A feeling of gratitude is life’s best
brace. Times might be worse. And
a man often has good reasons for being
thankful for he don’t get. Bodily needs
may be cheerfully borne if sickness
and death and mental sorrow passes
by the home.
A successful business man and a suc
cessful politician must keep prominent'
ly before the public. Better be abused
than to be ignored. In this day of
cheap printing and universal newspaper
reading if a man’s name seldom or nev
er appears in the public prints he is too
obscure to receive much attention
Hence, even preachers recognize the
fact that to command attention qnd get
on an extensive plane of usefulness
they must depend largely upon news
papers tor the fame that gives them a
o-lad hearing. The farmer can better
leave fertilizers out of his crops than
the politician can leave his name out
of the newspapers.
There is a difference in men :
Capt. X has a high standard of rec
titude, with the Bible for his guide—
He scorns policy and opposes all kinds
of compromise. He is a sharp critic
of morals and manners and is impatient
with ignorance. He believes in agita
tion thinks discussion brings Truth to
light. He is a man of strong convic
tions and never wavers in the belief
that he. is on the right side ot every
question. He, howeyer, believes in
organization and when ids church or
party acts he co-operates with a view,
if possible, to save them from further
blundering. He does well if he escapes
unimportant issues with his friends.
Captain Z is an affable, pleasant
gentleman, cordial in his manners and
dignified in his bearing. He pays bills
promptly without scanning the items,
helps the unfortunate, signs petitions,
goes on bonds, never says, “no”; ad
vises you to do just what you want to
do, if he catches the trend of your in
clination. Always agreeable; he smi
lingly declines wordy contentions, hold
ing in reserve his opinion on the sub
ject sought to be discussed and when
the time tor action arrives carries into
execution his individual views, and
smiles serenely when men swear that
ia willfulness he out-Herod’s Herod.
think of the past, the face of a noble
little lad comes before me, and as the
years pass in review, I see the lad a
young man. Again I look and I see his
matchless form in the still proportions
of death.
Charles J. Brown was born at Meri
wether, Jan. 6th, 1877, and died in the
old family home, Oct. 15, 1898, after
an illness of a few weeks. He was the
youngest son ot Ldmon Z. Brown and
his wife, Elizabeth Harper Brown.
I’ve known Charlie Brown all his life,
as his nearest neighbor. I’ve had op
portunities of knowing him intimately.
Times without number he has found
his way to my office, and lingered for
a chat, and it was in these talks l
learned to know and love this most
lovable young man. Sympathetic and
gentlemanly he often revealed his inner
nature to me. I do not remember to
night that I ever heard him speak un
kindly of any one; I can remember
many, many kind things he has said
and done. He was not faultless, and
felt keenly any slight. He had his
opinion ot people as they had of him,
and yet I do not remember that he
ever spoke ill of any one. I remember
a favorite expression of his, when he
could not reconcile their ways with his,
“Well it must be their way.”
When he became a Christian I do not
know, but years ago I discovered in
talking with him an earnest desire for
a higher life. In a ride to old Bethel
church I gave him a little flower, he
pinned it on his coat and remarked:
“Was not God good to flood the whole
earth with flowers, so the poor could
enjoy them as well as the rich.” He
loved flowers, passionately, and made
his home very beautiful by cultivating
numbers of them.
We frequently studied our Sunday
School and Missionary lesson together,
and how interested he was in any scrap
of information I might give him. His
elder brother, Col. A, S. Brown, mar
rying and moving away, Charlie be
came the stay and prop of his invalid
parents, and tlio’ but a boy, he tried to
fill a man’s place. He was a faithful
and obedient son. He, during a revival
at Bethel a year ago, found God very
precious to his soul, and took up the
duties imposed upon him by his church
•heerfully. He held family prayer, and
showed by his daily walk that he was
living near his God.
He was married to Miss Fleda Pound
March 14th, 1898, by Rev. Brannen
and found a loving helpmate in his de
voted young wife
He brought his bride to Meriwether
and was received cordialy by his brother,
who wished him to share his home. He
however, went to his parents and began
to labor faithfully to prepare a home of
his own for his wife. Unaccustomed to
toil he did not guard his health as he
should and the dread and fatal disease
Typhoid fever fastened its fangs upon
his enfeebled physique, e’er he knew
its approach. All that a devoted fath
er, mother, brother, wife and loving
relatives, friends and physicians could
do was of no avail. He steadily grew
weaker, and when lie realized his con
dition he began to settle his earthly af
fairs, sending messages to friends, etc.;
he anxiously desired to renew his vows
to his church and said to his wife,
“We must go to church and live nearer
God.” He was concerned for his soul
and cried unto his Heavenly Father
who always comes at the cries of His
children. In the strength of God he
rested, overcoming temptations and
weakness, and God’s love filled his
heart and he said, “I love everybody.”
What unutterable jpy is his today,
his Lord holds his' hands and leads
him away among rejoicing angels and
whispers to him “To him that over-
cometli I shall give a crown of right
eousness.” He was sick but a tew
weeks and it is so hard to realize his
bright form will come no more or his
joyous step re-echo among us. Uni
versally beloved, many hearts are bleed
ing at his departure and yet why should
we grieve, we feel that be is in heaven
where “all is love.” May the spirit of
God comfort the aching hearts of his
stricken parents and beloved lonely
brother, who loved him so much. May
God sustain the little girl wife, whose
bright dreams are so shadowed and
dark, and tho’ we bow in humble sub
mission to our Father’s will, we miss
you surely dear friend. His funeral
was preached at his father’s residence
by his pastor, Dr. Lowery. His re
mains were followed by a large con
course of relatives and friends, to his
last resting place in the cemetery at
Miliedgeville, where all that is earthly
of his two sisters sleep.
Rev. Walter II, Branham laid
him to rest in the presence of a
large number of Miliedgeville friends,
who united with Meriwether in this last
tribute ot love and respect.
May his loved ones meet him.
Good night, dear young friend. We
feel that you have gone from the chill
and loneliness of this life to the bosom
of your Heavenly Father, and that
sweeter things than this world could
offer are yeurs, for in your *orr*w you

In Memory of nr. John W. Hubbard.
Only and devoted son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. H. Hubbard died Friday,
Nov. 4th, 1898. He was a loving son,
and brother, and a friend to every one.
Sleep on, beloved one, and take thy
rest, this world was not for thee any
longer, to bear the troubles' and trials
some have borne. *
’Tis hard to give up dear friends and
loved ones. But aid he himself not
say lie was ready to go? and that he
was going to a much better world?
Yes; ’tis hard to give him up. He
was ill only three weeks, but sick five
weeks before he gave up to his bed.
Loved ones, grieve not, for he is at rest,
and done with this sinful world and its
temptations, and could you be so selfish
as to want to call him back, when you
know he is happy and gone before to
wait for his loved ones who are yet to
go?
Yes; I know he is at rest. He was
a noble young man, just in the prime of
youth, had many friends, and loved by
all. He often remarked to me that lie
had no ill feeling toward any one, and
that he tried to be a Christian, as I
know he was.
Mother, grieve not, your boy is
the Home not built by human hands;
father, think that your boy is happy
and waiting for you; sisters, how happy
your loving brother will be it you will
try and meet him in his Home beyond
the skies. Did he not tell you that his
home was in Heaven?
He often spoke to me of his favorite
song:
“Shall we gather at the river
Where bright angel feet hare trod,
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
On the margin ot the river,
Washing up its silver spray;
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day.
Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we ev’ry burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.
At the smiling of the river,
Mirror of the Savior’s face,
Saints whom death will never sever,
Lift their songs of saving grace,
Soon we’U reach the silver river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease,
Soon our happy hearts will quiver,
With the melody of peace.
Yes, we’il gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river,
Gather with the saints at the river,
That flows by the Throne of God.
May we all meet at the river that he
loved to sing about. He suffered three
weeks, but with patience. Oh ! could
all of the young men say that they
were ready.
After the pain of sickness,
The tears are all wiped away;
After the flowers are gathered,
No more of earth’s decay.
After the deep heart sorrow,
An end of every strife;
After the daily crosses,
A glorious crown of life.
May a copy of this be sent to the
grieved parents.
