Tiibuts of Respect,
Iii loving memory of my dear
departed friend, John D. Scott,
who came to his demise on 11th,
Inst , by being cruelly caught and
torn, in a cotton gin, in Conyers.
From our view-point, we would
at first, perhaps, say his was an
untimely death, upon a more ma¬
ture )'• d iction and consideration,
we are reminded that God is still
God. and that Ho is all power, all
know.-idge, a net all wise, and never
’■ muk s a mistake, but does all
things well, in the right way, at
t be right time, and *tis said of
. Him, iRedoes not permit a “spar
j ; row to fall to the ground without
His notice. > j That a noble and
. man h a9 fallen, all will ad

5 tamily were one of the cleverest
j and most accommodating it lias
j ever been my good fortune to
j know, and happy lot to possess as

hard indeed to fill, and in his fam

to his long rpward. I feel like J
have lost a friend whose rdace will
never be supplied, completely. In
short, I not only consider that he
was a good, clever, true friend, but
that he was as nearly a perfect
gentleman as it has ever been my
happy privilege to be associated
with.
To his sadly bereaved and
mourning ones, Mrs. Scott his de¬
voted wife, Miss Maud his loving
daughter, and John L. his noble
and dutiful son, I would offer
words of condolence and encour¬
agement . Firs‘t I cannot as some
might do, say weep not, and that
it is wrong to mourn over God's
providences, for I know you have
sufficient cause to weep and mourn
and I too, with you, mourn the
loss of my dear friend, and the one
nearest and dearest to your affec¬
tions, for if we are not badly mis¬
taken, he was a good husband and
father. I know that, that hus¬
band and father is so sadly missed
in that home.
We are told m Holy writ, that
“Jesus wept” at !he grave of His
dear friend and brother of “Mary
and Matha”, and He, the God or
the universe, was moved to woep¬
ing. why not we? But, notwith¬
standing all that, let us bo care¬
ful not to think that God has been
unjust, for let us remember that
he is God yet and makes no mis¬
takes, and we find it on record in
ITis word that all things work to¬
gether for good to them that love
the Lord, etc. Now if you really
love God, here is a precious prom¬
ise to you for good from God
Himself, L r it was penned under
the direct influence and guidance
of the Holy Spirit. At the same
time, it is hard for us, sometimes,
to reconcile ourselves to the will
>ff God, and we are told He ‘works
in a mysterious way, His wonders
to perlonP, and ‘His ways arc
past finding out’,
Finally, sad and mourning
ones, let me commend you to the
grace and loving care of our Lord
au d Savior, Jesus Christ, who
sticketh closer than a brother,
and will never fail us, or refuse
to give us succor in time of need
R we aro His indeed, for Christ’s
sake and go to Him in His ap
pointed way.
Please pardon this intrusion,
but I have written it, because I
felt called upon to do so. and to
give expression to my grief, and
sympathy for veu, the bereaved
ones of my dear friend, and ex
press my appreciation and grati
for past-favors and kiudnes

FROM A FRIEND.
The It following written letter explains J

“I learned i. Hays Sunda} ton, Oct. 8,19oij 1]J

of the sad death of Cora and If#

I h ave
since known that mere words can.
sweet not heal a know broken heart. Yet’tjJ
to that our frien^i
sympathize with us in our saj
troubles. Yc-s I know you all will
miss her but I feel that your i ta

is her eternal gam. She remindi
me of the song” :
• ‘Deal h is no more a frightful foe:
Since I with Christ shall reign,
With ;oy I leave this woild of woo;
For me to die is gam.
To darkness, doubts, and fears adieu,
Adieu, thou world so vain;
Then shall I know no more of you,
For me to die is gain.
No more shall Satan tempt my soul,
Corruption shall be slain;
And tides of pleasure o’er me roll;
For me to die is gain.
Ncr shall I Know a Father’s frown,
But ever with him reign;
And wear an everlasting crown;
For me to die is gain.
Sorrow for joy I shall exchange,
Forever freed from paiu,
And in the heavenly regions range;
For me to die is gain.
Fain would my raptured soul depart,
Nor longer here remain,
But dwell, dear Jesus, wherethouart;
For me to die is gain.”
i 4 How sweet and consoling it is
to know that her “sorrows for joy
is exchanged and she is freed from
pain,” for no one knows what she
suffered. She was a dear, good
gill and one whom we all loved.
Each and every one of our fam¬
ily join me in love and sympathy
to yon.
Your true friend,
