BY REV. \V. W. ROOP
Again, says Jesus, “I came not to
do mine own wil hut the will of
him that sent me,” and in prophecy
referring to the same lie says, “Suc-
riliee and offering thou wouldest
nut, in burnt offerings thou dost
have no pleasure,” then, said lie,
"Lo! I come to do thy will oh
God.” Hence we see that his coin
ing was to do the Father’s will.
Again he says, “I have finished the
work which Jhou gavest me to do.”
But reaching’'the climax of resigna
tion <md submission, he cried, “Fa
ther, if it he possible, let this cup
pass from me, nevertheless not as I
will hut as thou wilt.” In this is
manifest his complete devotion,
and also the glories of a perfect
life inasmuch as resignation to the
Father’s will called for sacrifice
of his own life on the cross. There
fore, it is written: “He for the joy
that was set before him, endured
I hesitated to attempt to write ail
obituary notice in this instance.
Perhaps someone else besides my
self would be more proper to write
it. But why should I not give my
testimony to her faithfulness
through tile long period of our mar
ried life, constantly my companion
and helpmate for more than fifty
years? I am sure that i know her
better than anyone else, and tie-
sides, I feel that l want to pay a
personal tribute to her blessed
memory in my own proper name.
I have no room to set forth her
many virtues in language which
would express the facts; I will have
to he content with a mere glance
at them.

O. and Nancy Embry. She was

left the precincts of a quiet home
and happy family and with com
ing of anyone, but did not hate
the wrong-doer, only the act. Her
spirit was one of forgiveness and
she could not harbor malice or ill
will. She loved the truth for the
RESIGNATION
truth’s sake, and regarded it as
wrong to deviate from it, even in
joking. In over one-lialf century
constant association I have never
known her to utter a wilful false
hood.
Above everything else—husband,
children or dear ones, she loved
her Heavenly Father, as she was so
fond of calling Him. She literally
believed everything she found in
the Bible. She had no patience
with any cavil or doubling over
God’s word. She never thought it
necessary for poor mortals, ignor
ant as we are, to understand all
that is in the Bible, hut only that
we could lay claim to His precious
was promises, and His plan of salva
tion. Repentance! Belief and Faith!
Saved by Grace! was her creed.
Her faith was sublime indeed, “in
some Way or other, the Lord will
provide” was her way of giving ex
fortable surroundings and plighted pression, when dark days overtook

of the law, so that not one jot nor
tittle fails from the law until all
was fulfilled. Then looking to Je
sus as a perfect model both of wis
dom and righteousness we can
learn that in this life, this perfect
submission to the Father’s will was
paramount, and all that he did was
in obedience to that will. Now' let
us think for just a little while and
see how his will conformed to the
Father’s will; how very much then
is involved in this thought, that it
could be God’s holy will that Jesus
pel requires to give assurance of keeping her watchful care of them

earth as it is done by angels in

sweep her darlings from her sight!
Then too, she was always ready
to sacrifice her own rest for my
benefit, or for anyone else who
needed nursing and (attention.
She was quiet and unostenta
tious, but she was ever ready and
anxious to respond to the call for
help, when and wherever it was
made. She was a friend to every
one. and never gossiped, Ah cir-
was a favorite way of showing her
entire faith in Him.
She united with the Baptist
church at Carrollton soon after we
were married, where she remained
a faithful member to her death.
Ten years ago, however, she sus
tained an accident in which three
ribs were severed from the back
bone, and since that time she has
been unable to attend church. She
has often had the cottage prayer
meetings to meet in her home, and
always enjoyed the services great
ly, as she did also when a minister,
or other Christian would call on
us. and officiate at her request.
Her sufferings have been extreme
for several years; dropsy and leak
age of the heart brought about the
end. For a year she had great dif
ficulty in breathing, and for weeks
before her death, we had to sit by
her bed almost constantly and fan
air into her mouth to keep her
breathing. She was never heard
to murmur at her lot. She suffered
many times during her illness more
than she did at her final departure,
when on Monday. May 22, 1916,
she passed peacefully away at the
home of one of our daughters,
Roth, in Atlanta, going without any
once after her sudden attack. Her
countenance was perfectly natural,,
and she simply feel into a sweet
sleep, looking as if she had a gentle
smile on her face (as she always
did in life), and completely al rest
fell “asleep in Jesus.
We brought her to Pleasant Grove
cemetery ami laid tier 10 rest beside
her father and mother, the place
which she had selected as her last
“resting place,” with many weep
ing friends from her old communi
ty and from Carrollton, her home
town, and Villa Rica, to pay the
last sad respects to her memory.
The greatest comfort of all is that
we know she is saved L Saved from
all trouble, sorrow, pain and death,
and “Safe in the arms of Jesus!”
