MEMORY OF TILLMAN PAFFORD
“For we know that if our earthly
house of this tabernacle were dissolv
ed, we have a building of God not
made with hands, eternal in the heav
ens.’’
Tillman is dead. He has put off
his garment of flesh—it is dissolved.
He has crossed the cool waters of
Jordan, and behold! he is now clothed
with that immortal, and resting in
the shade of the trees. We say he
is dead. What had he to do with
death? Nothing, for death is a mock
ery. He has only fallen asleep in
Jesus. The child only crowned Christ
his Master, and the Master came to
claim his own. We bade him fare
well. For him it was farewell to
tears, farewell to pain and death. For
him it was good morning to angels,
good morning to his Maste wrho was
placing a crown on his head. His
frail body has bidden good morning
to a bady of health of immortal. In
stead of going down into dust and
mud where you think you laid him,
he stepped ipto the eternal building
of God, and his Master placed his j
body on a bed made soft with love,
his head on a pillow of glory. Till
man could not understand, before he
left earth, why his path was strowed
with thorns; why God let him suffer
the pangs of death; why the program
of life seemed lost forever. Now he
understands. Perhaps fort every
pang there is an amethripst which
Christ Himself has set in his crown,
and when death seemed to claim a
victim, eternal life was claimed his
own.
School mates of his, do you remem
ber the sweetest boy, and the dearest
friend we all had in school? You a!
know it is Tillman of whom I
Do you recall the fact, that a'l of us
sought, gained and appreciated his
broad and sure smiles ? Yes, I rest
doubly assured that all the old boys
and girls are indebted to him for
many pleasant greetings. All the
wild flowers he picked we claimed.
Everything he had in school, that was
ours, too. Yes, we had his service,
all that his little frail body could do,
wheij we girls had work to do about
the school house. Yes, over and over,
it was Tillman we all loved and ador
ed. Though his poor body bore tes
timony of suffering, we were greeted
always with a patient, loving smile.
Though he has laid down the burden
of life, he has now found his heavenly
home and real life which was hid
with Christ in God.
Oh, Schoolmates! let the life of

Tillman make us patient and kind;
let it inspire us to nobler purposes.
Though we may not suffer what Till
man suffered, let us realize more fully
health is a gift of God, and the grand
est luxury He ever gave us is health,
and use our strength for His glory.
Is Tillman happy? Yea, he is su
premely happy. But indeed, there is
one thing in heaven he wants that he
has not. What is it? It is our corn
pan’/ He longs for his father and
motlur, brothers and sisters, and his
school friends, too. Shall we go to
meet him one day ?
Yes, Tillman’s body lies in a new
made grave. But press lightly on his
bosom, mother earth, for never didst
thou enclose a youth more noble,
more generous and kind hearted, than
he who sleeps beneath that sod.

Is upon the future of their children’s
eyes and eyesight.
Defective eyesight hampers a child
all through life.
Correct glasses for each eye will re
lieve the trouble —and sometimes fin
ally cure it when commenced in time.
Mothers! this is a serious question.
Don’t neglect your child’s eyes.
Bring them in for examination; if
they do not need glasses 1 will cer
tainly tell you so.
If they do need glasses the sooner
they are accurately fitted the better
the child’s eyesight will be in the
future.
85 per cent of all headaches are caus
ed from eye-strain, which glasses will
entirely relieve.
