OBITUARY..

On Wednesday, Jan. n, 1916 the death
angel visited the home of Mrs. G. w.
Hatten and took her dear companion.
His death was due to Brights disease,
complicated with la grippe and hepatic
troubles. He leaves a wife, mother.
SONS and 2 daughters. Weep not, dear
ones, but prepare to meet him where
there will be no sad parting. He comes
as near the standard of the perfect man
as any man have ever known. | never
heard from his lips an unchastic or I'M
kind ward. Nor did | know him to per-
form an unworthy act. 1t is not often
one can stand by the bier of the dead
and say all that is in his heart in the
way of eulogy of character without
danger of exaggeration, but in his case
there need be no fear. In bearing he
was always gentlemanly and modest
The end of such war was peace. There
is no room for doubt, though at the last
moment he may have uttered no word
of testimony. His life was a witness to
the saving power of the gospel.
We have lost a friend and brother.
Earth will be poor by his absence but
heaven will be richer by his presence.
A little further on we will meet again.
A FRIEND.

Sweet Minded Women.

So great is the influence Of sweet
minded woman on those around her
that IL is almost boundless. The hus-
band comes home worn out with pres
sure OF business and feeling irritable
with the world in general; but when
he enters the coy sitting room and
sees the blaze of the bright fire, he sue
combs in moment to the soothing in
fuences which act as balm OF Gilead
To his wounded spirit. We all are
wearied with combating with the stern
realities OF life. The rough schoolboy
flies in a rage from the taunts OF his
companions TO find solace in his moth
er's smile; the little one, full OF grief
with its own large troubles. finds a
heaven Of rest In its mothers breast;
and so one might go on with instances
OF the influence that a sweet minded
woman has In the social life with which
she is connected. Beauty is an insig-
nIficant power when compared with
hers.

somewhere. We later learned that he

wasn't too proud to fight. A few days
later he looked over our shoulder and

Some weeks ago, Rev. ]. B. Gam
brell, secretary of the executive board
of the Southern Baptist convention,
asked permission to have held series
of revivals in the camps along the
border. As was to be expected, the
very unreasonable request was refus-
ed. Every regiment has it's chaplain
and religious services, which the men
are at liberty to attend if they see
fit; also, men can generally obtain
leave to attend churches in the vicin-
ity of their camps, but a revival in a
camp would not fit in with military
discipline, as any reasonable man
should know DIR. Gambrell took the
position that the soldiers were in par
ticular need of saving. In an eight
page letter to DR.. Gambrell, General
Funston gives emphatically the reas-
ons for his refusal to allow revivals
in the camps. He scores DIR. Gambrell
for misinterpreting the reasons for
his refusal and takes the part of the
soldier, saying, "They are no more
lost than civilians and on the whole
| are above the average"

it is little bit shoy on that loan law.
Loaning the money will be more or
less in the hands of politicians, and
they will not be as careful in making

These good ladies who don't want
their sons to learn drill in the public
schools had better study the following
from General Scott of the United
States army: "There is no reason" he
says, "why one woman's son should
so out and defend or be trained to de-
fend another woman and her son who
refuses to take training or give SER
vice. The only democratic method is
for every man in his youth to become
trained in order that he may render
efficient service if called upon in war"
