ENLISTMENT INSTITUTE AT
BAPTIST CHURCH

One of the best things religiously
that has been in Cookeville was the
Enlistment Institute at the Baptist
Church last Monday and Tuesday.
Subjects of absorbing interest. not on
ly to Baptists but to other denomina-
tions as we'll were discussed by DIR.
John NJ. Anderson of Morristown,
State Enlistment Secretary and other
able team that cane with him. The
eloquence of Anderson, the burning in
vective of Wauford, the calm and con-
fident assurance of Davenport, and the
logic of Estes left an impression on
all who heard them Though classed
as one of the weaker churches in the
town, the Baptist church is doing it's
best to provide the very best for all
who attend its services.

EDNA SMITH HOLLADAY
1004-1o1S

The many friends of Edna Smith
Holiday were shocked and grieved
to learn of her sudden death at her
home near Algood, March A, 1915. She
was Ill only a, few days, and was not
thought to bo in a dangerous condition
until few minutes before her death.
Threre has never been in Algood a
girl more beloved tnan Edna was, and
as her mothers very near neighbor
when she was just blooming into wo-
manhood, | can say truly that have
never known a more unselfsh, devoted
dauphter, and | am sure she has prov
en- the same as :, wife and mother. She
was Away thinking and doing for the
comfort Of others, even at a sacrifice
to herself, and those sacrifices were
made cheerfully and willingly So
many of us can do for others in CON-
planning and frowning way, but the
spirit of the person who always does
things for others cheerfllly, and with
ut thought of self, is a grand and
beautiful spirit, and that was the spirit
of Edna Holiday, and her sweet loving
thoughtful presence will be sadly miss
ed by her husband, her flve children
and father, mother, brother and sisters,
who have been left to mourn her loss.
ITO the giver shall be given
II thou wOuldst walk in light
Make other spirits bright;
Who. seeking for himself alone,
ever entered heaven?
In blessing we are blessed,
In labor we find rest;
five bend not to the worlds work,
heart and hand and brain,
We have lived our life in vain"
If the above quotation be true, we
can surely know that the lovely life Of
Edna Holiday was not lived in vain,
and as she has given out so abundantly
of good works for others, never think
ing Of any self gain, so may she now
be given abundantly of the good gifts
in the heavenly kingdom, and sweet
est rest and peace forevermore
Even as thou wilt, SO be it unto thee.
Thy heart the measure Of the grace
shall be-"
