“And I heard a voice from
heaven saying^unto me, { ‘Write,
Blessed are the dead which die in
Lord from henceforth; Ya, saith
the spirit, that they may rest
from their labors; and their works
do follow them.”
The subject of this sketch
dwelt with us for a number of
years; we.knew and loved him
well. We saw and felt the part
ing must come; we knew he would
say good-bye sometime. He has
gone home and great was the joy
in heaven.
He was preparing, for his jour
ney many days, and was careful,
very careful in setting his house
in order; he was ever busy be-
queathiug his legacies of instruc
tion and fatherly blessing; always
persuasive, urgent and earnest, he
set forth the old but ever new
story of redemption.
He was a faithful steward who
threw wide the door of mercy and
pointed alternately to Calvary
and Sinai. ,
Year after year with steadfast
purpose, unswerving fidelity and
joyous anticipation,he made prep
aration for the home going, and
on Friday January 10th, he said,
good-bye—and just as the sun
went down and the evening stars
came out he heard one clear call
and he put out to sea. The flood
has borne him outward and up
ward, for he met his “Pilot face
to face when he crossed the bar.”
Gentle, quiet, unassuming, he
walked daily the pathway of life,
ever mounting higher and" higher
until he stood upon the high plain
of Christian experince,from which
height God called him home.
His journey through this abid
ing place was marked with sorrow
as well as joy. His warm loving
nature responded generously to
the call of suffering humanity,
and like his Lord, he went about
doing good.
“The world was his parish and
every man his brother.”
His obedience to the demands
of conscience and the teachings of
the holy book were the great prin
ciples of his life. Faith was the
key note that lifted his soul up
into the rapturous melody of re
demption’s glad song.
The purity of his life was known
and felt by his daily walk and
conversation; he never lost an op
portunity to comfort, to say some
thing for his blessed Christ. How
he longed for others |to know
the joy of salvation, the upbuild
ing of Zion and the peace that
passeth understanding.
Many will miss the Christain
friend who went from home to
home on his mission of love, and
only eternity will reveal the good
he has done. He planted pre
cious seed along his journey and
labored faithfully in the Master’s
vineyard, but now he is at rest
and his works do follow him.
He has gone to the beautiful
home of the soul, the home he
loved to read, sing and talk about.
The home close by the Jasper sea,
whose light is the shekinah of
God, whose music is the song of
the .redeemed and whose air is
sweetened with the perfume of
heavenly incense. There with the
loved and saved he “dwells in the
house not made with hands eter
nal in the heavens.”
It was only a good night that
he said—just a little while and
he will bid us good morning on
the heavenly Borand. S. F. T,
On Friday night, Jan. 81st, an
oyster supper for the benefit of a
library will be given at the,- Ben
Hill school building. Other re
freshments will be served, and
everybody is cordially invited to
attend. We trust the- smiling
face of the Editor and other
Houston people will greet jus.
The object of this entertain
ment is to push the establishment
of a library in our school. The
two great worlds that should be
opened to the child rHiich ho
should learn to. love and live in
with inareasing joy, are the world
nature and the world of books. In
Houston not one child in a hun
dred has access even to a small li
brary. The child learns to read,
but that is about all for the world
of history, biography, travel, of
story and song, remain as yet a
barren country. The children
must needs grow up into lives of
narrowness and selfishness with
out noble desires when their eyes
are blinded and hands are folded
by disuse to the beauties of na
ture and to the riches she has in
stole for those who love her. No
teacher or community can afford
to deprive the children of books.
It robs them of their just rights.
LetJeveryjteuohei'Jbe up and doing,
assisting one another ;$ and they
can make the school not only the
center of the social and intellec
tual life, of the community, but
can inspire nobler and grander
ideals of the mind and heart.
» Our school is progressing nicely
and we don’t intend to let it die.
It received its name from one of
the noblest men that Georgia ever
afforded, and we hope to send
forth just such men. Aid us by
lending yoor presence at the oys
ter supper and by bringing others
with you. j. D. Renfroe.
