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, Lynch Turner, W. L. Strieker, Members of Bnraca Class, First Baptist church, Newnan, Ga. Resolutions by Men's Prayer Meet ing. Whereas, Dr. T. B. Thames was one of the main organizers of the Men’H I’rayer Meeting in Newnan in 1911, and had alwuys been one of its most ardent friends and sympathizers in its efforts, growth and works, and always active in his advice, counsel, prayers and co operation; ami Whereas, our Heavenly Father, in His infinite wisdom, has called Dr. Thames from his earthly ministry to the home above prepared for His saints. Therefore, be it — Resolved by the Men’s I’rayer Meet ing, That while we bow in humble sub mission to the will of the Almighty God. we deeply mourn the loss of this great, good and brilliant man and con secrated minister; and we will nti -s his interest, assistance and advice in the work among the men of our community. Resolved further. That we extend to his wife and family our tender and pro found sympathy in their great bereave ment and irreparable loss.

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.
