Resolutions of Fair River Baptist Chur,

Resolutions of Fair River Baptist Church.
Whereas, Divine Providence has
seen tit to remove from our midst and
transplant to the realms of glory our
beloved brother, w. H. BAILEY, for
many years pastor and member in
our body, we think his services in
the church, patience under extreme
affiiction and exemplary life entities
his memory to respectful considera-
ton; Therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of our
departed brother, Fair River Church
has lost consecrated Christian mem
Der, our community and country an
excellent citizen, our homes and socie-
ty warm hearted, faithful friend, the
stricken widow true and devoted
husband, the children and grand chill
dren kind and loving father and
grand father.
Resolved, That while we deplore his
loss, we bow in humble submission to
the will of Him who has promised to
be husband to the widow and a
father to the fatherless, to whose ten
der mercies and loving kindness we
commend the bereaved ones.
Resolved, That we shall ever rever-
ence his memory for his kind words,
good deeds, and sympathizing heart.
Resolved further, That copy of
these resolutions be furnished THE
LEADER for publication, one to the fam
lily of the deceased, and record of the

HIfMII-ITN-

Written and read by request by Miss Lucy
4. Summers. before Topisaw Sunday school. ]
The washing of the dicipl es' feet was
saying in the language of action that
the Son Of Man came not to be minis.
tered unto but to minister, and that
the law of His kingdom is the law of
helpfulness.
We are to initiate not the form, but
the spirit of Christ. One may do in
other circumstances what another has
done and yet entirely fail of initiating
His example because all that made it
of value is left out. Jesus did not
institute rite in washing his disci-
pies feet; but showed us the true
spirit of humility. He that does the
humblest service in order to relieve
the wants of others or cleanse their
souls from sin; he that forgets him.
self and seeks no honor, no high place
but only to serve, and to help and
seek out the poor, the sick, the OBJ
scure, the unpopular, in order to be
their friend aud helper, he does to
them as Christ did to his disciples.
What a matchless picture of humil-
ity. At the very moment when his
throne was in view, angel anthems
floating in his ear, the hour near when
he was to depart out of this world.
Humility follows him from his un-
honored birth to his borrowed grave.
The poor in spirit, the meek, his first
beatitudes. However he is employed,
whether performing his works of mir
aculous power, or receiving angel Wis
itants, or taking little children in his
arms, he stands forth clothed in hu-
mility. Before his death he called
his disciples friends" subsequently,
it is "brethren," children" How
sad the contrast between the master
and his disciples! When he spoke to
them of being sacrificed for the peo-
pie, they did not understand him, but
still thought he was going TO set up an
earthly kingdom and that now the
time for him to do this was coming
near, and they began to dispute among
themselves, as they had done before,
which should be the greatest in that
kingdom.
Let the mental image of that lowly
Redeemer be ever bending over u.s.
His silence may we'll speak in silent
impressiveness, bringing us down from
our pedestal of pride. Let us strive
to obtain like our adorable Lord this
ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is, in the sight of God, of great
price. Be clothed with gentleness and
humility; follow not the worlds fleet
ing shadows that mock you as you
grasp them.
If always aspiring, ever soaring,
we are likely to become disconnected,
proud, selfish and tins serving. Let
us be content with the humblest place;
not envious of the success or exalta-
ton of another; but in whatever posi-
ton of life God hath placed us, let us
be satisfied
How much we have cause to be
humble for:-the constant defilement
of sin and even what is partly good
in US, how mixed with imperfection,
self-seeking, arrogance and vain-glory.
Be assured no happiness is equal to
that enjoyed by meek Christians. A
pious Christian is contradiction of
terms. Christ speaks of his people as
"lilies:" they are lilies of the valley
and can only grow in the shade.

Council Of Women.

New Orleans Local Council of
Women have reason to be exceedingly
proud Of their president, Mrs. L. NJ.
Hornor, who represented that organ
ization at the recent Philadelphia con-
vention. Concerning her paper, The
Times Democrat says:
ut is no exaggeration to state that
few addresses made at the convention
in the Quaker City have enunciated
principles of more immediate or more
enduring value than did this able and
sympathetic paper read by this sym
pathetic and able woman of New Or
leans. With sureness of grasp and
nicely of discrimination, Mrs. Hornor
emphasized the high importance of in
dustrial development throughout the
Southern States. She pointed out
lucidly and effectively the benefits
that are to follow when this sunkissed
land which God has so abundantly
blessed becomes equipped with the
best and latest improvements of the
age. With fine sense of proportion and
singular clearness of perspective, she
reviewed the history of the South since
the birth of the nation, and refreshed
the hearts of her auditors and of her
readers by reciting the noble contribu-
tions made by Southern women in up
lifting and enriching the land. She
portrayed artistically the beautiful
Southern life under the old regime
and spoke with wondrous power Of the
manner in which that most perfect of
human creations, a true Southern lady,
adapted herself to the new conditions
growing out of the war Picture if
you will, said Mrs. Hornor, "a splendid
plantation, with its beautiful domestic
life, the gentle master and mistress,
the growing family and happy darkies,
the broad fields and industrial man.

each forming a perfect stroke of
beautiful pastoral painting; then turn
again to that same place after the raw
ages of war have swept over its happy
landscape, and behold the charred
ruin Of a destroyed mill, deserted
quarter, devastated fields and an anx-
ious family, watched over by an un-
daunted woman, who is at once father,
mother, guardian and protector. AS
sisted only by Uncle jake who is
there because the love of his mistress
constrains him; she keeps the home
alive, and later, when the clouds have
lifted, and father comes home, wreck
ed in health and broken hearted, he
spends his last days peacefully and
quietly watching the gradual develop
ment out of old things ON new lines,
which she has had the courage to en-
ploy, and as time passes, and death
lays that mother low she bequeaths to
her splendid young son of the South
the glorious inheritance of an unen-
numbered home, made possible by the
energy of woman whom it was his
proud privilege to have called mother"

notable of the season The magnifi-

gifts were purchased in Paris, where
Miss Morton and her parents spent last
week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morton are receiving
friends at the Coburg hotel, where
some of the presents are on view. They
included the superbe corbei1le given by

the American embassy, headed by Am
bassador and Mrs. Choate, and mem
bers of the French embassy, Colonel

the English nobility witnessed the cere-
mony. The Due de Talleyrand ct Sa-
gan, the bridegroom's father, was not

WILL BOB UP AGAIN.
Chinese Question to Reappear
in the Spring.

London. Oct 5.-A dispatch from Mos
COW to the Times commenting on Russia
absorption of Manchuria says that at
last Russia. has closed her old far east
ern ports, but Europe. for which Great
Britain was spokesman, insisted that
Russia's new Liau Tung (southern Man
churia) ports be kept OPEN Consequent
ly trade was abandoned at Nikolaievsk,
the chief Russian post on the Anur and
went to Vladivostock, with the acquisi-
ton of Port Arthur going still further
into southern Manchuria.
Russia has a grievance in regard to
the fiscal arrangements Large guam
titles of dutiable goods enter Liau-Tung
ports and go thence into the Amur ter
ritory over the rivers, which for thou
sands of miles are not guarded fscally.
Russia's military and diplomatic ar
engagements are complete, says the
Times correspondent and by next spring,
if not sooner, all will be ready, and an
other Russo Chinese question will be
sprung on Europe
