ing, pastors and congregations of
the other churches all uniting with
the Baptists io holding a service in
memory of their late pastor, Rev.
Washington L Kilpatrick, D. I).
The services were conducted by
Deacon E H. Callaway, who after
reading the 90th Psalm made a
brief talk in opening the services.
Interesting and appropriate music
was furnished by the Baptist choir
aided by the members obthe Metho
dist choir. Rey. T. D. Cartledge of
t he Presbyterian church, Rev. W. F.
Smith of the Methodist church and
Deacon W. L. Mims of the Baptist
church. Each made appropriate,
entertaining and instructive talks
upon the life, character and influ
ence of this great ami good man.
Hon. Jno. J. Jones of the Metho
dist church was a coteraporary of
Dr. Kilpatrick. They were close
relatives and life long friends, and
his remarks were delivered with
much feeling and produced consid
erable manifestations of
among the members of the
gation. He said:
Col. Jon s’ Remarks.
I cannot let this occcasion pass
without adding a word — a word hv
way of humble tribute to the mem
ory of our deceased brother.
Mr. Kilpatrick was born in Burke.
Ho lived here a good while but the
greater part of his life has been
spent in the county of Richmond.
Though a citizen of Richmond
county, yet all his bfe, he has been
more or less identified with Burke

the Great I Am. He went forth
as the anointed of the Lord; and
as to the manner of discharging the
sacred trust, his after life will show.
In his early ministry his sermons
were more like lectures than regu

however, he enlarged, expanded
and developed into a first-class
preacher, and for th^ last 20 years years ago He removed from your

But my friends, this sad affliction
means more than this. Cromwell,

congre-
hearers.
I had the pleasure and satisfac
tion of hearing his last sermon on
earth and it was in this house. His
text was: “And as he (Paul) rea
soned of righteousness, temperance
and judgment io come—Felix
trembled and answered, ‘go thy
way this time, when I have a
coiiv. -Gent season, I will call thee.’”
And -uch a sermon, I have not

that nigh* ;o ho inspired of the Holy
Ghost He preach? d with power,
earnestness and demo- --.ration of
the Spirit. At this v- ry hour, I can
hear his earnest, solemn appeals
ringing in my ears. I can hear him
chosen a shining mark He has this
time stricken down your beloved
pastor, the shepherd of your flock,
whom you loved dearly and to
whom you looked for guidance and
support. Truly, oh God! a king, a
prince in Israel has fallen; and we
this day are bowed down iii sorrow,
in sack cloth and aGies bewailing
his loss. On God! give us grace to
submit to Thy heavenly and divine
will. Enable us ail to say, Thy will
be done and not ours. Enable us all
to feet and say—“that what is our
loss Is his eternal gain ”
A word more and I am done.
The ways of Providence are myste
rious and past finding out. But, my
the great Ironside, was accustomed
to raise the shout of “to your tents,
Oh Isreal.” But my friends, this sad
affliction means “to your knees Oh
Isreal.” It means that every mem
ber of this church and professor of
religion in this town should pros
trate themselves upon their knees
before God in humble penitence
and as it were with a lighted candle,
search their hearts and see whether
they and each of us are prepared-
ready to meet our God in peace, j
Kilpatrick the good shepherd has |
been called home and he was ready I
for the translation He could exait-1
irigly say with Paul: “I have fought 1
a good fight, I have finished m/'
merely a pastor of our people but
he \va3 a close friend, a wise coun
sellor and a relady sympathizer with
each of his members. Apprecia
ting as we do his many virtues, and
his great devotion to us and
our church wo deem it not inap-
propiate to express at thi3 time in
some small measure, Gur feeiing of
loss in his death, our estimate of
his worth in life and our devotion
to his memory, therefore,
Resolved, 1, That we bow suh-

That the death of Dr. Kilpatrick
leaves a vacancy that it will lie
difficult to fill. That the loss falls
alike upon the community at large

upon ail agencies and enterprises
wilhin the fields of his labors which
had for their object the ennobiin
and elevating of human character
and human lives towards a christai
standard.
Resolved, 2d, That we treasure h
friendship among the pleasantest
associations of our lives and while
we grieve at his taking away
will each endeavor to draw inspira
tion from his life and to emulate
his active and jealous labor in the
Master’s cause.

for a convenient season, trust to no
such delusive hope. Now, now, is
the accepted time, now is the day
of salvation.” Such were his ap
peals that night. I pray God that
this—his last sermon —last message
flic!ion—the loss of your pastor—
means something to this church; it
means something to all of us pro
fessing Christians. It means that
you as a church and the other pro
fessors of religion in this town, in
stead of being discouraged at the
was
course, henceforth there is laid up j sympathies to his bereaved family
for me a crown of righteousness at! whose loss is greater than ours, and

of life an-J the certainty of death.
It means to remind us, that we too

Mr. Kilpatrick was fortunate in
having the advantages of an aca

advantages well. He graduated at
Mercer University with the first
honors of the institution.
While as a matter of fact he was
ordained a minister of the gospel
just before or just after his gradua-
tion—yet he spent a good portion of
his earlv manhood in teaching
school. He was eminently fitted
for this work. This seemed to he

the discharge of what he considered
his duty.
Whilst he was a strict Baptist in
faith and principle, yet I knew him
well enough to know that there was
no bigotry or seclusiveness in his
sou!. He was generous, catholic
and liberal to all Christian denom
inations. His heart was big enough
to take in the whole Christian
world. He was ready-at any and aii

loss of such a man is irreparable to

Consider him as a friend, husband,
parent, citizen, as an humble follow

Baptist church with their major-

to take from us our beloved pastor,
Rev. W. L Kilpatrick, who departed
this life on the 84 day of August,
1896. His relatives with their
church and its membership were
especially close. He organized the
church more than 16 years ago and
has been its only pastor. It was
largely due to hispersonal effort and
financial aid that our church build
ing was erected and during ail
these years he has spenl his best
effort and energies in trying to
build up this church make it a pow
er in this community for the
Master’s cause. His last pastoral
work was with this people and in
this house. And his desire for a
genuine revival of grace among
Christian people was never more
manffested by anxious countenance
and earnist words than when he
last stood before this congregation:
and it was at the begimng of a
contemplated series of meetings
with us that he was stricken with
the fatal malady w'hich so speedily
carried him away. He was not
