Deacon Jackson was a Georgia negro.
I He had lived suen an upright life that
| he had won friends among all classes of
) people. Both white and colored had
Uhe profoundest lespect for him. He
was known by all as the ‘'Deacon.”
He was industrious, honorable, honest
and true. He respected all people, was
charitable, kind and a gent.Ieman in his
dealings with others. As a member of
the community he wa3 loved for his
worth, and respected for his virtues.
He was a good citizen, a faithful friend
and a great moral and religious force in
the Baptist church, and for years had
been a deacon. He did more for the
upbuilding of his own peoole than any
pastor that they had ever employed to
preach for them
The deacon reached a ripe old age
and mads the world brighter by living
in it. When he died there was sadne s
in all hearts. His own people wepc and
his neighbors and friends felt that they
had suffered a great loss. It is not of
ten that anv man reaches a higher
character for all that is best in life
than peacon Jackson did.
The funeral services were held in the
colored Baptist chur h to which he im
longed. Here his voice had

to be a free meeting for all to speak a

The deacon had many friends among
us and so far as I know not a .ingle
enemy,”
Many boro testimony to his worth,
to his faithfulness and integrity. Many
of h'.s white friends stood up and in
broken words spoke of his virtues.
They expressed themselves feelingly
about the great loss to the community
that all felt in the death of Deacon
Jackaon.
Finally the young pastor come to his
part in the exercises. He gave a brief
hist-r/ of ihe Decon’s life and servj
Ices, his consecration to duty, his loy
alty to his church, his faithfulness as
a deacon and his hope as a Christian.
When this part of his duty had been
performed, he stopped and stood silent
for • while. He did not seem to know
how to complete what he wanted to
say. Then, lifting his face. Ailed with
a rreat emotion, towards the congre
gation, said:
“Yes, the deacon is dead. Deacon
Jackson is dead. He will walk among

ana majesty in his move-
j ment. Behind Him came Death, trem-
j bling with fear. When Ho got close
to the bed, He said, ‘Deacon, I have ’
seen your good deeds and witnessed i
your suffering and your victory. I've
come for you.' All right. Blessed Mas
ter. I am ready to go.’ Then, turn
ing to Death, He said, ‘Come up here, I
i Death, close to the deacon's side You I
j must carry the deacon home.' Death
stopped and trembled as he stood.
‘Come up close, I say. You must take
the deacon to tne Gates of Pearl. Nmv,
Jeucon, here are your orders. Death is
to take you to the Gates of Pearl and to
jour heavenly home.’ He placed the
orders in the deacon's hands said.
‘Death, carry the deacon according to
the orders.'
Death started on his errand. They
p issed out of the deacon's home. They
wept oayond the trees and the moun
tains an 1 the cloids. Then death stop
ped, and said, ‘Deacon, is this not far
enough?’ The deacon asked, ‘What do
the orders say?’ Then, looking at his
orders, aaid. 'There oiders say to the
Cates of Pearl. We are not there ve'.
Go on’ Rising higher still, until sun and
moon were passed. Death halted again.
‘Deacon, is this not far enough?' ‘What
do the orders say? They say to the
Gates of Pearl, We ate not there yet.
Go on.’
"Then rising higher yet, until they
were beyond the Milkv Way and shin
ing constellations and burning suns,
Death halted again. ‘Deacon, haven’t
we gone far enough?’, The deacon
looked at his orders once inure and said,
‘The orders say to the Gates of Pearl.
W’e are not there. Goon.’ On he went
until by and bye a strange light began
to play about the deacon's face, a light
from some far off country, some liisiant
glory. After a liitle while a soft,
sweet music began to be hearJ. The
deacon smiled as he listened. Then it
giew louder and sweeter moment by
moment. It was a heavenly song. The
deacon said softly, '1 must be nearly
home.' Then there broke on his view
the walls of the eitv, then a great con
course of the redeemed that no man c.n
number, and then the Gales of Pearl.
The deacon looked at Death and said,
‘The orders have been obeyed. You
h ive brought me to the Gates of Pearl.
Farewell.’
‘About that time the Gates of Pearl
s.vung wide open, the light shined with
a splendor the deacon had never dream-
“ l of in his life, the angels sang, and
before he could think he joined in the
song of the redeemed, passed through
the gates intojthe city, home forever.”
The pastor could say no more. The
congregation could bear no more. Ten
derly they took the casket from its
rcsting'place. They carried it to the op
en grave in the churchyard, where was
said, ‘‘From earth to earth and dust to
