Great Waves In History.
Have you ever stood on the sea
beach and watched the rollers
come sweeping to the shore? If
so, you probably have noticed
that every now and then one of
them will be bigger and nobler
than the rest—will come in with
a mighty thunder and a glory of
high thing foam and magnificent
in its towering strength, dash
far up on the shining sand.
Well, when you stand on the
beach of time and watch the cen
turies as they come rolling in.
you will see that ever and again
one is mightier than the rest,
topping them in greatness.
One of those great waves of
the ocean of time was the golden
age of Greece, one was the thir
teenth century in Europe, ami
another was the sixteenth cen
tury in England, the age of j
Elizabeth.
Several decisions of immense
importance to the entire future !
of England were made during
Elizabeth’s reign. For one thing.
England became definitely a Pro- !
testant nation. For another with
the crushing of Spain in the de
feat of the Great Armada she
took command of the seas, which
she was henceforth to rule as her
own domain. And she also be- j
came a sharer in the New World
with all its tremendous responsi
bilities, beginning that career of
colonization which has given 1
her the largest empire of the
civilized world. Then, too, she
took her place as creator of a
great literature.
It was certainly a marvelous
time, and the more one reads of
it the more inspiring it becomes. I

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR-THUESDaY, SEPT. 11, 1913
GONE HOME.
Mrs. Daisy Tomlinson, (nee
Moseley,) the subject of this
sketch, was born Oct. 31st, 1883,
and was happily married to J. P.
Tomlinson July the 4th, 1909, and
departed from this life Aug. 7th,
1913.
To this union was born two
children, a girl now about three
years old and a boy about one
year old.
As a child she was obedient, as
a girl in the home and in school
she was loving, considerate and
industrious, anticipating every
wish of her parents, brothers and
sisters. As a young woman in
society she conducted herself
with such ladylike deportment
that it made her a favorite with
everybody and as a Christian she
was faithful and true. As a
friend and neighbor she was
kind and obliging to everybody,
As a wife she was loving and
helpful; being filled with a spirit
of fidelity that made her give the
best efforts of her life to the best
interests of her husband, and
care of her children. As amoth
ier she was devoted, having a
burning desire for the proper
training, education and religious
development of her children.
While sick her children were
her chief concern and when she
came down to the borders of
delerium, and when reason seem
ed to have almost forsaken her
she would cry out and say “Car
! ry my children to church.”
She had gone on a visit to her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
I Moseley of near Uvalda, to spend
! the Fourth of July, she being
there only a few days before she
was stricken with typhoid fever,
and for three weeks physicians,
family, friends and trained nurse
| did all they could to nurse her
back to health and the arms of
her loved ones, but the Lord said
“It is enough, come up higher.”
She leaves a father, mother,
four brothers, five sisters and a
host of friends to mourn her de
parture; but we do not mourn
without hope, for she said “I am
allright, I have no fear.”
Weep not dear ones, though
her hands lie across a pulseless
bosom, her lips hushed and her
eyes forever closed to the beau
ties of this world, yet she is not
dead.
The same principles that made
her an obedient child, a dutiful
girl, a kind friend, a devoted
Christian, a helpful, loving, wife
and mother, still live and will
live for ever.
She was laid to rest in the
Moseley cemetery in the presence
of a large number of friends and
loved ones. Brother Sconyers

One Who Knew Her.
Learned How It Was Done.
Elihu Root tells a story about
himself and his efforts to correct
the manners of his office boy,
says the National Bulletin. One
morning the youngautoerat came
into the office, and, tossing his
cap at a hook, exclaimed:
“Say, Mr. Root, there’s a ball
game down at the park today,
and I want to go down.”
Now, the great lawyer was
willing that the boy should go,
but thought he would teach him
a little lesson in good manners.
“James,” he said, “that isn’t
the way to ask a favor. Now,
you sit down in my chair and I’ll
show you how to do it properly.”
The boy took the office chair,
and his employer picked up his
cap and stepped outside. He
then opened the door softly, and,
holding the cap in his hand, said
quietly to the small boy in the
big chair:
"Please, sir, there is a ball
game at the park today: if you
can spare me I would like to get
away for the afternoon.”
In a flash the boy responded:
“Why. certainly, Jimmie: and
here is 50 cents to pay vour way
in.”
Lightning struck the turrets
on the tower of St. Paul’s Meth
odist church in Atlanta. Tuesday,
and several blocks of granite
were dislodged, but no serious
damage resulted.
