DEATHS OF THE WEEK
MARTHA JANE MOODY.

Martha Jane, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. j. G. Waddell, was born
in Somerville, Tenn. Her parents
moved to Union City, Tenn,
where she was united in marriage
to Robert Jackson, and of which
union there was born to them two
sons, John Waddell and Robert
Cooper, and two daughters, Anna
Lewis and Nellie BLY,. She was
baptized into the faith of the New
Church by Rev. A. j. Cleare, who
at the time was the minister of the
society, and with which body she
united herself and was a devoted
and active member as long as her
physical strength would permit.
Mr.. Jackson passed away in 1890
and in 1897 she was married to
George P. Moody. When health
began to fail the loving hands of
husband, sons and daughters
sought to do all they could to help
her. In the fall 1898 she had
made a trip to Oklahoma which
was very beneficial and when her
strength began to wane last win
ter it was thought that another
trip might restore her health.
Accompanied by her daughter,
Nellie, she left last March and for
a time there were signs ofimprove-
ment, but she soon began to fail
again and returned to Union City
again in May in a very weak con-
dition. Gradually she grew more
feeble and on Friday morning of
June "a, 1904, at 8 o'clock passed
peacefully away.
During her last days of illness
the heavenly doctrines of the New
Jerusalem were a great comfort
to her. She was deeply attached
to her family and it was hard for
her to become reconciled to the
thought of having to leave them.
But she learned to submit her will
to the Lords and gave evidence
that her spirit was ensphered by
the Divine love and that the min
istering angels of the Lord we're
welcoming her on the other side.
The funeral services of Mrs.
George p. Moody we're held at
the residence on Saturday after
noon, June 25, 1904, at 4 o'clock,
conducted by Rev. L. G. Landen-
berger, OF St. Louis, pastor of the
New Church. The house and front
yard were filled withSympathizing
friends. After the Minister had
read appropriate vefses from
the Divine Word and offered
prayer the quartette, consisting Of

METHOD OF GRADING
In the High School Department of
Union City Public School.

Editors of The Commercial: I'm
Outstanding that there is some err
roneous impression in the manner
of grading in the High School De-
partnent of the Union City Public
Schools, it is the purpose of the
writer to set forth clearly the meth
cd pursued.
When pupils enter, they are
placed in classes according to
grades merely. That is to say, if
a student enters from another
school, having completed a study
or studies of a higher grade, and
having a study or studies of lower
grade, he is not forced to take over
all the studies in the lower grade,
but only such as he has not finished.
He is placed in the subjects he has
finished in the higher grades, as
they come IN the course of study
laid down.
To illustrates: If the student on
entering has finished ninth grade
Mathematics and English, but has
not had eighth grade Latin and
Science, he enters tenth grade
Mathematics and English, but
takes up eighth grade Latin and
Science. Thus no one is deprived
of class standing in those studies
he has completed, but receives full
credit for them, provided, of course,
he furnishes certificates from rep
utable teachers of his having done
the full equivalent of our work in
several branches, or take our en-
trance examinations.
Prospective pupils can well be
assured that there will be full
faculty for the coming year, as
there was last year. There will
be no steps backward. With a
system of grading which allows all
students full credit for all studies
completed, with full forty minutes
tor class recitation under thorough
ly competent instructors, the pat
rons of the Union City High School
may rest fully satisfied that the
superior advantages offered by this
institution for preparatory work
are of the highest grade.

ing Of the 23d Psalm. The min
lister then made an address based
upon the words, "The Lord is
good to all and his tender mercies
are over all his works"-Psalms
cxlv, 8. He said that if it were
really understood what death
means we would not be sad, but
we cannot help but sympathize
with those who are called upon to
separate from a loved one. After
showing that the Lord is good be-
cause He created the world fur
nished with all manner of bless
ings to meet mans physical needs,
revealed His will by means of His
Word, redeemed him from the
powers of darkness by assuming
our nature, and shows His good
ness in being present by His
Spirit to regenerate us, he said
that the Lord is also good IN the
event called death. For death is
a part of the Divine plan. 1t is
spiritual death-the death of the
truly human virtues that was in
troduced into the world by sin, but
the death of the material body is
according to divine order. As the
chaff is necessary to the grain
and the shell is useful in maturing
the kernel, so is the material body
of temporary use to man, who is a
spirit. For it is the spirit that
thinks, wills and does, and soon
after death the spirit is resurrect
ed from the body of material sub
stances, lives in a spiritual body
in the human form in world that
is spiritual but substantial. The
Lord has made known in his sec
ond coming that He is good to all
when they pass out of this life.
For all whether good, or evil, are
welcomed by the angels who are
ready to offer man all kindly serv-
ices. Those who are confirmed in
evils soon forsake the company of
angels any are drawn to their kind.
But such as have an affection for a
good life, who have acknowledged
God and repented of evil and pre-
pared for their home in heaven
" society, where they come among
those who are spiritually kith and
kin.
In the light of this we may
rest assured that our sister who
has passed away is well cared for.
She was of domestic turn of
mind; her home was her kingdom.
She loved the teachings of the
church and was deeply interested
ID its work. Her charitable spirit
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1904-07-01

led her to do many kindly deeds
And while we cannot see Just what
good will result from her passing
into the other life we may feel
sure that the Lord does override
the event for the eternal good OF
all concerned. We should learn
from the passing away of four loved
ones that earth is but a temporary
home and that we are here to pre-
pare for our real home which is in
the other world.
At the close of the address the
minister read the following poem
stating that it had been sent to her
by friend when it, no doubt, ex
pressed her feelings;
TOO TIRED TO PRAY.
"I'm too tired to trust and too tired
to pray,
Said one as the oyertaxed strength
gave way,
"The one conscious thought by my
mind possessed
Is "Oh could / just drop it all and

Without even asking if may,
Without even trying to trust or pray?
Will God forgive you?" Why, think,
dear heart,
When language to you was an I'M
known art,
Did mother deny you needed rest,
Or refuse to pillow you on her breast;
Did she let you want when you could
not ask?
Did she set her child an unequal task,
Or did she cradle you in her arms,
And then guard your slumber against
alarms?
All, how quick was her mother-love
to see
The unconscious warnings of infancy,
When you've grown too tired to trust
or pray,
When overweight nature has quite

Then just drop it all and give up TO

breast.

So just go to sleep as baby does,
Without even asking If you may
God knows when his child is too tired
to pray.
He judges not wholly by uttered
prayer,
He knows when the yearnings of love
are there;
He knows you do pray, He knows you
do trust
And he knows the limits of poor weak
dust.
Oh the wonderful sympathy of Christ
For His chosen ones in that midnight
tryst,
When He babe them sleep on and take
their rest,
While on Him the guilt of the. whole
world pressed.
You've given your life to him to keep,
Then don't be afraid to go right to

VICTIM OF POLITICS.
Death of Gen. Thomas Bordered
on the Tragic.

Chicago, March 1.-THE removal of
General Thomas whose death is an
nounced today, from office a few weeks
ago was one of the most picturesque
incidents known in politics here. Seat
ed under the folds of a United States
flag General Thomas remained a his
desk, refusing to give way until dis
possessed by the actual arrival OF his
successor, Lyman T. Hoy, who was the
manager of the campaign that resulted
in the election of United States Senator
Albert J. Hopkins. The reason assign
ed for the removal was the desirability
of securing a more vigorous admins
tration of the office, but General Thorn
as maiptained that the motive for the
change was purely political and that
the affairs of the appraisers office were
being handled with an efficiency above
the average.
The issue was made the subject of an
appeal to President Roosevelt and a
controversy with Secretary Shaw The
death of General Thomas was as dra-
matte as his removal. He had served
in the civil war. but had never made
an application for a pension, while in
receipt of other income. Today after
Intellectual efforts to secure other work
he was in a lawyers office preparing
pension application. 1t was while thus
engaged that General Thomas died. He
was 70 years old.
General Thomas was appointed ap-
praiser of the port of Chicago by Presi-
dent Mckinley several years ago and
served continuously until removed from
the position by President Roosevelt
within the last month. Deceased was
adjutant general under Governor
Brovnlow of TennesSeS during the civil
war and was subsequently speaker of
the Illinois legislature. Upon arriving
at the lawyers office today General
Thomas sank into a chair, painting and
out of breath. He was unable to speak
for a moment, but seemed to recover

drawn up to a table and he was about
to speak again when he was seized by
a second fainting spell. His head sank
on the table and a moment later he
