FRIENDSHIP LASTED
TO THE GRAVE
TWO MEN MET IN A GAMBLING
HOUSE. ONE BECAME THE OTH-
ER'S PASTOR.

Eighteen years ago Tom Davis was
running a gambling house in the city
of Gainesville. A man named Tom
Beckham came into the house and
bought few chips and played games.
He came again and again. The two
men became fast friends. AS time
wore on Tom Beckham professed re-
ligion and joined the Methodist
church He studied for the ministry
and afterward became pastor of the
Denton Street Methodist church in
his home city. Tom Davis, too, tired
of gambling he saw the nothingness
of the game his heart turned to the
spiritual and to the real things of
life and he became a member of Mr..
Beckham's church. The men were
friends when neither thought of a re-
ligious life, and they were better
friends when they turned face about
and dey oted their lives to the cause
of Christ. Last Saturday Mr. Davis,
at the age of "A passed away. He suf-
fered an illness which lasted for II
weeks. The pastor was at his side to
comfort him and when death came
and burial followed, the pastor
preached the funeral sermon of his
old friend. Mr.. Davis was a confed-
crate soldier, for 81 years he lived in
Cooke county. He is survived by
