brought to us by the gospel. - Socrates
sought it on the AcrOpolis at Athens,
Cato sought it in his retreat at Utica,
it WAS debated among the sages and
dreamed of by the muses., but no vision
of tabled gods brought it near. When,
however, the Son of God arose from
death and fulfilled the purpose of his
advent and life, he gave to the world
the assurance OF Immortality. My
friends, we mourn today the departure
of one of our Oldest and most respected
citizens. He has lived among you and
been one of you for more than half
century. He was man of integrity,
of untarnished name and of consistant
christian character. His was modest
simple life, and yet he was man of
good thoughts and of the finest feelings.
And now, like ripe shock of wheat, or
like the descending of ripe and whole
some fruit from pleasant tree. our
aged friend has finished his course,
leaving behind him good name, and a
blessing upon posterity.
Davidson Dickson was born in Poland,
Trumbull county, Ohio, May 81,
1911. Removed to Arkansas in 1874
was married to Elizabeth Newland in
Van Buren,, June "a 1851, who still sur
wives. OF this union there were born
five children, all of whom proceeded
him to the home on high. He joined
the Christian church in early life and
eleven years ago united with the M. e.
church South. AS church member, as
husband, as father, as citizen and as an
official of your county for forty years he
has faithfully finished his task And
now let him have rest. Lay the tired
pilgrim in the chamber which is called
peace, where he shall rest till break of
day.
She who shall pursue alone life s pill
grimage and stands so sorely bereft at
this hour shall have as she so richly de-
serves our love, our prayers, and our
sympathy. Sincerely.

TRIRuTE TO DAVIDSON DICKSON

We are all being borne forward in the
great caravan of days, months and years
to that unseen land from which none
return Whether in the unimpaired
vigor of youth or showered over with
the hosry frosts of age we are all alike
liable to the unsparing stroke of death.
We need not however, go like slave
scourged to his dungeon, nor like an
unwilling captive bound to the chariot
wheel of all conquoring death. With
our trust in God our hope is well found
ed with our faith in Christ our depart
ure is only a triumphant march and
the close of life our coronation. 1t is
the heaven given privilege of every true
believer to meet death in all the glory
of unsubdued triumph. Just as the
leaves put on their loveliest hues when
about to die, as the dying swan is said
to sound her sweetest note last; and as
the rosy dawn heightens into the full
day, SO the last stages of our earthly
Journey may be adorned with the sur
passing grace and glory of chri stian
hope. Travellers tell us that the distant
ranges of the Alps on first coming into
view appear but snow wreaths left by
departing winter But as You approach
nearer they arise higher and still higher
against the sky until their snow crowned
submits seem to support the vault of
heaven. The effect however is reversed
in the case of the believer s trials.
Formidable at distance, dreaded when
remote, the nearer his approach to them
the less they grow. The cloudiest day
has more CLEANS, the bitterest cup more
sweetness and the darkest night more
stars than his fears allowed him to ex
pect. He has long dreaded death and
now finds death is swalloed up in vic
tory. His latter end is peace, AS we
have seen the sun at the close of a dark
and stormy day break forth at his set
ting to bathe the whole landscape in a
food of glory, and having painted a
rain bow on the storm cloud sink to rest
amid the fragrance of flowers, and the
ioyful songs of groves and skies, 80 the
child of God passes away. His faith
grows stronger as his flesh grows weak
er, AS he loses his hold ON the world, he
takes a a firmer grip on the hand
Divine. His sun sinks in a cloudless
, sky while weeping friends exclaim
amid their tears. Let me die the death
of the righteous. and let my last end be
like his. - Truly,
"The chamber where the good man meets his
fate
Ia privileged beyond the common walk
Of yirtuous life, quite on the verge Of heaven
The sting Of death is sin. "
Never was there a truer sentence ut
tered. Sin pollutes the soul, sin brings
guilt and condemnation and leaves us a
prev to remorse. Sin alone can edge
the sword of death and barb his arrow {
point. Restore to man his moral and
spiritual purity, give him an abiding
faith in the Savior of sinners, and grant
him visions of immortality, and he will
lie down in the cold embrace of death
With as little terror as he lies down to q
nights repose. Thanks be unto God
that giveth us the victory through oui
Lord Jesus Christ.
