SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, FEBRUARY 17, 1888.
Obituary.
Died at Kilgo, Gregg county,
Texas, Jan. 14th, 1888, Mrs. Mary
Henderson, in the 93rd year of her
age. She was the widow of W. B.
Henderson who resided at the place
in Broomtown Valley known as the
Henderson Gap on Lookout moun
tain.
Mr. Henderson and family re
moved from South Carolina and
settled in Broomtown Valley in the
year 1833, when the country was
in a wild and unsettled state. He
had to contend with privations,
hardships, and difficulties known
only to the pioneer, yet in the prov
idence of a covenant keeping God
he lived to see t he morals of society
wonderfully improved, churches
erected to the worship of God,
schools established for the training
of the young.
Ami I ail the privations incident
to the early settler Mr. Henderson
eve ' trusted t’> the promises of that
Goff who both said 1 will he a God to
thee and thine; I will never leave
thee nor forsake th" 1 . llimwlf and
wife were among those who first
organized Alpine Presbyterian
church, in this county. They, with
others who have long since been
gathered to the saints final res'.,, viz :
Capt. Knox and wife, Robert B >ll.
Hugh Knox and wife, with many
others, not now remembered by the
writer, under the ministry of Rev.
A. Y. Lockbridge whose name was
once almost a household word in
Chattooga county, organized and
built Alpine church. Mr. Hender
son live! to see his sons an I daugh
ters arrive at man and womanhood,
and to the rejoicing of his heart,
embrace the religion of Jesus Christ.
He died in May, 1863, and like Si
meon of old could say, ‘-Lord now
let thou thy servant depart in peace
for mine eyes have seen thy salva
tion.”
Mrs. Mary Henderson was born
in South Carolina in 1795 ; married
W. B. Henderson in 1816. Her
maiden name was Barry, sister of
Dr. and Charlie Barry of Atlanta,
Ga. She joined the Presbyterian
church about the time of her mar
riage in which communion she re
mained a most consistant and devo
ted Christian up to the time of her
death. After the death of her hus
band she remained on the old home
stead till 1870, when at the instance
of her children who had gone and
were going to Texas, she removed
to that state, and upon her arrival
there her first thought was the or- j
ganization of a Presbyterian church ■
at Longview to which she gave the j
name of Alpine in memory of the i
Alpine left in Chattooga and the |
many dear and sacred ties there-1
with connected. Mrs. Henderson ,
was a woman of more than ordina
ry intellect with a mind thoroughly
stored with useful and religious
knowledge. She had great love for
doctrines, principles and form of
government in the Presbyterian
church with which she was most
familiar. She had a most compre
hensive knowledge of the Holy
Scriptures which were able to make
wise unto salvation. Her life was
that of an eminent servant of the
Lord Jesus Christ whose course and
kingdom was ever near and dear to
her heart. She often made men
tion of her hopes and prospects of
the joys to come, when borne down
by the infirmaties of age she could
by faith lay hold of the promises
set forth in the gospel and say for
me to live in Christ, to die is gain.
For her death had no terror and she
often spoke of it with that compla
cency a weary traveler would men
tion his loved home. She was the
mother of fifteen children nine of
whom still survive her. One of
them a n inister of the gospel; six
had gone before and were doubtless
looking and waiting for her. All
of her children living reside in Tex
as except A. J. Henderson, of Chat
toogaville, Ga.
While they mourn the loss of a
dear affectionate mother they weep
not as those who have no hope.
They realize that their loss is her
eternal gain. In her death the
church has lost a shining light, her
family a devoted mother, the
world the example of a Christian in
whom -was no guile. Os such it is
written ; Blessed arc they that do
his commandments, that they may
have right to the tree of life and
may enter in through the gate into
the holy city; yea, blessed are the
dead who die in tho Lord.

The following election notice was

I One of the surest wavs to com
mand success in this life and hap
] ness iu the next is to tell the truth.
Not that this alone is sufficient to
i secure either, but a man who culti
-1 vates truth until he sticks to it for
i love of it cannot be bad. The love
of truth is the foundation of a
character that storms may beat
against but it will never fall. Eve
ry one loves a truthful man or wo-
I man, and such never lack friends,
i And truth ought to be acted as
well as told. To act a lie, or ’to
I cause any one to believe ji lie by
| deception, is to tell a there is
; no difference if a false impression
■ is conveyed, it docs not matter 1 y
what instrumentality.

Newspaper Trials.
Rev. T. De Witt Talmage sa; s
oie of the great trials of the newf-'
piper profession is that its mem-1
bers arc compelled to see more of ■
the sham of the world than any j
other profession. Through every I
newspaper office, day after day, go '
all the weaknesses of the world—all
the vanities that want to be puffed,
all the revenges that want to be
reaped, all the mistakes that want
to be corrected, all the dull speak
ers that want to be thought elo
quent, all the meanness that wants
to get its wares noticed gratis in the
editorial column in order to save
the tax of the advertising column ;
all the men who want to be set right
who were never right; all the crack
brained philosophers with stories as
long as their hair and as gloomy as
their finger nails in mourning be
cause bereft of soap—all the bcr s
who come to stay five minutes, but
talk live hours. Through the edi
torial and reportorial rooms all the
follies and shams of the world are
seen, day after day, and the temp
tation is to believe neither in God,
man nor woman. It is no surprise
to me that in this profession there
are some skeptical men; I only
wonder that newspaper men believe
anything.
Two society young men of Cave
Spring are charged with forgery.
The young people of that place re
cently had a leap year party, and
I the forgers, in order to have some
! fun, perpetrated a joke on two
young bachelors by sending them
notes signing to them the names of
two popular Cave Spring belles.
The young men were rejoiced, but
their rejoicing was changed into I
anger when they learned who had
sent the notes. So angry were they
that they went before a Justice of
the Peace and swore out a warrant
for the offenders. The result of the
trial is awaited with interest.

visit thereto and doing this deadly

has been rewarded by viewing the

Notes.—My brother, or fellow disciple.
Seventy times seven, or indefinitely for 4RO
times; clearly mark tho unlimited exercised
forgiveness. Take account, sec how much
they owed. Servants, officers, or those in
charge of some trust. Talents, a talent was
3,000 shekels, and a shekel of silver was about
fifty cents. Went out, i. 0., from his Lord’s
presence. Hundred pence, a pence was the
Roman denarius, valued about fourteen
cents. Wroth, very angry. Tormentors,
officers of the prison. Likewise, in the same
way. Trespasses, sins or wrongs against
you.
V. 21. Moved by our Lord's directions as
to the treatment by his disciples of their of
fending brethren, Peter comes with the very
practical question a»to the extent that for
giveness might be required of him. He
wanted to know how often ho must forgive?
Clearly he thought there was a limit to its
exorcise and a point beyond upon which he
could not be required to go. Now tho rabbis
taught that three was that limit. Peter,
therefore, doubled that number and added
one to it, and then thought that even tho
master could ask no more. Wc can smile at
the earnestness of the man, the darkness that
still shut him in and his struggling toward
tho truth. But just hero, how far—how very
far—do many of tho professing jieople of tho
Lord stand even in this dispensation of tho
spirit below Peter’s “seven times?”
V. 22. How heavenly these words are.
Clearly “seventy times seven’’—4Vo times—
are an unlimited number? “Even as I had
pity on thee” is tho divine measure. And
until that is reached wo must forgive as
freely as wo have been forgiven.
V. 23. Tho whole doctrine of forgiveness is
illustrated in this parable. God’s forgive
ness of us is the reason why wo should for-
V. 24. No doubt these servants were
officers to whom some public trust had been
confided. And this special one had prob
ably farmed out some portion of the king’s
domain. In no other way is it easy to see
how such an enormous dobt could be .*reated.
For a talent of silver would bo about (J1,<500.
and “ten thousand talents” would sum up t
?r>jX)i>,OGo A K .'ld v ould, oi
course, bo propofTOnably greater. And if f
by this dnfirmoiw sum the master meant L
represent our sins against God, it is a most
I telling point that tins great debtor was found
when “be had begun to reckon." No ex
tended search was needed. The proof lay
upon the surfaca The records of the case at
once revoalcd it. There was the proof of the
dobt. And there was no escape from it.
And if that great debt represent our sins bo
foro God, how fitting is the statement, “oirti
was brought unto him, etc.” For this debtor
would not havo come of himself. Tho king’s
rn » engers brought him. And so in tho case
of our sins. Tho king has many messengers
to bring us into his presence and open before
us tho record of our sins. And as we
survey tho record, there is no answer to
the question, “Is not thy wickedness
great, and thine iniquity infinitef’ Job
xxii, 5.
V. 25-27. All these incidents are necessary
to tho parabio an illustrating a human trans
action, and aro not to lx) regarded as measur
ing tho divine mode of forgiveness. Two
great truths aro illustrated by tho para
ble, i. e.,
1. There is no limit to tho exercise of for
giveness, and
2. He who has received forgiveness froni
God, will always extend it to man.
V. 28-30. It is a most significant point
that it was when the “servant went out,” L e.
—from his lord’s presence—that ho found his
indebted fellow servant. He had uo time for
such search when ho stood boforo his lord.
llis own great need occupied him then. But
when he went out from hLs presence, ho could
look up tho little matters of his fellow serv
ant’s indebtedness to him elf. And what a
contrast is here? “Ten thousand talents” on
tho one side, and a “hundred pence’’ on the
other. Yet this taking by tho throat, this
Pay me that thou owest; this casting into
prison—how clearly all this tells of one who
has no sense of forgiveness iu his own ex
perience.
Ilere again wo have the human
the parable, the operations of the
king.” Beyond question, v. 31 mod
ifWpand explains v. 27. Clearly the debt
tliaL ’’’as forgiven could not be enforced, and
the dobt that was enforced could never have
boon forgiven. So that the principle hero
involved is that tho reality of the divine for
giveness in a given case will bo shown by tho
reality of our forgiveness of those) who sin
against us. There is no such thing rs re-en
forcing the penalty of sins that had once
l>ccn forgiven. The unmerciful servant was
not troubled by his great debt. He would
willingly have made it larger if ho had not
been brought to tho king. It was only tho
penalty that troubled him. And he whom
that servant represents is the man who
thought lie was converted when ho was only
terrified, and who hod uo use for tho lovo of
God beyond the fact that in some way it
could save him from tho penalty of his sin.
And when he goes out from tho Lord’s pres
ence; whoa his sense of danger is lost in the
promise-* of tho Gospel, the current of hi.; old
nature flows on as before. V.’hy should ho
not havo hia hundred jieuce? Why should he
not claim that which is his due? And so his
claim to be forgiven is proved by tho ruling
spirit of bis life to have been utterly without
foundation. Tho principle, therefore, bolds
good in every case, that he who refuses to
forgive shows that ho himself had never been
forgiven. And now, in reviewing this para
ble, ivo learn,
1. That the duty of forgiveness is absolutely
unlimited. How, indeed, can it be otherwise,
if it flows out of what God has done for us ?
“ Even as I had -pity on thee,” is tho divine
rule. Therefore to one who has been himself
forgiven tho right to refuse forgiveness docs
not exist. How can we reach the limit of
our “seventy times seven ?”
2. Our sins against God arc practically
without number. Is not this just tho mean
ing of the ton thousand talents of the parable I
“Wo cannot answer him one of a thousand.’’
3. Tho offenses of oui- fellow men against
