GONE TO MIS REWARD.
Samuel C. Candler, on August the
28th, ult., at his home away in the
land of the flowers, surrounded by
loved ones, and with only a few
hours warning, there came to the
home of our brother, an angel from
o’er the fields of glory, from o’er the
Jasper sea, bearing a scroll in her
hand, and on it was written the
mandate from the Grand Master,
“Charlie, your spirit is wanted with
the God who gave it.” Always
ready to do the bidding of his God,
to serve where he could do the most
tb please the Master, in his humble
way, and in obedience to the call,
he, like a babe upon its mother’s
breast, fanned by the gentle and
balmy breeze of the evening, lifted
his eyes toward heaven and smiled,
and then closed them in sweet sleep
and his spirit went home to the God
who gave it. His dear wife and
children, brothers and sisters, and
many friends are left to mourn the
great loss that we all have sustained
in the untimely death of Brother
Candler.
Brother Candler, was a man and
a Mason of many lovable traits, a
man that was always true to his
convictions and stood by his honest
opinions in ail things that affected
his country and his family and his
God. We are made to rejoice in
the fact that his trust was firmly
fixed upon his God, and that his
faith was well founded, and that he
was striving by daily practice of the
great tenets of our order, to add
to that faith virtue and knowledge,
patience, temperance and brotherly
kindness, deeds of mercy and of
love, which has at last ripened into
the golden harvest of God’s love to
man. By his departure, we are
suddenly made to remember that in
the midst of life we are in death.
So when we retrospect the past we
find that our days are spent in sow
ing and in reaping, rejoicing with
those that rejoice and weeping with
those that weep. Brother Candler’s
life was spent in sowing deeds of
charity, in carrying peace to those
of the unfortunate and in wiping
away the tears of bitter grief that
gnaw and break the hearts of his
brethren. His Masonic life was not
ali spent in his home lodge and im
mediate community, but in the
Grand Lodge of Georgia, in the Ma
sonic Home of which he was one of
its first Trustees, he gave his sym
pathy, his love, his money and his
time with untiring zeal, in the Home
that he so much loved and so much
talked of, the Home that was to be
come the resting place of the indi
gent Master Mason, his wife, widow
and orphan children. But after a
while, disease laid hold upon our
brother, and he and his family were
called upon to leave their native
home, to seek a place elsewhere
more mild and in a softer climate.
So in 1907 they sold their home in
Villa Rica, Ga., and moved to Clear
water, Fla., where they lived at the
I time of his death. He made many
I friends in the new town and in the
| state, among the citizens and in the
lodge. His genial and lovable dis
position, his great belief in the
brotherhood of man to man and
love to God, won for him the hearts
of his brethren and so they at the
annual election of the officers of the
lodge, elected him Worshipful Mas
ter of the lodge at that place, which
he declined to accept on account of
his declining health, but was a
faithful craftsman to the end.
Brother Samuel C. Candler, was
born in Carroll county, Ga., on March
the 13, 1855, where he spent most
of his life. He was always in his
boyhood a faithful and obedient
child, and as he grew into manhood
he became an upright, honorable
man and citizen, enjoying more
than ordinary ability and his great
mind was recognized as a power
when questions of doubtful charac
ter arose and his judgement was
sought for and always found where
justice sit enthroned. He was
man of the highest citizenship, both
in the county and the state. When
he was called upon to serve his peo
ple as a citizen, as a juror or neigh
bor, it was done in that unassuming
way that made it a pleasure to have
him with you and to feel that
friend had come to give relief to
whatever matter might be in hand
He served as foreman of the grand
jury of his county several times and
his excellent manner won for him
friends that scarcely comes to but
few men in a life time. We can
almost say that he was a man with
out fault, truly a good man. In
Bro. Candler’s religious life, he was
an exemplary Christian, and that
too, in his home, in his business,
and in his social relations, as well
as in his church, that is, he was a
Christian inwardly as well as out
wardly, in heart as well as in con
duct. It may be said of him truth
fully, as it was of Nathaniel, “Be
hold an Israelite indeed in whom is
no guile." Being humble in spirit,
he aspired not to position and power,
but being brave and true, he shirk
ed no duty. As a consistent mem
ber of the Presbyterian church for
many years, he served the cause of
his Christ as Sunday school superin.
tendent and Sunday school teacher
and as a wise and efficient Ruling
Elder. He seemed to realize fully
his stewardship to his Divine Lord
and Master, and always contributed
liberally to the worthy cause. We
part with him here in sorrow, but
with strong confidence that we shall
strike hands with him again in the
bright and the glorious hereafter,
when He, who was born to be earth’s
Savior and King shall descend and
come to our graves to whisper an
invitation to eternal life, then we
shall be gathered never again to
part.
In Bro. Candler’s twenty-first year,
just as he was entering his man
hood, he and Miss Jennie Bevill
were united in wedlock on July 5,
1876, and there was homed unto
them ten children, four of whom
preceded him to the glory land.
Leaving his wife and six children to
mourn his loss with his brothers
and sisters and many friends. Those
who survive him are his dear wife,
Mrs. S. S. Coachman, Mrs. Reid
Hearn, Mrs. Bertyon Allen and Miss
Margaret Candler, with the two
sons Samuel C. Candler, Jr., and Asa
Warren Candler. His brothers are
Ezekiel S., William B., Asa G.. War
ren A. and John S. Candler. His
sisters are Mrs. Florence Harris,
Mrs. Jessie Willard and Mrs. H. H.
Dobbs, all of whom are the very
highest citizenship of the county
and state.
To his heart broken wife and chil
dren, his brothers and sisters and a
host of friends and neighbors, who
so keenly feel this great loss that
we all have sustained in the death
of Bro. Candler, who has left his
family that will so much miss him,
we join in and share your great loss
and your deep grief with no little
pain. No one sympathizes with you
more than does the writer, on ac
count of the long and intimate rela
tionship that existed between him
and myself. Volumes could be writ
ten upon Bro. Candler’s life, and
then the half not have been told.
I loved him like a brother, he was
of the highest type of the brother
hood and true to every obligation.
So we wish to express to the kind
sister and wife the proloundest sym
pathy of our heart in the loss that
we have sustained, each of us who
knew him, only knew him to love
him, and his absence from us cre
ates a void most difficult to fill.
Then will you permit me to join in
with the brotherhood, his friends
and neighbors, to mourn with you
and the sad privilege of co-mingling
our tears with yours in this sad
afflictive bereavement. May the
Father of the fatherless, the God of
love, the God who tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb be your adequate
relief to a wounded and bleeding
heart. May we be able to say from
the depths of our hearts,
“Why do we mourn departed friends
Or shake at death’s alarm;
'Tis but the voice that God sends
To call them to His arms.
Fraternally,
J. D. Hamrick.

“Yes ?”

Gilbert’s Joko on Punch.
W. S. Gilbert and F. C. Burnnnd,
the editor of Punch, were once
guests at the same dinner table,
where a wise host placed tlio rival
humorists at opposite ends of the
room in the hope of distributing
equally the witty table talk. Con
tinual shouts of laughter rose from
Gilbert’s corner, until Bprnand,
after ineffectual attempts to rouse a
similar jocularity in bis immediate
circle and unable to conceal his
chagrin, leaned forward and said in
liis most sarcastic manner, “I sup
pose Mr. Gilbert is telling some of
those funny stories which he occa 7
sionally sends to Punch, buyHljjgh
don’t appear.” To which GiflWl
dryly replied, “I don’t know who
sends the funny stories to Punch,
but it’s very true they don’t ap
pear.”
Clever Fat Man.
Napoleon was decidedly embon
point. Dr. Johnson was fleshy even
to flabbiness. So was his biograph
ical shadow, Boswell. Balzac, the
great French novelist, was so stout
that it was a day’s exercise to walk
around him, and he was encircled
witli bandages as if he were a hogs
head. Rossini, the composer, was a
regular Jumbo, since for six years
he never saw his knees. Jules
Janin, the prince of critics, broke
every sofa he ever sat down upon.
Lablaelie, the great singer,' was
charged three fares when he trav
eled. Dumas pere was : stout, and
Sninto-Bcuve carried the stomach
of a Falstaff, the same as Renan.
Eugene Sue had such aversion to
his growing corpulency that he
drank vinegar to keep it down.
Shaving In Ancient Egypt.
The earliest'reference to shaving
of the beard is found in Genesis xli,
14, where’we read that Joseph on
being summoned before the king
shaved himself. There are several
references as to shaving in Leviti
cus, and the practice is alluded to in
many other parts of the Bible.
However, Egypt is the only country
mentioned in the Bible where shav
ing was practiced. In all other
countries at that time such an act
would have been considered igno
minious. flerodotus mentions that
the Egyptians allowed their beards
to grow when they were in mourn
ing. • So particular were they as to
sl'tiiving at all other times that to
have faeglected it was to make one
self the butt (of coarse and ridicu
lous jokes. ■ I
An Apology Duo and Forthcoming.
An illiterate young man once got
a friend to write a letter for him
to his sweetheart. The letter was
rather prosaic for a love letter, and
the lover felt that an apology -was
due to his sweetheart for its lack of
tender nothings. It was added at
his suggestion as follows:
“Please excuse the mildness of
this here letter, as the chap wot’s
ritm it is a married man, and ha
says he carn’t ’bide any soft soap*
ings. It alius gives him the spe**

The Water Telescope.
The fishermen of -Norway some
times employ a rude sort of water
telescope of Jheir own invention. A
tube is proclired, made of tin and
funnel shaped, about three and i»
half feet long and nir.e inches in
diameter at the broadest end. It is
made wide enough at the top to
take in the observer’s eyes and the
inside is painted black. At the bot
tom or wide end a clear, thick pieeo
of glass is inserted, with a little
lead in the form of a ring to weight
the tube. When the instrument is
immersed in clear water it is said
that the observers can see down an
astonishing number of fathoms.—
