TRIBUTE OP RESPECT
TO MR, BRANHAM
RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY OX
FORD METHODIST SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONCERNING
J W. BRANHAM.
In the life of J. W. Branham cer
tain virtues were so conspicuous that
ais friends may well consular the les
sons which he has taught us, not bj
mere profession and advice, but bj
' genuine example. Although
more
j than throe score and ten years old hi¬
; W as not only a regular attendant at
1 the preaching
service but also at our
Sunday School. He did not fall into
that popular but hurtful error which
j considers the Sunday School as litn
I ited to the instruction of young pe»-
1 pie- He was not a teacher or officer
i !i,it found pleasure and benefit in be
{ing a member of a class, and he as
j j sisted and interesting in making to that others class helpful In the
j sionally talks and readings before the which whole he school occa
j gave
hn he ulintirciH showed q a Koanfifnlltr beautifully sympathetic
and tender spirit.
°ur friend und "brother has taught
us that life may be something higher
than the getting and the spending; of
material goods. The things of 1b.e
spiritual life were very real to him
and the object of his constant
thought. On the Heavenly Father
and His care for us and on our rela¬
tions to Him he constantly meditated.
Concerning the deep things of relig¬
ion he would often apeak, and in a,
simple, familiar yet reverent way
without either »train or taint of af¬
fected piety. He kept to a rare de¬
gree the command which God gave
through Moses“Therefore shall ye
lay up these very word* iu your heart
and in your soul . . speaking of
them when thou sittest in thine house
and when thou wattest by the way.
when thuu best down and when thou
risest up.” Deut. xi:18-19.
He was genial and young in spirit,
charitable toward all, optimistic,loyal
to his church, encouraging in his at¬
titude towards every good work, a
man of simple, devout and reverent
faith. The Oxford Sunday School
ha* lost in him one of its most es¬
teemed members. While we sorrow
because of his going away xve would
at the same time be glad because of
the grace of God as manifested in him
and of the good example of Christian
faith which he has lived before us.

OPINIONS DIFFER ON
GOVERNOR’S COURSE
IT IS NOT KNOWN WHETHER NAT
HARRIS WILL INCLUDE PRO
HIBITION IN HIS CALL
FOR EXTRA SESSION
Atlanta, August 18.—The big unan¬
swered question that is overshadowing
every other political consideration in
Georgia today is whether Governor Nat
10. Harris will or will not include pro¬
hibition in his call for art extra ses
a,n of the legislature.
The session will lie held beginning
Wednesday December 1. and its main
object, of course, will be tbe passing
of flu* general appropriation bill. Gov.
ernor Harris has within himself the
right and discretion to include prohi
bition in the call or not as he secs fit
and the'legislature is competed by law
to abide by his call. Tf lie puts prohi
bition in. it can be considered Tf he
does hot specifically include prohibi¬
tion in th v . call, it cannot be brought
up at all.
Opinions differ sharply on which
course tin governor will take. Craw
ford Wheatley and other representa¬
tives claimed that the governor stated
informally to thenrthat he had no idea
of including prohibition in the call.
Tip. governor’s closest political ad¬
visors also express the opinion that
he "ill not. But Hie governor him¬
self has authorized no such statement,
and on the other hand it is stated
specifically from hi* office that he has
not yet decided.
The pholiibitiofi leader: declare* that
they feel assured that he will include
prohibition. They say that their ac¬
tion in adjourning the house and fore
ing a special session was a “war
measure” which they had a right under
the circumstances to resort to, and that
’they felt they had a rig lit to let tiie
wet minority we for once how it felt
to be “rim over.”
They believe that as a result of their
action they will have an opportunity
to put a prohibition measure before
the special session.
