AND COURIER.
MARIETTA, GA., FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10, 1913,
MAS. MARCUS FIELDS ‘
Funeral Service Was Conducted
By Dean C. T. A. Pise I
From Residence.
At eight o’clock Saturday evening
Mrs. Marcus Field passed away
peacefully after a long period of suf«
fering at the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Glover. She was
Miss Leize Glover and was in her
46th year. The funeral service was
on Monday afternoon and was con
ducted by Dean C. T. A. Pise, of AT
lanta, as she lay in her soft gray cas
ket on the spot where she had knelt
twenty years ago during her mar
riage ceremony to receive the benedic
tion from Mr. Pise who was then her ’
pastor and Rector of St. Jameai
Church. After the service the casket
was borne to the Episcopal cemetery
and interred heside her grandmother,*f
Mrs. Jane Glover, who was laid to |
rest scarcely two years ago. Great
quantities of beautiful flowers cov- !
ered the grave and many friends ot‘
this lovely lady stood sadly by while
she was placed in her last resting
place. ‘

. e e
The Presbyterian Church presented
an inspiring scene on last Sunday eve
ning when the Baptist, Methodist and
Presbyterian congregations came to
gether in union service. For more
than twenty years a union service has
been held on the first Sunday in each
New Year. On this occasion the
church was filled to its fullest seating
capacity. There alWays ‘eomes inspi
ration from a crowd of interested liste
ners and the three pastors from the
different churches seemed to feel this
stimulating influence, for they never
talked with more zeal and earnestness,
each one seeming to feel that the op
portunity to speak on such all impor
tant subjects to such a large gathering
of people was a rare privilege. |
Mr. Tumlin’s talk on ‘““The Influence
of a Consecrated Life’’ was full of in
terest, and his reference to some who
have lived lives of consecration in_our
midst and who already joined the Re
deemed forevermore was most touch
ing. Mr. Duval gave us something to
think about and to carry with us every
day in his earnest talk on ‘‘Tne Duty
of the Church to the Children.”’
Mr. Patton’s subject ‘“The Impor
tant of Church Attendance’’ gave him
a splended opportunity to tell the people
in his own loving way of the great sin
of indifference to God ‘and His service,
andto urge the people to greater intrest
in attendence upon public worship.
The choir rendered beautiful music
the duet by Mrs. E. P. and Mrs. H. C.
Dobbs beingfa special feature. An of
fering was taken which was turned over
to the Benevolent Association, this col
lection amounted to $5.86. :
