REV. J. p. HlLBURN LOSES HIS
MOTHER

Mothers Day, with all its tender
memories, was duly celebrated at
Southern College. Dr. Russell, in
well chosen words, paid loving trib-
ute to motherhood, and pointed out
the duty of children to her who gave
them being.
At the close of the day, President
Hilburn said: Mothers Day! 1t is
most fitting that should observe this
day, as it is my mothers first day in
Heaven" And he paid loving trib-
ute to the dear mother then lying in
her far away Texas home asleep in
Jesus" Those who knew the life of
this noble mother in Israel" as re-
fiected in the beloved president, felt
the truth of his words as he portray
ed her lovely Christian character.
The writer, who for three years has
stood closer to Dr. Hilburn than any
other in a knowledge of the inner vi
tai work of Southern College, feels
that the success of this institution
of the church is due in no small meas
ure to the devoted zeal of Mother Hill
burn, and the careful Christian train
ing of her children.
Sister Hilburn had reached the ripe
age of &c, and with her husband, Rev
A. S. Hilburn, now nearing 80 years
of age, lived in Rising Star, Texas.
OF the five children living three of the
four boys were guided by her into
the ministry. and the other, Hon. Sam
]. Hilburn, state senator, is one of
Florida's strongest and most liberal
laymen.
Saturday afternoon a telegram an
nounced the serious illness of Sister
Eilburn, and a few minutes after an
other briefly said: Your mother is
dead" II our church could have seen,
as l saw, the struggle of a great soul
between a tender love 10 mother and
devotion to a God-given work, it
might the more truly appreciate the
worth and sacrifice of DR.. Hilburn as
president of Southern College. At
this close OF the school year, with the
election Of the faculty which is to
carry on the great work of Chris
tian educataiOn and the discussion
and the shaping of vital financial pol
icies with the board of trustees,
which meets next Friday, DR.. Hilburn
recalled. his mothers injunction to
first discharge your duty to God and
the church" Indeed, this sentiment
was repeated in the last letter her
dear hands penned to him. Mother
love pleaded for a visit home, and
then enjoined devotion to duty

may occur, and the victim is often
weighed down by a feeling of languor
and fatigue Neglect these warnings
and there is danger of dropsy,
Briht's disease or gravel. Any one
of these symptoms is warning. enough
to begin treating the kidneys at once.

open shops. a long and bitter struggle is
feared There is danger too, OF the fight
spreading TO other industries
The lockout involves 10000 weavers, and
nearly an equal number or spinners will
be reduced TO half pay. There are indica-
tions already Of probable complications
through the introduction Of the question
or wages This move has been taken by
the weavers, who assert that they intend
to make an advance of per cent in wages

The weekly loss in wages TO the weavers
and allied workers, spnners and cardroom
employees is estimated at $4,000 The
weavers will receive roughly $4,000 lockout
pay from the union.
