J, Adams. “In the midst of life we are iu death.*’ Never was this more vividly and stri¬ kingly exemplified than on the after¬ noon of June, the ninetieth, when the life-light of Airs. D. J. Adams sudden¬ ly went out and returned to the God who gave it. It is fitting that we pause in the midst of our varied cares and duties to ponder over the mysterious provi¬ dence that so suddenly took from us one who meant so much in her home, and to all with whom she came iu con¬ tact. But death is th e one thing inevi¬ table. and so it comes to pass that iu almost every home there is a vacant chi ii\ Death is an arrow that strikes very near the hearts of every one—It is a voice crying, “Be ye also ready. May we think of her not as one dead, but one who will e'er live in our mem¬ ory to inspire us to emulate her beaoi vout member of the Social Circle Bap tifwl example. Mrs. Adams was «• de rist church, always interested in ev¬ ery phase of Christian endeavor. In every sphere of life she was loyal and true, but it was in her home that these characteristics shotv* resplendent. Her love for her husband and children was surpassingly beautiful; tnd they crowned her with deepest devotion. In disposition she was kind and sympathetic; in manner, gentle tnd considerate; in affection, ardent and zealous; in character, honest and true. in the death of this good woman we realize that we haye sustained a very great loss, at tlie same acknowl¬ edging our debt of gratitude to our Heavenly Father for the benefit de¬ rived from asssoeiation with one whose Christian life and patient devo¬ tion to duty is an inspiration to us to so live as to reflect the life and teachings of him who loved us to the extent to become patient even unto death. The volume of her life is still open and unfinished, and her influence will stand when marble monuments have crumbled. We are deeply grieved over her going away, but feel that sl*e would have us say, “Not as I will, but as thou wilt.” A Friend. OLD ROCK CREEK NEWS Old Rock Creek, Ga..

There are many people who want music in their homes, but don’t know just what to buy or where to buy it.

So, if we would have the best character of music, we must buy the best BOOK. The best criterian to go by in getting a song book is one edited and published by a man who has a National reputation as a Gospel Singer and song wri¬ ter.
