Jealous of Trouble.
Love me thus: That every trouble
you’ll divide with me,
Love me so —that every sorrow* you
will let me see;
Love me so—that in the darkness yor
will wish me near,
Reach out to touch me, call my leve
name, waiting still to hear.
For of Trouble I am jealous and I
would not have him low-
Whisper e’en a word 1 hear not;
while of Care I know
Quite enough to fear his presence
nigh my loved one; do
love me then and leave these troub
les; love me only—true.
—D. G. Bickers.

Beddingfield—Lillie Floria, wife of
J Hardle Beddingfield was born near
Gratis, Walton county", Ga., March
1, 1877. She was married to J. Har
die Ileddingfield, December 25, ISD4.
While the writer was pastor of the
Rock Springs circuit in October 1908,
she unit* and with the Methodist Epis
copal church. Her frank unhesitat
ing manner won for her the confi
dence and admiration of her friends
and neighbors and none doubted the
sincerity of her decision. She loved
to do her own thinking and make
h**r own decision. Hers was not the
"Mountain top and valley lov. ’’ expe
rience but faith, patience and love.
She was an industrious housekeep
er, a devoted wife and mother and a
good and heLpful neighbor. The com
fort and welfare of her family- was
her constant thought and in the at
tainment of this she bravely and
nobly went forward forgetful of self
until failing strength compelled sub
mission. In her pleasant home many
have enjoyed her kind hospttalitty
and more than one preacher will re
member the comfortable "preacher’s
room" and the hearty- welcome al
ways found in that home. With a
steadfast faith she patiently and
cheerfully bore her suffering until
the end which came January 5, 1915.
Funeral services were conducted at
Corinth church by the pastor, Rev. L
E. Kilgore, assisted by Rev. J. C.
Chandler of the Wesleyan church.
HAr loss is deeply felt by her hus
band and five children. The church
has lost a devoted member and the
community one of its best and most
useful members but since her suf
fering is over and Gk>d has called,
in humble submission we bow to his
will.
