Prayer.communion with God.

Prayer is not a mere begging for

loving communion with him In whom
we live. and move. and have our be

with God two features that should
ever have prominence are. an acknowl.
edgment OF blessings now enjoyed. and
specific thanks for answers TO requests
before offered. Is this duty recog.
nized and performed by us in our or.
binary devotions? II has been said
that one word OF praise pleascs God
better than ten words Ok petition. Does
praise for safety through the night.
and for a measure OF strength for the

daily morning prayer? In our daily
evening prayer do we first recall and
give thanks for the answers TO our
requests OF the morning? What should

love for God and a supreme love for
man. There Is no such thing as a

Again our hearts are made sad by the
touch of tender, yet powerful hand, when

our boma and claimed for his own our dear
mother and grandmother. 1t is hard to
give up such a mother, but voice conso-
lingly whlsp, RS, not given up. only return
ed to the God who gave her being and mer-
cfully permitted US to be blessed by her
presence so many years. | write with an
aching heart. as well as with feeling of IN
abilty,tO do justice to such noble charac-
ter. as was that of Mrs. Richard Wilkins,
who was born near Raleigh, n. c., Jan.
the 1st. 1880, came to Alabama in the early
forties, was married to Joseph Brown De-
cember the 2Sth, 1854, with whom she lived
happily until his death, June the 18th.
1864, and again united in marriage to
Richard Wilkn9, August the 9th, 1868
and again left widow November the 9th,
1886, since which time her home has been
with Mrs. Salie Glover, who is an only
child, Her long and painful illness was
borne with the patience characteristics OF
her true christian life. At last when all
aid that co, Id be rendered by kind and
sympahizing friends had reached an end
and she had hidden farewell to all Oh earth
below, as we tenderly folded the hands of
so many years faithful toll over the still
heart, we could but murmur to God-may
our lives be as faithful, our hearts as pure,
and our expiration as happy as was hers
To know her was to IOYe her. Ever gentle
and kind, remembering at all times the
needs and even pleasures Of others, sympa-
thizing with all the tenderness OF her gea-
tie heart with any in sorrow or Distress
She was devoted above al, things to the
welfare of the sick. II was her greatest
pleasure to toll for others. At times when
suffering was greatest she never ceased to
think OF the loved ones constantly by her
bedside, and often express profound sym.
patty for them, showing at all times her
great appreciation OF the efforts that were
being made for her comfort, 1t is, indeed,
sad to know that We can never hear her
gentle voice or look up, II her kind face
Yet, we realize that God make no mistakes
and that II e in his wisdom knows best-we
can but succumb to His mighty will How
sweet to think of her as
Gone from world of burdens to bear
TO a home of neither sorrow or care,
There with the angels she will await
To welcome loved ones to heavens gate.

building There was large crowd at
tendance to listen to essays on the civil
war composed and real by some of the
pupils. From among the essays written
six were selected to be read, and for the
best one gold medal, presented by the
U D. Cs., was given to Miss Willie
Ford and Miss Mary Dinsmore and Mas
ter Robert Mitchell were hJnorably
mentioned
1t reflects credit upon the teachers
that the pupils were so well versed in
the history of the country. Miss Mary
