Practical Christianity.

DR.. Quisenberry has an idea that il
christianity is not practical, its worth
very little. He believes that the gospel
appeals to body. mind and soul. That
the ministry of the church is three fold,
and its mission is to minister 10 mans
every need. Many have caught his
spirit and are asking him to point out
those who may be in need OF help. The
requests are so numerous, that he has
decided to open the doors Of his church
for the receipt of food, clothing money
and in fact any thing that may be used
TO relieve the poor and suffering. Many
of the good people in the country have
expressed a willingness to send dressed
turkeys, hens and chickens, meat etc.
One man has promised to send a whole
pig. DIR. Quisenberry has asked the
ladies of his church and congregation TO
help in this work. Donations of toys
will be gladly received. Any clothing
that may be altered will be gladly made
over and placed where it will do most
good. The gifts OF the people will be
carefully distributed regardless of class
or condition. Baskets and bundles will
be carefully made up and delivered on
Wednesday, Xmas eve. If you want to
help in this work call DIR. Quisenberry
by phone or write him saying what you
wish to do. If you know of case oil
need call his attention to it. He desires
any one in want or in trouble to come tc
him promptly. If you wish TO be really
happy, suppose you lend hand in
this spleudin work of love. Do it now
All donations must be in on
| Tuesday the twenty-third. Tell DIR
Quisenberry right now what he may
expect from you. Drop him a card, Of

held it's memorial services at the First
Christian church Sunday afternoon at
o. clock The members Of The order
congregated at their headquarters and
marched to the church in body. where
large concourse of visitors and friends
had assem- bled TO witness the solemn
and impressive ceremonies. Palms,
ferns and flowers graced the altar OF the
handsome new edifice, and the ceremo-
MES were unquestionably the most beau
tiful and impressive ever held by the
local lodge. Hon. John holland, Exalted
Ruler, was master of ceremonis and per-
formed his functions with grace and dig
nifty. Mrs. g. w. Pickles whose magic
touch on the keeps of the great pipe or

strains of music, and the singing was
souLinspiring and elevating. The solo

and the trio rendered by Misses rraynor,
Bright and Traynor.

by Kentucky's gifted and silver tongued
orator, Hon. Harry A. Schoberth, of Yer

dinal principles of the Order, Friend
ship. Charity, Brotherly Love, and FL
deity" The gifted and matchless orat or
in thirty minutes speech discussed the
grandeur and beauty of the teachings of
the Order of Elks, and thrilled and
charmed his audience by his eloquent
and mastery discourse. Mr.. Schoberth
is of pleasing personality. a great legal
light, a famed orator, and one of the
best beloved fraternal men in the State.
The invocation and benediction were
pronoun ced by Rev. Mr.. Horton, pastor
Of the M E. Church, Sluth, and were
both beautiful and helpful to all present.

hours before the solemn, beautiful and
impressive ceremonies were performed
by the living, who met to pay graceful
and loving tribute to departed worth.
Sweet memories will long cluster
around the hearts Of the Sc friends who
attended the beautiful services Sunday

pressed each and all with the thought
that death with impartial footsteps
knocks alike at the door of the poor

Smith Oldham Dies After A
LINGERING Illness.

The death of Mr.. Smith Oldham,
which occurred in the early hours OF
SATURDAY. morning, is one OF peculiar
sadness and brings sorrow TO many De-
yond the confines of his immediate fam
lily. Having contracted tuberculosis
MANY years ago, Mr.. Oldham made
brave but losing battle against the raw
ages of this dreaded malady. The past
four winters we're spent In the west,
and with spring he would return with
his faithful wife, hoping against nope
for an indication of improvement In his
health. His family and friends were
powerless 10 contribute one iota toward
restoring to his paid cheeks The hue OF
health, yet every thing was done TO ALE
viate his sufferings, and with the inevl-
table staring him IN the face, smith
Oldham never once indicated the least
fear or apprehension of the sleep which
knows no dreams. He passed out of this
life as tired child falls asleep, sur
rounded by his faithful wife and devot-
ed father and mother. Smith Oldham
was SO years of age and was the last OF
four children born to Mr.. and Mrs. SAINT
Oldham. About eight years ago he was
married to Miss Allie Cobb, daughter OF
the late Zena Cobb, and is survived by
his wife and parents. Funeral services
were conducted at the residence. on the
Lexington pike, Sunday morning at 10
O'Clock by Rev. Williams, pastor of
the Red House Methodist church, the
intermenJ taking place in Richmond
Cemetery. The floral offerings were the
most beautiful ever seen in this city,
and completely hid from view the cruel
cash made in mother earth, where re-
pose the form of the faithful and loving
husband and devoted son. To the be-
reaved family the sympathy OF all who
knew Smith Oldham is tenderly ex-
tended.
