IN MEMORY OF
MRS. RASTELLO
Mrs. Albertine Perrian Rastello
was born in St. Maurice, Alsace-
Lorraine, France, December 26, 1864.
She departed this life September 12,
11)22, at the home of her devoted
daughters, in Barnesville, Ga. She
is survived by her brother, J. A.
Perrian, of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
She came to the United States in
1906 with her husband and three
children —Aurtlie, Jeanne, Pierre —
to Dawson, Ga., there meeting her
brother wjio had preceded her to this
country. In a short time the hus
band and father died, lenving her to
know the trials of a widow and fath
erless children. But just at this
time she 'was gloriously converted
and joined the Methodist church, and
ever after remained a faithful mem
ber.
She possessed a happy, cheerful
disposition and her words and life
proved whom she served. She was
always solicitous of her children and
grand-children, and admonishing
them to love and serve the blessed
Lord and Saviour. The last acts of
her life were attending the church
services, giving her testimony of her
love to God, and taking her grand
children with her. When about to
be operated upon, she was asked,
“Suppose you never wake up,” her
reply was, “if 1 never wake here, I
will awake in Heaven for I know
Jesus."
“Aslyep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to
weep.”
May God’s love and guidance be
over Mr. and Mrs. Burousas and
children, Mr. and Mrs. Antonio and
children and Piere R'astello. Follow
her as she followed her Saviour.
MRS. W. P. MILLER.
Resolutions on the Death
of Mrs. M. F. Gulledge
Whereas, the Death Angel visited
our midst on August 14, 1922, tak
ing from our number one of our
most*beloved and highly esteemed
members, Mrs. M. F. Gulledge, one
w r ho, though not able to meet with
us often, always left upon our lives
the impress of her cheerful smile
and wholesome, unaffected spirit,
ever “brightening the corner where
she was,” and,
Whereas, the life of this dear de
parted one was a life of sincere de
votion and gratitude to her Lord,
unselfish loyalty to her friends, and
good-will and helpfulness to all, be
it,
That we deeply deplore
our loss, but rejoice in her gain, feel
ing that she is peacefully resting in
that world where no sorrows ever
come, and “where all tears are
wiped away”; and further,
That we express to her bereaved
companion our heartfelt sympathy,
pointing him to that source of grace
and mercy which alone is able to
apply the healing balm to his tom
and bleeding heart.

BLUE EYES.
Ah IMPENDING'CRISIS
(Charles K. Brown in the Cordele
Dispatch ).
This is a protest against the “prom”
parties which have been so frequent
ly the main diversion of the young
people of this community. It is not
a sad story about the morals of the
young-— parents who care about their
sons and daughters are going to keep
them largely in the places of gentle
men and ladies. We can rest easy
about that. We arc not at the
jumping-off place in moral degrada
tion—not yet.
But the “prom” points the way
much more so than does the dance.
s’oung people dunce their best be
fore their admirers. In the “prom”
they go to someone of the best
honjep .in the ,;community but later
spend their evening together in the
dark corner* of the street*. There/
whether saint or winner, gvery one
wbo takes part Is called the worst
kind'of sinner—and so the “prom”
isn't founded on any kind of prin
ciple which tends towards guarding
the good name of the; young girls
who attend. This form of diversion
was not invented to meet the social
needs of gentlemen or ladies. Wc
say it because whatever reflects on
nice people isn’t, the right kind of
amusement for that kind. The
“prom” has no way of reflecting but
the one light—that is an improper
light.
Young woman, your moral status
is none of our business—you have
doubtless spfd that already—but the
kind of husband you get is some of
your business. Your social aspira
tions are very high—if they are nat
ural. You want to do well—nothing
wrong in that —but you will do worse
if your good numc—your womanly
virtue—is brought into question
every time a group of young men
get together—and that is what hap
pens. You could not marry a mat)
who will keep faith with you—who
will be true to you- who will under
stand the exalted position of fro*-
band and wife—if one lone man ever
steps over the line with you. He’ll
tell others and boast about it—that’s
what woman killers <k the first op
portunity they have after anew con
quest. And these woman (tillers
want virtuous women when they go
to choose their wives.
A young woman’s good name is
more to her than anything else in
the world—and she doesn’t always
have to go wrong to destroy it —the
wreckers get her sometimes when she
doesn’t deserve it—the sensation
mongers, the tale-bearers, the char-'
acter assassins! She’s the constant
object of the scandal hunter —the
young woman who conducts herself
properly and attends to her own bus
iness. It is an old, old way of the
world.
Young women who take no thought
of their frail good name do not know
that these “proms’’ leave then# sub
ject to all sorts of criticism— that
these social affairs are founded on a
base, lowly, purposeful design of op-
Opportunities of wrong conduct—of
wrongful thought. No Christian
home ought to tolerate another. No
girl who cares a straw what boy a and
men say about her womanly virtue,
will risk getting soiled in such an
atmosphere. The dance for us ervery
time in preference.
