink was about 74 years old when the Lord called for him. He was a confederate soldier, and on the day of the surren der he came by and stopped to talk. He said it was a lone some day, a very lonesome day indeed to him. He could see so plain what was coming but the Lord did not see fit for him to remain here and bear any more of these troubles, so He said, “come up higher”, where there is-.no strife, pain or no death, but ah is peace ana love. Uncle Pink was always af flicted but had a strong resolu tion and never called a doctor for himself except one time un til his last sickness, which was very short and his death was un expected by his friends and e jven his family. He was a de moted husband and a kind fath er and a good neighbor. He leaves a second wife and two children by her and seven children by his first wife, and a ’ host of relatives and friends and friends that wifi miss him. M?ny hearts have been made sad by his death. Children do ' not grieve he is thru with this world’s troubles, and to the son jthat has just give up the little ! babe, father had the same sad experience. He stood over the casketof his dear companion,al jso two children, and took his last view.

Children, there is only one more chance. If we. miss it, oh can we miss it? to the unsaved, are you going to miss this last chance? Just say to day Oh, Lord, how can I the last and only chance to see my dear father?
