Kind Editor—l am so glad to see
that you do not fail to put tilings
into your paper that have a foun
dation. The piece ti:i- week on
going t. > church is so much in keep
ing with the Bible, I want you to
reprint it. I think it will do us all
good to study it some
We are not only commanded to
go to church, but to do so much
more than we fail to do. You can
find these words in Deuteronomy,
9tli chapter, 6th verse on to 9th.
And these wores, “Which 1 com
mand thee tin- day, shall be in
thine heart: and thou slialt teach
them diligently unto thv children,
and shall talk ot them when thou
sittest in thine house and when
thou walketh by the way, and
w hen liest down, nu t when thou
risetn up.” And this in the 78tli
Psalm, 6 and 7 verses, ‘‘That the
generations to come might know
them, even the children which
should he horn ; who should arise
and declare them to their children :
that they might s t their hope in
God, and not forget the words of
God, but f keep His command
ments ”
Now-when I read what we are
commanded by God himself to do,
my heart’s cry is. Low can any
body spend theii tim; in ] laying
rook or anything else that does not
poiut to God ?
I am so weak 1 seldom ever get
to church, but try to study my
Bible and live it with God’s help at
home, and want all who may read
this to know that they can find
the sentiments of my heart in the
84th Psalm, 10th verse: “For a
day in Thy Courts. I had rather
be a doorkeeper in the house of my
God than to dwell in the tents of
wickedness.” And then the 11 Hi
verse says, “For the Lord God is a
sun and shield : the Lord will give
grace and glory: no good thing
will be withheld from them that
walk uprightly.’'
[ want to ask everybody to study !
the 100th Psalm daily: “Make a
joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye
lands. Serve the Lord with glad
ness: come before His presence
with singing. Know ye that the
Lord He is God : it is He that hath
made us, and not we ourselves ; we
are His people, and the sheep of
His pasture. Enter into His gates
with thanksgiving, and into Hi--
couits with piase: be thankful
un o Him and bless His name.

is everlasting; and His truth cn-

Obituary.
Mr, John T. Wilson, who died at
i Rex, Ga., May 18th, aged 81 years,
was buried at Macedonia church
yard, where a large gathering of
triends were met to pay the last
tribute of esteem to an old friend.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs'.
Samuel H. Wilson, and a nephew
of Rev. John S. Wilson, who many
years ago was for fifteen years the
beloved pastor of the First Presby
terian church of Atlanta.
Mr. Wilson was a brave Confed
erate soldier, a member of the
Eleventh (la. Regiment, Ander
son’s Brigade, and fought through
tin- war, four times severely
wounded in the service of Lis
country.

Christian, having United with the
DiCatur Presbyterian church in
early manhood, and old age found
him ready when the summons
on me, patiently waiting for the
Master's call.
When overcome by sinking spells
during his last illness anil being
revived again, he would say : ‘‘Oh !
why did you not let me go? Why
did you call me back again when I
seemed so near that bright and
happy home, and all my suffering
over. lam willing and ready to
go when it is God’s will to take
me ”
It has been four years since Mr.
Wilson was a resident of DeKalb
i county, but having spent the great
er part of hts life here, was well
known and highly esteemed, and
many friends regret to know of his
death.
He was a kind, affectionate hus
band and father, whose family
were devotedly attached to him.
He leaves to mourn his loss his
wife, two sons and one daughter :
Mr. Clem Wilson and Mrs. Henry
Eberbart of Rex; and Mr. Cecil
Wilson of Jacksonville. Fla. ; one
brother, Mr. V. A. Wilson of At
lanta, and two sisters, Miss M. E.
Wilson and Mrs. Lula Waldrop of
Jonesboro.
“A dear one from uk has gone;
A voice we loved is still;

Which only Christ can fill.

A gentle voice said come;
And angels from the other side
Welcome oar dear loved one home.”

I have read my Bible for many
years and have found a promise to
no one, only in obedience to the
command of God. Now this, Rev

to death, and I will give thee a
crown of life.”
I want to ask «11 to pray that I
may be faithful.
