Death of Rev. Thos. o. Summers, D,
D.. L. L. D.
GUAT1IUNICATED

CoMMUNICATEp
The sal intelligence has reached us Of the
death Of this eminent minister Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South, which took place
a his home ia Nashville Tenn last Saturday
morning 9th inst. al o'clock DR.. Summers
was one of the most distinguished men of the
age and has doubtless done as much or more
for the cause Of Meth0dism as any other man
now living. He was born near JOrfe Castle
Dor setshrt, England, October llth, 1872 and
emf grated to the United States in 1880 and
became preacher in the VI. 4. Church, at
first in Virginia. He was one Of the nine who
constituted the first Conference in Texas in
the year 1910. Ia 1914 he !oined the Alabama
Conference aud as Secretary Of the Conven-
ton Louisville, KY, assisted in organizing
the Methodist Episcopal Church South He
was editor, by appointment, of the General
Conference, sacCessivelyN Of the Southern
Christian Advocate, Sunday School Visitor
QGart Fly Review Nashville Christian Advo-
cate, Box Editor, Professor Of Systematic
Theology in the Vanderbilt University best les
editing numerous volumes for Sunday School
Libraries, and scores of volumes of books
published at the Southern Methodist Publish
ing House at Nashville. At the time of his
death ne was about to send 10 press a work on
Systematic Theology. But time and space
forbid the mention in detail Of his labors and
positions during life of seventy years spent
in the service of God and the Church. He
literally worked himself to death-dying
almost ut his desk.
Dr. Summers was Secretary of every GEN
eral Conference since 1874, and was elected to
that position again last Tuesday by the
General Conference which convened on that
day-and actually served two days in the
faithful discharge of the duties Of this
responsible position. But the Master called
him and he Is gone from a world Of labor to
haven Of rest beyond the skies. Truly great
and good man has fallen--one whose place
cannot be easily filled. ARCH.

Correspondence.

Rev. Cnas. 3. galloway
DEAR BRoTHER-At a meeting of the
Ladies c. NJ Society, Jackson, it was unan-
imously agreed to tender to our Methodist
brethren the use of the Christian Church,
during the time their own church is being
torn down and rebuilt; only reserving the
use for themselves in the event of securing
a pastor for the year, or, at such times as
we may have minister visiting US.
Yours, with prayers for Christian Union,
LADIES c. N. SOCIETY,
Mrs. B. L. GOODYEAR, Secretary.

MANY persons take medicine for their
ailments, and as soon as they feel better
they disregard al directions and stop tax
ing it. They try it again and again, and
finally throw it aside as worthless, when,
had it been perseTersd in from the start, a
permanent cure would have been effected.
Now IN taking PRICKLT ASH BITTERs for
all complaints Of the Stomach and Bowels,
remember to give the medicine chance,
and don't expect oneor tWo doses to cure
you.
