SERVANT OF GOD, WELL DONE!

Monday evening there departed this
life one of the most valiant ministers
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1909-07-24

To the Editor of The Statesman:
Dear Sir-I noticed an article Ill
your paper on the date of the l7th
inst. that was headed, Help Our
Own | read the article over anu
then | thought it over, and | believe
that it may do some good in one direc-
ton any way. The writer made The
attempt to show to the two local Or
ganizations their short sightedness
and also to point out their short COM
ings without any knowledge OF the
truthfulness of some of the assertions
contained in the article. | agree with
the writer that neither of these or
ganizations have done all that they
might have done. And why? Tnis
the writer failed to say, or else theJ
don't know. We all know that Christ
died to save the world, but he can't
save single man against his will to
be saved. 1t is just as impossible sor
either of these clubs to be OF any serv-
ice to these young men named or TO
any other unless they show willing
ness on their part to be helped or
worthy of whatever help that these
clubs might render. Without this it is
just like casting your pearls before
swine These young men that are
named in the article, | wish to ask
the writer if they possess any rart
musical ability? This | will answer
in the affirmative. Then | wish to
know 10 what clubs are they men,
bers of? Or to what church cnoir
does the honor belong of having these
young men identified and receiving
the service of their talents? Before
what kind of people are they continu-
ally pouring forth the sweet strain.
of music out of the richness of their
young souls with all the vigor and
youthfulness of their young lives?
Remember that wherever man SOW
his grain that is where he go to reap
the harvest, and the harvest will be
just what they have sown). Is it in
the service of worship to the God
who gave it and TO society as slim
ulus to- the younger ones to follow on
to heights above? Os is it before the
so-called good time fellows who can
see nothing in the future only some
thing that appeals to his peculiar feel
ing for a good time, whatever that
might be? These and many other
questions would furnish good and
wholesome food for thought along
this line. But on the other side of
the picture l see where the various
clubs, societies, etc, can be of great
help to the individual who will be-
come identified with it, give his help
and assistance toward perfecting it in
order that he may receive his reward
when the time is at hand. Let us be
willing to labor in seed time in order
that we share in the harvest, for no
man receives his reward until after
the labor. Join the l. G. A. or the
Choral Club, whatever your calling
may be; help them to boost the other
fellow and you will surely reap If you
faint not Yours truly,
FRIEND.

of the gospel in the whole Western
country, in the person of Rev. J. II.
Hubbard, one of the oldest and best
known of the minister's of the African
Methodist Episcopal church. Some
seven weeks ago he returned to the
city to make his home with his daugh
ter, Mrs. Esther Morris, after having
spent a while in California with his
other children in vain hope to i'm
prove his health. From that time he
has constantly failed, and at last the
sufferings in the close of the list
year of his life. His last days were
spent as becomes Christian war
rior in Frightening up the old armor
that had done him such good and
faithful service for life time. Prayer
was his constant solace and though
in this life, yet his eyes were fixed on
his Heavenly home toward which he
had journeyed long.
The funeral services were held at
Shorter church and were attended by
the entire clergy of the city, they serv-
ing as pail bearers also. Presiding
Elder Owens, lifelong friend,
preached the sermon. The service
was most touching. The children pres
ent were Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Will
hanson of Los Angeles. These by the
ties of blood were attached to him,
but there were hundreds of sorrowing
ones among whom as shepherd oil the
flock he had gone in and out for years,
comforting in hours of sorrow, ex-
horting to the higher life in their light
er moments, friend in sickness, unit
ing in marriage. His remains were
laid to rest in Fairmount cemetery
by Undertaken Gilmore.
While grieving over his loss, yet
it is rather to rejoice we should tend,
for he fought the good fight, he had
finished his course and could only at
tain the full triumph of faith through
the chill waters of death. He leaves
to the family and friends who are be-
reaved, and to the cause of the church
the priceless heritage of life spent
in righteousness. For seven years
just preceding his death up until his
bodily powers would not permit him
to serve longer. he was presiding ell
der of this district. In years before
that he had served every principal
churc hin the conference. His more
than forty years in the ministry were
largely spent in the Colorado con-
ference, and his services for 1t have
been recognized by repeated elections
to conference Offices. He was one OF
its most efficient secretaries. So that
while we grieve, yet we rejoice that
he has lived and that he has died
only after he has contributed of the
best he had. His life work completed,
he has gone to give his accounting.
Servant of God, well done.
