In Memory.

Mrs. Cynthia McLaren was born
in Lawrence County, Tenn, near
West Point, February 5, 1919, and
died at her old home, at Lowry.
vile, in Hardin County, April %,
1900.
Her maiden name was Tays. On
March II, 1887, she was united in
marriage to James McLaren, with
whom she lived happily until his
death few years ago.
She protested religion and join.
ed the NJ. Il. Church, South, at
Lowryville, and for almost forty
years the grace of God has safely
led her over the rugged paths of
life. She was a good woman, sin.
cere and Christlike in all the rela.
lions of life which enabled her to
walk humbly with her God.
The writer visited her many
times during her illness and the
old family Bible was handed to
me just before | would leave, and
the request was, "Will you read
and pray with us againW
AS q wife she was true and de.
voted; as a mother, kind, watch
ful, affectionate, and prayerful;
as a neighbor, charitable and
good.
We laid her to rest by her hus-
band and children who have al.
ready passed over before her.
To her three children and loved
ones left to mourn her departure,
we would say, weep not but look
to Him, in whom she placed her
hopes, and he faithful and some
sweet day the angels will come
and take you to those gone on
before, where there will be nc
more partings or sad farewells.
Knowing Sister Mcylaren as we
did, we can but say, BLESSED are
the dead who die in the Lord
from henceforth," yes "that they
may rest from their labors aut
J their works do follow them.

In some towns, we are sorry to
say, there exists a custom up.
on the part of some merchants to
open up their business houses
and sell goods all day Sundays.
1t is just as bad to do this, as it is
for the farmer to gear up his team
and 90 out to his field and pillow
oil day; make rails. haul crossties,
etc. But it seems that some mems
love for the Almighty Dollar''
prompts them to JOIN hands with
the devil, and to lose sight of
things pure and noble and eleva-
ting; and their example is not very
wholesome for the youths in any
community. Can it be stopped?
Yes. Hows BY the church ser.
wing notice upon them that the
trade will 60 elsewhere; and,
there is a law on the statue books
to prohibit the Dissertation of the
Sabbath, in any manner.-Ex.
, The above from an exchange,
contains food for thought.
