Resolutions of Respect.
On Wednesday evening. Feb. 25, at
0:110 o'clock, the Messenger of Death
came to Dr. T. H. Thames and touched
his eyelids into sleep, and the sweet
spirit that, had tabernacled in that he
roic form broke its finite leash and
journeyed back over the uncharted sea
of mystery to the omnipotent One
who grave it—the Master or all human
destiny. “God moves in a mysterious
way !lis wonders to perform;” His
purposes and will are too fur-reaching
and profound to be understood by the
children of men. He doeth all things
well; therefore, we question not the
wisdom of this seemingly untimely
providence it is only for us to bow
meekly before the decree of the Father
and accept with becoming resignation
whatever is weighed in the scales of
His justice. Hut while we are submis
sive to the Master’s will, still we feel
that the liaraca Class of the First Bap
tist church has suffered an irreparable
loss in the passing of our beloved teuch-
er. For the past year he had made a
rich contribution of his talent and con
secrated efforts to the stability and
moral upbuilding of this class of young
men, who have keenly felt and appre
ciated the touch of his splendid tnllu-
ence. To this class his (treat, loving
heart went out with a peculiar fidelity.
He possessed to a remarkable degree
the rare faculty of interpretation, and
in the signal service ho rendered in
the capacity of teacher and counsellor
ho laid on the altar of sacred service
his strongest convictions, his uncom
promising loyalty to bibical truths and
philosophy, and from Sunday to Sunday
unfolded for the spiritual uplift of his
class those potent lessons couched in
Holy Writ. In the death of tins exem
plary man the members of the Barnea
Class of the First Baptist church feel
a distinct and personal loss. For us he
held aloft the illuminating torch of
truth, and his Sabbath morning lec
tures to his class were both practical
and inspirational, for this branch of his
work, like the oilier phases of his
blessed ministry, was characterized by
a desire to pluck a thistle and plant a
flower where lie thought a (lower would
grow. There was nothing small about
Dr. Thames. No petty jealousies or
narrow hatreds rankled in his heart,
for keen and strong was his vision of
the Saviour’s attitude. No cankerous
selfishness of prejudice was brooked in
his lofty soul, for he loved his fellow-
men. N'o unkind, unfriendly thoughts
were entertained in the palace of his
mind, for one of such large mental and
spiritual dimensions could not harbor
in his thought-life the menace of these
shadow-guests. His was the spirit of a
wholesome altruism, and the love that
was kindled on the altar of his heroic
nature radiated out to rich and poor
alike, and compassed with its mighty
passion every phase of our strange and
complex humanity. He lived to make
the world about him better, and in the
light of the New Commandment he
scattered seeds of kindness ami preach
ed the gospel of love and brotherhood
he pilgrimaged along the highway |
of the years. And as he lived he died,
bravo and unafraid. He faced the in
evitable calmly and philosophically,
with a serene faith and confidence in
the unerring wisdom and judgment of
the Divine King. Like the fading of a
summer’s day into the peaceful twi
light. hush, this tine disciple of the Man
of Gallilee, whose life-star was still
gleaming in the zenith of its usefulness
and beauty and power, obeyed the sum
mons uncomplainingly und entered,
(juulified and well equipped, into that
held of amplified service that stretches
far beyond the sunset hills. Conscious
of the great loss our Haraca Class has
sustained, and recognizing fully the
Htrong Christian qualities exemplified
in the life and ministry of our beloved
teacher, and knowing that he has
found his rich reward in that glorious
home beyond our mortal ken, it shall
be our purpose henceforth to emulate
his example and shape our lives in ac
cordance with the precepts he so zeal
ously sought to inculcate in the hearts
of the members of his class. Therefore,
be it resolved—
1. That we deBire to express to the
family of our beloved pastor and teach
er our heartfelt condolence in this their
dark hour of bereavement. May the
Great Comforter bo their guide und
their stay in this visitation of grief,
and the light of His countenance shine
upon them in the exalted realm of
peace.
2. That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the faintly of the deceased, and
a copy be given the city papers for
publication. D. W. Boone,

ing.
Whereas, Dr. T. B. Thames was one
of the main organizers of the Men’H

(tNewnan Branch W. C. T. U.
The March meeting of W. C. T. U.,
to celebrate the birthday of its national
leader, Mrs. Lillian Stevens, was held
at the home of Mrs. R. A. Field Mon
day afternoon. While none of us know
Mrs. Stevens personally, out president
reminded us we may have that pleasure
soon, as the National W. C. T. U. Con
vention meets in Atlanta in November,
and our entire membership should go.
Mrs. Stevens succeeded Frances E.
Willard as president of the national
organization in 1898. She is also vice-
president of the World’s W. C. T. U.,
und has presided over that body in
Europe and in America. That this or
ganization reports each year a gain in
membership of from 5,000 to 15,000,
and that its influence is more far-reach
ing than any other woman’s organiza
tion in the world, is due largely to the
adminstrative ability of the woman
who stands at the head of the white-
ribbon forces. This meeting is also
known as membership campaign week,
at which time extra efforts will be
made to enlist new members. Very
forceful papers were read—one by
Mrs. M. If. Thompson one the “Life
of Neal Dow,” a Maine pioneer pro
hibitionist; another by Mrs. J. L.
Barge, on the benefits derived from
reading the “Union Signal;” the third
by Mrs. R. A. Field, on "Why We Be
long to the W. C. T. U.”
Selections from the writings of Mrs.
Stevens were read at roll-call. A time
ly recitation, “Something to You,”
was effectively rendered by Miss Mary
Atkinson. Under the skillful touch of
Mrs. Thompson, beautiful music inter
spersed tne programme. Warnings
were given against laying the founda
tion of intemperance in the kitchen by
using wines and alcoholic flavorings in
cooking. A bright young matron, just
enrolled, asked how she could make
fruit-cake without alcoholics. Almost
everyone present began to give a re
cipe. Our hostess gave a demonstra
tion, showing alcoholic and non-alco
holic flavorings, and the superiority of
the latter.
Atlanta is the largest city in the
world with a total prohibition law.
During last year she gained the dis
tinction of leading all Southern cities in
bank clearings. While New Orleans
has twice the population of Atlanta,
Atlanta is ahead of New Orleans in
bank clearings. There are great gains
in postal receipts, railroad oarnings,
electric car companies, telephone cor
porations—all lines of business show
prosperity—and all achieved under the
alarm of the brewer, the distiller and
the saloon-keeper, who insisted that
prohibition would ruin our section.
Judge Nash Broyles says the records
show that crime has decreased since
the enactment of the prohibition law.
There were 2,000 fewer arrests in 1913
than in 1907, notwithstanding the great
increase in population since prohibition.
As goes Atlanta, so goes the State.
Drunkenness and crime go hand in hand
ns surely as the Siamese twins walked
together. Let the many tender-heart
ed women whose feelings were wrung
by the harrowing stories told at the in
vestigation of brutal treatment of help
less convicts, recently made public in
the daily papers, sit up and take notice,
and lay the axe to the root of the evil,
or else their sympathy is vain. The
bloody, beaten, sick and sore convicts
whose cancerous flesh was made to
bleed afresh with the lash because they
could not do the strenuous tasks of the
stout and able, were there on account
of whiskey.
Any woman who is unwilling to pay
one dollar a year, and a small share of
her time, to aid the cause of temper
ance needs her feelings harrowed, and
the woe pronounced on those who come
not to the help of the Lord against the
mighty. The self-denial of the sugges
tive pictures of one picture show a
month will more than pay dues to W.
C. T. U., and furnish time for work in
this important field. The harvest truly
is plenteous, but the laborers are few.
We have attained State-wide prohibi
tion;—now, ladies, if you wish the high
honor of aiding in bringing about na
tion-wide prohibition, the opportunity
is open. We have room for more
workers. W. C. T. U.

The Forty Year Test.
An article must have exceptional
merit to survive for a period of forty
years. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
was first offered to the public in 1872.
From a small beginning it has grown
in favor and popularity until it has
attained a world wide reputation.
You will find nothing better for a cough
or cold. Try it and you will understand
why it is a fovorite after a period of
more than forty years. It not only
gives relief—it cures. For sale by all
dealers.
Life seems to be a game of hide-and-
seek between the right opportunity and
the right man.
