OBITUARY.,

Brother G. w. Martin was born July
the 9th, 1923, in Laurens County, q, O.
ne joined the church at Warrior Creek
m July, 1859, n was baptized by Rev,
toIaVer Robertson. He was married
10 MRS: Caroline Higgins in Dec. 1876
On the 9th OF March, 1898, he peace
iully and triumphHntly fell asleep in
jesus. Death had no terrors for this
aged and faithful servant OF God.
supported In the arms OF a loving
nephew he quietly, fearlessly and pa
tlently a waited the end.
Since his youth his health was ex-
sremely delicate, yet by his untiring
energy and neYer tagging zeal he &C
CURED IA good competency.
In all my experience | have never
met more lovely character; polished,
YET oroad-minded and a deep thinker.
one might well say of him: ''his life
was gentle; and the clements so mixed
1nat nature might stand up and say to
ali the world this was a MANI AS a
christian and an earnest worker in
MS Masters vineyard he was without
q peer in his community.
de vas regular in his church alton
oance, liberal to pastor, missions and
70 all n church expenses. A remark.
able feature in the life and character
OF our brother was the close attention
tnat he gave to the preached word
AS MS pastor 1T was always an inspira-
Ilon TO me to watch his dear sainted
iace all aglow with the hight, not of
Ihis world, bcaming as though he be-
he!d a glimpse of the Land of Beulah
and Of the New Jerusalem coming
down from God. He was a close stu
dent and a great lover Of his Bible. IL
was not read in a stiff formal manner,
put he penetrated deeply into its pro-
found truths.
It's practical truths and of it's sublime
doctrines. These were his themes at
nome, on the highway and at church.
just q few days before his death he
gave an exposition of the book OF Job
and 1T was regarded by those who
heard 1T as the most exhaustive an
alysis OF Job to which they had ever
listened. He lived in daily com
munlon and in touch with the Lord:
the study of the Bible, the closet prayer
and the constant discharge of duty,
made him "a prince and great nan in
Isreal."
His pastor and church have aus
tanned an irreparable loss. We feel it
keeniy, yet in submission bow. Shall
we ever see his like again?
The Lord comfort the broken
hearted wife and relatives whom he
loved so much. You and | shall see
him again OF the other shore.
we close this imperfect sketch OF his
life with the beautiful words of the
poet:
Servant OF God we'll done,
Rest from the kind
The battle fought, tho victory won,
Enter thy masters Joy.

of his "reminiscences as we'll az

Vhe Abbeville Banner--W. G..

to Florida, where he died several
years ago.

turned to print the Banner for a

was honored in peace, having been
elected Senator from his county.
This editor hopes to be with his
friends for many years to cume,and
he trusts that it may be many a
