Blacksmith trade, In which he became

tempted. After he was set free he Joined
the Methodist church, and became. the

Death Of Mr.. M. [. Davis.

The many Oconee friends of Mr. Mead
l.. Davis regret to learn of his death
which occurred at his home near Jeffer.
son City, Texas, on Thursday, March
Goth, 1908. He was native of this
county, and spent here the greater part
of his four score years. In 1885 he sold
his valuable farm near Westminster and
removed to Texas with his large and
interesting family. He leaves his wife,
five sons and three daughters, and numer.
GUS relatives in both South Carolina and
Texas, TO whom Is extended the sincere
sympathy of many friends. After a long
life of upright, honorable conduct good
man has gone TO his reward. One by
one the aged are laying their armor by,
leaving the younger generation to bear
the heat and burden of the day. There
Is peculiar sense in which q good man
never dies; though the body decayeth
and wasteth away, the influence of his
noble life abides and serves as an inspira-
tion to those who follow in his steps
An honest man Is the noblest work OF
God, and such was he OF whom we write.
Ii was. our. privilege to know him well
and enjoy his friendship during the days
of our boyhood. Happy were the hours
spent under his hospitable roof, and
often were we helped by his kindly
fatherly admonition. He was strong
man in many ways, strong in mind and
body, and strong in the force of his high
character. In his death we feel per
sonal loss, and deeply sympathize with
those near and dear on whom this heavy
stroke has fallen.

as Of equal worth with the public school
teacher. We have not dlgnihed him enough.
We have not yet raised him 20 the ranks
OF the professionals. Sabbath school teach
ing is an art, why not also a science?
A Sabbath school teacher should be
trained for his task. We are not clamor-
ing for text books. A good text book is a
poor teachers fetch; the worst book can
be safely entrusted to a good teacher. But
how secure these teachers? How raise the
standard and the calling OF the Jewish
Sabbath school teacher; how give him the
necessary training-how? BY placing in
back OF him an institution like the board
OF education! We Jews have successfully
systematiZed and united our charities.
Conditions seem favorable for a similar
coaIescence OF our higher educations or
ganizatIon. Has the time not come for
pooling our Sabbath school interests and
problems? Why may not a religious board
OF education, composed of a dozen OF the
most enthusiastic members of the various
Sabbath school boards in a city, to whom is
intrusted an endowment fund for the train
ing of special teachers: In whom is vested
the task OF choosing the teachers, making
attendance compulsory, arranging uniform
courses OF study, be after all not such a
foolish vision? Why may not a chair Of re-
ligiOus pedagogy be established al the He
brew Union college and New York TheOlog-
ical seminary? The day OF specialists is at
hand. Cannot this union send forth its
strong insistence that the Sabbath school
teacher is and must also and always be a
specialist?
