The Old Mans Story.

I, VIM. F. Ashley, was born Febu-
rary %, 1927, in Ashe County, North
Carolina, joined the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, South, in the year 1916;
commenced preaching in '78, and am
now 81 years old, and live on the farm
that | purchased about thirty years
ago, on which | discovered a mineral
spring in the year 1926. The discovery
OF the spring was made IN a very
unexpected manner. l had been af-
fiicted with the painful disease of
gravel for twenty odd years. One day
l was cleaning out a ditch and became
very thirsty. | began to drink of the
water in the ditch. The same day |
was greatly relieved and could not at
tribute my relief to anything else but
the water l drank out of the ditch,
which had a peculiar taste, though
pleasant; and l still continued to drink
the water daily for some time and soon
found myself we'll of that painful and
dangerous disease. ! also had a daugh-
ter in Colorado, Pueblo County, over
two thousand miles away, who was
very bad off with Bright's disease and
was attended by the best physician in
that country, DR.. r. S. Littrell, and he
told my daughter that he could not do
anything for her that her disease
was jncurable, as she had q very bad
attack of Bright's disease. l wrote to
my daughter to come home; that / had
found a mineral spring that would
cure her, and she came and was exam
ined by one of tho best physicians in
Eastern North Carolina; and he also
decided that her cas- was Bright's dis
ease, of the worst type, and pronounced
her incurable. But she commenced
using the water from the spring l had
discovered, and in the short time of
four months she was pronounced sound
and well by the same doctor. ANY
one wishing information concerning
the cures of myself and daughter, can
address me at any time.

In MemOriam.

David A. Holmes was born August
6, 1854, departed this life November 4,
1894, of pneumonia, after an illness of
about ten days. Sad indeed is the
duty of regarding the departure of one
SO amiable and so beloved by all who
knew him, but since it has pleased our
Heavenly Father to reward him, we
can only bow in humble submission to
His most righteous will. At home he
was a model of affection and obedience,
ever ready to do the bidding and fulfill
the wishes of his parents, and in return
he shared the fondest affections of a
kind father and tender mother who did
all they could to sooth the spirit and
relieve the suffering of their dear son
in his afiiction. He has been a faith.
full member of the NJ. E. Church for
fifteen months. How sad it is to enter
the church on each Sabbath evening
and see a vacant seat, one that will
never be filled by Davie again. Dear
father and mother, brothers and sisters,
mourn not for your son and brother as
those who have 70 hope, for your loss
is his eternal gain.

To keep him back from the unknown lands.
But the summons came from the far off
shore,
And he went from our presence forever

we see that death is in our land, and
that he is no respecter of persons, but
that he calls the young as well as the
old, and some day, friendly reader, he
will call you and me some day he
will enter dwelling and bear our
loved ones hence. Are we ready to
obey that call ? Have we made the
necessary preparation in life to emit

Therefore be We also ready, for in
such an hour as ye think not the Son

Dear Davie how we miss thee
Sorrows pangs can best express;
Thus to see cold Death embrace thee
Fills our hearts with deep distress.
Yet we feel amidst our sadness
That there is One who knows our grief,
And we turn to Him with gladness,
Feeling that He will give relief.
oh, dear one, the grave hath won thee,
And thy form we'll see no more
Till we too, cross Deaths cold river,
And rest on Canan's peaceful shore.
May we have the full assurance
AS we leave this earthly shore,
That we are going home so Jesus;
Going home to die no more.
