Baby Flanders.
Editor Advance :—Please
me space in your columns to
expression of appreciation to
good people of Ashburn for
extended sympathy and love
the hours of deepest sorrow that
have ever come upon us. Many
have appreciated our great
tions, and by their presence and
sweet words of cheer and consola¬
tion have comforted us. To then)
we extend the hand of personal
appreciation and the gratitude of
our hearts; hut to Mrs. T. A.
Judge, Mrs. J.AV. Evans and I)r.
Gardner we especially owe a
debt of lasting gratitude for their
presence, thoughtful kindness
and continuous efforts to relieve
the sufferings of our precious
baby until the Angel of Mercy
wafted him to his home in heaven.
May God abundantly bless the
good people of Ashburn. To them
we are grateful for Christian sym¬
pathy *id love shown us.
Yours in the faith,
J. C. Ft.ANDERS.

In that villa among tho hills
Whore th« Streams of Death ever flow,
Midst tho murmering of the breezes
Comes the cry of deepest woe.
Death was striding through the valleys;
Death was striding througn the ail;
Death was striding through old Kmroy:
Death was very busy there.
The subject of this sketch was
a man of sterling qualities; one
whose name will ever live on the
bright tablets of my memory, and
will ever he the most brilliant
link in the golden chain that hinds
the future to the past. That bright
young man of some twenty-seven
summers, who, with his sunny
smiles and ready advice—with
such sweet disposition, ever ready
to do good—so patient and self-
sacrificing, has passed away. His
was indeed the true type of a no¬
ble Christian life.
When quite young he gave his
heart to God; and ever after with
the exception of a short poriod of
time, (of which lie spoke to the
writer with much regret,) lived a
consistent Christian life.
His first consideration, was, to
promote the spiritual welfare and
happiness of others—being ever
ready to scatter seeds of love and
kindness, and to perform deads
of self-denials. If for a good rea¬
son an anticipation was given up,
it was cheerfully done. If disap-
pointments of a most trying orde-
al ever confronted him, he accep-
ted the situation without mur-
mer or complaint. His life, as a
davoted Christian—a consecrated
child of God—is worthy of the
emulation of all men. He has in-
deed left a heritage to his friends
and associates which is far uioie
valuable than the gold of the west
or the diamonds of the east.
It is but human, bower, for us
to grieve, but we mourn not with-
out hope, not for one that is lost,
Ah, no! he has been called from
these scenes of sadness and dis-
appointments to better, brighter,
and more perfect realms.
Then let us look up with a
steadfast hope-having our wills
lost entirely in Him, the giver of
all that is good, true and pure—
even following the lights which
he left burning so brightly along
the shore—lights that will ever
send a gleam across the wave; and
some sweet day we shall strike
hands with him as our feet step
upon the golden streets of that ce-
lestial city.
‘‘Oh. those beautiful, beautiful hands!
I shall clasp them again once more,
As my feet touch tho banks of the heavenly
lan(1
we shall meet on that beautiful shore."

There is no getting around it:
Christmas is nearly here, The
persimmons have wrinkled up in
the wind and candy is running
out of them. Hogs are squeeling
as they trot, possums are fat and
niggers have dug their ’tatoes and
laid ’em out in the sun to sweeten
up. Hens are laying higher eggs
and small buys are blowing in
their money for tin horns and
then blowing in the horns. Old
soaks are ordering jugs of little
songs to feel up for the ground.
The tax collector has been his last
round and the-bailiff put to work.
Yes, Christmas it nearly here.

AL OTHERS SEE-IT,
The newspaper controversy be¬
tween Revs. H. Stubbs and J, J.
Williams dropped at a point that
was not satisfactory to the public.
Rev. Stubbs said Rev. Williams
left the Methodist church under
charges and would have been han¬
dled if he staid in. Rev. Wil¬
liams said it was not so as the fol¬
lowing certilicate would show.
Then he produced a writ in I lit*
Holiness Advocate from the
Methodist church at Ty Tv to the
effect that brother Williams was
a member in good standing and in
full fellowship with the church.
Such a certificate was in exis-
tance, hut the preacher in charge
laid himself liable to the church
laAs when he issued it. He said
he issued it because he thought
that was the easiest way to get
rid of Bro. Williams. The proof
that Rev. Williams did leave the
Methodist church under charges
remains on the minutes and can
he proven by every official mem¬
ber of the Ty Ty church. Rev.
Stubbs produced these facts and
sent them to the Holiness Advo¬
cate for publication to prove his
veracity. The editor of the lloli-
ness Advocate turned the article
down because it would reflect oil
Bro. Williams, contending that
Bro. Williams was as true to God
as the needle was to the north
pole. Stubbs allowed the matter
to drop, depending on Providence
to bring out the fact. It weighed
so heavy on Rev. Williams’ mind
that he seated himself and drop¬
ped Rev. Stubbs the following
few lines:
Tv Tv, Ga., Nov., 10, 1897. Rev.
H. Stubbs, 1*. E., Ochloclmee.
Dear Brother:—The Lord bless
you is my prayer, 1 am ashamed,
and heartily sorry for the. way 1
have treated you by back-biting
you. and publishing that little ar¬
ticle in the Holiness Advocate
against you, and in reply to you.
It was unkind, unholy and un-
Olirist-like. The Lord has forgiv¬
en me, and I ask you, please, in
Jesus’ name, to forgive me, and
pray God that I may never fall
into that sin again, I know I am
not worthy of your Christian love
and confidence, and shan’t think
hard if you don’t forgive me; for
1 know I don’t deserve it. But 1
do want to live right with God and
all mankind, and gain heaven at
last. Yours unworthily,
J. J. AVTu.iams.
Kev. Stubbs accepted the apol-
ogy and commended Rev. Wil-
Hams for his manly confession,
' H.ir several weeks Rev. Wil-
Hams has been in a state of mind
unexplainable by his brethren,
and Have made several public
confession touching a shotage in
His aecoount with the Recording
Angel. He is president of the
holiness association, and they are
^(iking to him for better things.
Since his confession of imholiness,
others who have been loud m
their shouts of sanctification from
the housetop have expressed a
dissatisfaction of their experience,
It cannot be said that the Holl¬
ness church of this community
w in a very flourishing condition,
it is having troubles of its own
and its prospects are not as bright
as the morning star. They have
drawn about all they can from
the other churches—proselyted, it
you please-and are now on their
<>"» resources. The racket of so
much holiness hereabouts is over,
One can easily observe that those
professing the faith are simmer-
in*r down from the highway shouts
<)i it t() tllO actual lilt? of it
gee jf. You cull no\V go down
. red , flannel , , without . .
town in a
having the d list pawed iij) around
V0I1 over w } )a t you wear, and you
can pass several blocks without
being asked if you have ever been
converted.
There has been enough of pre¬
varication in Ashburn about re¬
ligion to make ten tons of soap if
it was converted into potash.
Some thought they had it when
it was liver complaint. Some felt
called upon to preaeli and could
not say a word until they got a
sinner where he had to submit to
the emharrasment of being ex¬
horted or prayed over on the high¬
way or tel! a fib about being a
Christian. Sinners learned long
ago that the quickest way out of
the argument was to tell them
that they had been converted and
were on the road to high heaven,
healed and kept by the faith, glo¬
ry halleluiah, when there was not
a word of it true.
We are not fighting holines,
I but we do oppose some of
