DR.. William J. Judd.

Nearly n yearagO wrote on the tragic |
death OF my dear son. | now painfully
approach these columns on the sad death
of a bosom friend-Dr. W J. Judd, who
died at his residence in Henderson, thurs
day, Sept. It'll, 100.
Doctor Judd was born i'll Wake county,
North Carolina, Sept. 18th, 1889. HIS
father. Mr.. John Judd, was an extensive
planter and large slave owner; his moth
err was a Miss Malinda Dennis. tie grad
mated from the St Louis Medical College
with preferred honOrs in 1861. when he
was APPOINTED to high position IN that
college: and was at the time OF his death
the senior member of the Vance County
Medical Society in point OF graduation;
it's members attending the funeralln their
official capacity.
The solemn service was held at the
BAPTIST church, of which he WAC con-
sistent member, conducted by the Revs.
Larkins. Henderlte and Kenneth. Inc
honorary pallbearers were }. I. Alder
man W r. McNair and f. Powell; active

err. r. NJ. Pittman, \. J. Harris, K. }.
Switzerland. Owen Davis, r. K. Sattcr-
white. Col. Perry The many beautiful
floral testimonials were so many tokens
of kind sympathy, for which the bereaved
ones return their heartfelt gratitude:
For nearly twenty years Doctor Judd
and myself have been fast friends our
mutual introduction was OWING TO a
severe illness on my part, Whlch ne Skill
| fully and successfully treated. His repu-
tation as a Christian gentleman, sklllful
physician and social standing are lar
| above my poor weak commentator. 1t
| is Il we'll known fact that the needy poor
| who applied at his office door for medical
| aid were never sent empty away stooo
| by his bedside but a short time before
| the last breath was drawn; his last
articulated words in my presence We're,
| All is well with me. at the same time
| giving me his last look OF recognition
| which can never forget, Language fails
my deep undying sympathy. Many have
! been my welcome visits, and many the
! pleasant hours which | have enjoyed be-
meath that social roof; many times have
| we conversed and commented on the
| great and merciful redemption PLAN and
| that glorious time when the ''SOn' shall
deliver up his fulfilled mission to the
Father" by saying: Il have finished the
| work thou hast given me to DO,
| and there Revelation ends, only to
| point to the countless and the blissful
ages to come" Then will Peters pre-
dicton at Pentecost be literally fulfilled,
(viz.) the restitution of all things. or
in other words-the recovery of the hui
man race from the depths of Adams fall
and the lost Paradise restored. Not
| locally on the bank of the River Euphra-
ties. but universally of which the garden
of Eden was but type. This beautiful,
stupenduous world OF ours, purged of
| sin and all its train OF misery, will con-
tinue to pursue her everlasting journey
in company with her sister worlds in
their eternal revolutions around the
solar system" and will to all eternity
carry on her celestial surface a redeemed
ever taste of that bliss which Adam and
Eve enjoyed in their happy Eden Home;
where a stain of sin shall never mar the
harmony and peace Of perfect society.
Love, yelling up in every heart. shall
meet with a kindred response in every
other heart BenevOience marks every
act: sickness and death will be no more;
not an ache or pain nor any evidence of
| decay. Mental and moral perfection
stamps and glorifes every radiant coun-
tenance and perfect humanity will be OF
! surprising loneliness. Such will earth's
society be and weeping. bereaved ones
| will have their tears all wiped away
when thus they realize the great redemp-
ton work complete, when Righteousness
shall cover the earth as the waters cover
the depths of the sea.
When war shall be Il thing unknown,
When misery shall cease.
And all men dwell together
In Justice love and peace.
