Whereas, The Death Angel has
again stepped into our midst, stop
ping the pendulum that vibrated
in the bosom of one of our worthy
brothers.
Whereas, Another gentle but
heroic spirit among us returns to
dust and another noble squ! wings
its flight to that “undiscovered
country from whose bourne no
traveler ’ere returns," and
Whereas, Our thoughts delight
to dwell upon the genial personal
ity, the rugged character and
manly qualities of our deceased
brother; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Grim Reaper
n thus invading our ranks and
cutting down the beloved form of
Bro. Julian McKnight has inflicted
a great lo'-s upon this body and
brought sadness into the hearts of
his surviving fiiends and relatives;
and, be it further
Resolved, That we, the members
of the Order of W. O. W. Camp
Mo. 485 of Locust Grove, Ga., take
this opportunity of giving expres
sion not only to the deep and abid
ing sorrow which fills our own
hearts, but that also we extend to
the widow and relatives of Bro.
Julian McKnight our sincere sym
pathy in these days of inexpressi
ble grief, and that we give to them
our assurance that the splendid
qualities and virtues of our belov
ed brother shall be a constant
source of inspiration to us until
we, too—
“ Shall wrap the draperies of otir couches
about us
And lie down pleasant dreams.”

In Memory of
Mr. Will Mitchell.
On the twenty-fifth day of November
How well we all remember,
How sad the morninp and so still
'Till we heard of the death of brother Will
We did not Know till he was gone
That we would feel so sad and lonely,
But we must, try, one and all.
To be ready at our Master’s call.
Oh! give your aching heart a rest,
f s ’or sorrow has a purpose.
And dear brothers, sisters and friends,
Heaven’s gate dear Will entered in.
Some day this earthly home will fall;
Will you l>e ready for the Master’s call!*
B * ready, for the time is unKnown
To bear us away to another home.
Oh Lord. maKe this a peaceful life
Until You call its there
To that beautiful city of light,
Where angels dwell ever fair.
We'll find no other in his place.
Jus* K :oi>* brother Will’s parting
These words were heard with a smiling
face: i
'Sweet, Jesus I offer You iny heart, in
just a simple prayer.”

that an idle brain is the devil’s

As I was riding along the road
one day I happened to glance off
to one side and saw a herd of cows
grazing among the grass that grew
by the little stream that was slow
ly winding its way onward to the
mighty ocean. What were these
cows doing? Working for man.
High over head the clouds were
flying swiftly and gently, carrying
to the parched earth and wither
ing plants the refreshing raindrops
that are so needful for a bountiful
harvest. While between the
clouds the bright, golden sun
beams were trickling down and
tickling the fields of green, what
were those clouds doing ? Work
ing for man, too. 1 tell you, folks,
if we will but pause a moment in
our mad rush for fortune and
fame, and consider how God in
His wonderful ways is working
for us, then make up our minds
that for the future we will work
half as hard for Him as He works
for us, we wouldn’t be looking
with stretched neck to some imag
inary planet a million miles away
for that place we call heaven —it
would be right here on this earth,
right here among us and not a
million or more miles away.
As your uncle is now in the city
of Atlanta (for the next few
months at least) it will be impos

will be so kind as to give a little
space, I may from time to time
write a few rambling remarks un
der the heading, Odds and Ends.
