Newspaper Page TextIn Memory of Little Mary Neil Brown. There is nothing that leaves a more aching void in one’s heart and life than the taking away from the family circle, of a little child. This dear baby-girl whom we are called upon to mourn today, lingered only a few brief months in the home f her devoted parents but long enough to twine her baby fingers close about their heart strings, and with her infantile charm and graces to render herself so precious that, when the grim reaper came to gather the delicate little bud, their hearts crid out in agony. The tiny form lies very still to day under tbs greening sods and the sweet cut flowers. The prattling lips are hushed, the sweet eyes closed, the baby hands are folded and the mother's heart is very desolate as she puts away the little dainty garments and the hot tears fall. But Mary Nell is not dead; look up, fond mother, through your tears; look away from the lonely, little grave, away from the griefs and mysteries of this uncertain life to where beyond the shadows there is peace. .Think of the little one, not as a pulseless marble image, but as a white spirit of perfect spiritual beauty, playing with the other Heavenly children around the great “Father’s Knee.” Is it not a blessed assurance to know that we will meet our loved ones again ; and that there will be no sorrow or crying or parting in that “beautiful city” above the stars. Our hearts go out in sympathy to the bereaved and loved ones who weep for this precious baby. May God temper the wind to the shorn and give their hearts the peace that passeth unuerstaning. Whereas, God in his inscrutable wisdom has removed this “tender little flower’’from our midst, there fore, Be it resolued 1 st. That the Woman’s Home Mission Society tender their heart felt sympathy and commend the broken heat ted to the Holy Com forter. 2nd. That a copy of these reso lutions be extended the bereaved parents and a copy of same be printed in the county paper. Clyde Streater Standifer.

The Past and Present. In ISSS T was called to Bliaron Baptist church, four miles from my home, to serve them as pastor. I accepted the call and served them thirteen consecutive years. Then I was away for a short while and was called back to the church and remained with them one year, making fourteen years that I served the church as pastor. If a pastor does his duty to his church, the work is arduous, even wit li . the co-operation of the church. I cherish the many kind nesses shown me by the church, during my stay with them. The older brethren of the church when I began to work with them ms pas tor, consisting of Moses Hootes, I. B. Bryant, A. J. Ammons, Wiley Wright, Patterson brothers, Jas per Upchurch, T. H. Stallsworth, Washington Welch, with others that space forbids their name be ing mentioned, were always my close stand-bys in the work. The younger members were as cour teous to me as I could have asked them to be. To add to my pleasure in the work at Sharon church, I always had a hearty welcome to the homes of maijy of the members of Tur ner’s church, who were always ready to bid me God Speed in the work. Never shall I forget some words said to me as a man young in the ministry, by “Aunt Beckie” Grier and “Aunt Francis” Turner, as we called them. These with some of the others mentioned have passed into the greater Palmy days. Leaving off many things of the past, we come to the; present. It is ii pleasure to me that Rev. I. G. Walker, of Lithonia, Ga., is my successor as pastor of the church, and in his zealous, faith fuly work he is bringing things to pass. During the revival meeting last week, • Wednesday was the time appointed, for the ordination of four deacons. I was requested to assist in the service, but owing to my feeble health and the ex ceeding heat I was fearful to take the risk, but it is a great pleasure to me that in my absence I was not forgotten, as I learned some of the young brethren, J. B Cathy, of Jenkinsburg, and others, sug gested that they manifest their re. membrance of me by sending me a contribution in token of their ap preciation of my work with them in the past. Many of the deacons and the laity of other churches, that were present joined in. I had formerly worked with them as pastor, so to my surprise, but hap pily so, they sent me twenty dol lars and eighty-four cents. J. T Cannon not being present at the church when the offering was made, later sent me one dollar stating that he wanted to take a part in the contribution. 1 am pleased, being c mfident that all of the new deacons took a part in this offering. W. N. Gilmore sent a check for five dollars. While Bro. A. C. Norman was considering the matter as to whether he would serve as deacon. I met with him and he asked me to help him in advising him as to his duty. I did as best I could and when I left him he gave me five dollars. I accepted with pleasure stating that it would help to keep the buttons sewed on. An old minister said to me when I first be gan to serve a church, that when the members saw the cloth wear ing off the buttons on mv coat they would want to change pas tors. But I will say to each con tributor that the new buttons can be pnt on and highly appreciated by myself and family, and if my health improves snffeiently I am coming. This is among some of the present. J. A. Jackson. Mr. W. H. Wilerson has decid ed that the Weeklv is worth read ing, He confessed, and had his name entered.
