A Christian Mother Called
To Her Heavenly Home
On January 19th Mrs. Lou C.
Edwards heard the voice of her
Heavenly Father calling to her to
come up higher. She'obeyed the
call and passed up higher to take
possession of'her mansion beyond
the sky.
Mrs. Log C. Edwards was born
February the‘ 2 ist, 1848. Shelwas
married to T. G. Edwards on Feb.
24. 1S67, She joined the Method¬
ist church at Chattahoochee some
time prior tojher marriage.
She leaves, to mourn her loss,
five children, two boys and three
girls, Col. C. H. Edwards, George
Edwards, Mrs. Ollie Freeman,Mrs.
Anna Wheeler and Mrs. Mary
Glass—Mrs. Gussie Barrett having
preceded her mother sn 1914—and
a host of relatives and friends,
Mrs. Edwards was a woman
whom all who knew her loved her
It was said of her that she was
never known to speak evil of any¬
one. She liged a true consistent
Christian life to the time of her
passing to a new life around the
throne of her Master.
To the ones bereaved we would
say that mother is not dead, but
has passed from death unto the
true life.
The patient, cheery voice of
mother will never again be heard
in the home, yet the lessons'of her
successful Christian life, and the
virtues and many womanly qualit¬
ies of character that she exhibited,
will not be forgotten, but will live
in the minds and hearts of her
loved ones, and will be a guiding
s-.arTbat will lead them to assemble
around her beyond the blue. Your
truest friend hrs passed from sight
and presence, but with the mind’s
eye she can see leaning over the
battlements of heaven, beckoning
to each of her loved ones to follow
her, and at the end of their short
stay on earth to join her in that
land beybnd the blue.
Though tlie last years 0/ her life
on earth were filled with physical
suffering, she was ever comforted
by her close relationship with her
Master, and waited patiently for
His call to come up higher.
The memory of mother, like the
perfume of priceless roses,will ever
linger in the heart and minds of her
children, and not only her loved
ones, but eacli and every one that
knew her. Her godly life will ever
be an incentive for living a purer
life to all who kttew her, and was
forrunate enough to learn of her.
Her life is indeliibly imprinted
upon the sands of time, and will
be viewed by all that pass, and
will be an inspiration tojtliose who
are endeavoring to follow in the
footsteps of the Master.
Bereaved ones, think not of
mother as dead, but as one who
has passed from vicissitudes of
trials and cares of this life to the
glory of the perfect life in sweet
communion with thejMaster in that
realm beyond the sky. Ever re¬
membering her council and teach¬
ing, and her desire that you join
your mother, father and sister who
have preceded you into possession
of the home that has been prepared
for you and the family by the
Master in His kingdom beyond.

Insurance For Every Fighter.
The Treasury Department b
making every effort to have every
member of America’s fighting
forces take advantage of the Gov¬
ernment-Insurance plan, which
Secretary McAdoo asserts to be
“the most just and humane . pro¬
vision ever made by any nation for
its soldiers and sailors.”
The purpose is rapidly being
achieved, the insurance having
passed the third billion mark in
the total of policies written, and
there are many military units in
which every member has taken in¬
surance.
The automatic insurance provid¬
ed by the law is only partial and
limited protection, payable only to
wife, child, or widowed mother
and ceases after February 12, 1918
It is important, therefore, not only
to the soldiers and sailors of the
country but to their famlies and
dependents, that before that date
they avail themselves of the fui
Government protection, which can
go as high as .$10,000 and is pay¬
able to a wife, husband, child,
grandchild, parent, brother, or
sister.
The law also provides for the
reeducation and rehabilitation of
the totally disabled and monthly
compensation to those disabled.
