conclusion. Among his young playmates
at school as well as in vacation, he was
recognized as authority, and his wisdom
and discretion in action, especially in the
innocent sports, were seldom challenged.
Suggestive Since he donned pants he
has taken to base ball, and has had the
honor Of being the captain OF manager Of
a nine" ever season since he could
throw ball over a fence. He was not
only honored and respected by those Of
his class, but the idol Of the smaller sets,
in whose opinion no one could be relied
upon lust like "Chet." In short, he was
born leader Of Qittle) men, and seldom
indeed were it ever thought worth while
to appeal from his expressed judgment.
All his life he has stood as a guiding
star and counselor Of his associates lured
by the tempting influences Of wrong, and
since publicly accepting Christ as his
guide and joining the church. he has been
a quiet but persistent worker among his
associates for the master.
His ambition was to attain an educa-
ton, and he was quick in most Of his
studies, though his progress was frequent
" retarded by attacks Of illness and also
by his uncomfortable devotion, when in
health, to the innocent sports Of the play
ground. One incident suggestive Of his
character: He was member OF the
graduating class in the Tupelo public
schools last winter. On account OF three
spells Of illness which kept him from his
studies over a month"; he did not succeed
in his examinations as he wished. The
opportunity was offered him, after he had
been unanimously chosen valedictorian Of
the class, to give him special examlna-
ton that he might attain the coveted
goal. This he declined with the remark
that he could not gain the honor on the
merits Of his studies he could not afford
to accept it at all. He declined to take
the special examination. Another Incl
dent touching his character | cannot pass

a TRIBUTE BY HIS FATHER

an anxious father | asked him if he could
not find better associates, saying did
not ike to have him subjected to that
which felt were bad influences. His
reply closed my lips for all future time on
that subject. He said: That boy has
good in him. He may have done things
| would not like to do, but | cannot cut
him nor slight hing. He likes me and |

boy has been benefited by his kindly as
sociatons. Throughout his life Gan re-
call similar traits Of character, and they

grandeur as to make me ashamed OF my
own life when compared with that Of
this magnificent son permitted TO be with
me even for short time 10 show me
what it means to always look for and de-
ny any but the good in life's pathway.
Surely the mysteries Of this world are
beyond the understanding Of feeble man.
That such young life should be cut
short while all about are permitted to re-
main those in every way opposite to his,
can only be reconciled with the ac-
acknowledgement that we are not to know.
Yet, in all our anguish and paroxysms Of
woe, there comes the thought that Gods
will, not ours must be, and we can only
bow our heads in humble submission
What a comforting thought, even from
the weakness Of our oppression, that the
precious boy while iourneying through
his earthly life, was spared the sorrows,
the heartaches imposed upon SO many.
He was spared such blow as that which
has Just fallen upon the home into which
his life always brought unaIloyed Joy.
The awfulne8s Of the grief in the crushed
home circle is too intense to attempt OF
description, too tender for the public eye.
He seemed to assure us ever that his
short span Of life was onejof sunshine, Of
happiness and pleasure. SO far as they
could be obtained in the humble position
Of those he loved most and best All

The sweet and tender sympathies
manifested by the entire community dur
ing his illness and throughout the trying
hours Immediately following until his pre-
cious remains were laid to rest in Glen
wood Cemetery, are no more erasable
than the stars above us. Such kindly
Offices cannot be acknowledged in words.
From the hour Of his attack throughout
the fourlweeks Of fever the ladies Of the
city never permitted the flowers to wither
in his window, and when the last sad
rites were paid his casket was hidden
beneath the most beautiful wreaths and
boquets Of richest design. The ladies',
his young men friends, the band boys,
all striving to Guido the others in tender
offerings Every solace possible to tighten

On August lth 1907, this young man who

long and useful manhood, and made beautiful
profession Of his faith in Christ, and was received
into the membership Of this church.

our last tribute Of love and respect 10 his kfeless
remains.
But we weep not as those who have no hope.
for we are assured that the life so we'll begun on
earth will have its full fruition in Heaven.
'Elope is an anchor Of the soul both sure and
steadfast that entereth within the veil" and to-
day he lies peacefully resting upon the bosom Of
the waters Of the haven Of rest.
His life was clean manly but need moi
pause here to extol his virtues, for his life was an
open book before us all. and we have read his
brief career, page by page as il unfolded before
us, and found therein no blot or stain. An afec-
tionate brother and du6ful son. a courteous and
considerable companion, he holds place in our
hearts not easily efaced.
Some will say: rs il not pity such life
should be so soon cut off ?" No. His work
was finished. God works in mysterious way
His wonders to perform. and He that doeth all
things wisely and we'll had fulfilled His purposes
with him. We cannot understand but bow in
humble submission to Divine wisdom for THY

Young men, you who knew him and loved
him, mark we'll his example. Twas not so much
the lite he lived that won for him Immortality,
but Tor the faith in Christ which he professed
and which was revealed by his life Immeasur-
ably wise was he in that he believed in Christ,
and believing in Him he hath Everlasting Life.
In Chesters departure this church loses de-
