H Many telegrams and letters came
Afrom friends expressing loving sym
#pathy. They are all treasured and viii?
$be cherished by those of US who arr
@left as priceless possessions. Among
#these was a telegram from the Rev.
INV. L. Seabrook, of Westminster, Nd.
swho was a former pastor, and who
was with the family as they walked
h Through the deep shadow Of thSo heavy
NsorroW nine years ago next month.
u Mr.. Seabrook, from heart filled With
\ love, flashed this message to my faith
n er from his home far up in Maryland
on that dark Friday night only three
Tor four days ago:
my heart full of sorrow, sympathy
Rand love tonight. Memory takes me
@back to that night when you and your
\ &wife counted me worthy to walk with
Ayou as friend and pastor through
Darkness Thank you for letting me
Rbe with you now in thought. Would
u I could be by your side. God comfort
4 you all, is my sincere prayer"
OF the many other letters and tele-
grams that T would like to mention.
lone came to me from Ralph Grier, at
II sAbbeville, with whom several years
kago T worked on the News and Cour-
Her in Charleston. I want a little it,
Rdulgence to quote one paragraph fro%
kGrier: "I know the horrible empti-
K mess of house in which there is no
@mother, and I know what the empty
$chair means, and my heart aches for
Ryou in your grief-r.y mother died
Eabout two years ago and only this
Kmorning, in packing a trunk, T found
Rsome Of her letters to me, and T read
them and realized again what I had
n lost when she passed away. So, my
boy, I offer you the sympathy Of one
who has been through the same val
Hey"
n And Just another sentence from a
letter from Wigfall Cheatham, Of
Edgefeld:
& II do hope and trust that her noble,
@gentle life will ever be an inspiration
U to you to influence and direct your
kpathway throughout your allotted
Rtime."
And this is the end. Possibly have
written gone details which will not be
gof general interest to the public. I
have wanted simply to pay little tri-
butte, in some small measure worthy
Kand to let the hundreds Of friends who
have been with US i'm the dark hours
LOT anguish know that the comfort and
solace which they have brought have
khe1ped. At this time the road seems
Every long, and the bleakness looms
4 largely in the view. But time, I sup
@pose, will soften, and bring partial
Il surcease to the sorrow of the soul
And we know the flowers of love which
kshe left along the pathway which she
ktrod will continue to grow in lowell
$ness and will give forth fragrance
(which shall be everlasting. Memory
H bears US back to earlier and happy
#days, and there is sweet comfort in
1.-THE recollection of every day which
Kshe lived, even on back to the time
8when recollection fails.
