OBITUARY.

Tabitha Thomas Barnes, daughter
of Alfred and Helen Barnes, was
born at Winchester, Kentucky, De-
cember 2, 1928. She was married to
Daniel II. Mildred of Pennsylvania,
May 27, 1852. In 1853 they moved |
to Missouri and located on the broad |
prairie near HattOn, Galloway coun- ,
ty. where they lived until the fall of
1895, when she moved to Mexico,
Mo. Her husband died May "a,
1894. On Wednesday morning, at 5 |
a. M, July 10, 1916, the Grim Reap
er touched her with his icy hand
and her spirit took its fight to the
God who gave it.
She is survived by one brother,
John Barnes, of Dover, Colo, and
one sister, Mrs. Fannie CoOns, of
Mexico, Mo-, 20 grandchildren, four
great-grandchildren and the follow
Ling eight children: Mrs. l.. II. Sip

Aunt Bite" was very hOspitable.
In an early day when homes were far
apart and travelling difficult, her
home was a welcome refuge for all
who asked shelter. How the nieces
and nephews loved to visit there!
1t was a delightful place for the
grandchildren.
She united with the church at the
age of IL and lived consistent
Christian. Her life was a grand eX-
ample of what happy Christians
should be. Hers was no solemn
manner assumed on Sundays, but she
lived each day in happy, simple faith
and trust in her Lord. Tho she has
passed on, her influence has gone out
for good and will live always. She
was good wife, a loving mother and
a kind neighbor, always ministering
to those in need. Tho an invalid for
several years, she bore her suffering
with great patience, never murmur-
ing at her lot.
1t was the privilege of all her
children to be present in her last
sickness, but all that loving hands
could do could not keep her, and
she went away.
In that glad day when all things
are made new, and all tears are wip-
ed away, she will greet us in her
heavenly mansions, in that beautiful
city whose builder and maker is God
A short prayer service was held at
the home at $3.50, Thursday, and
Rev. S. w. Hayne, of the NJ. l..
Church, South, conducted the funer-
al services at the Pleasant Grove
Church, near Hatton. Old friends
and neighbors and loved ones were
gathered to pay their last tribute to
beautiful character. Six of her
grandsons were pallbearers. The
floral offerings were beautiful.

There is no death! What seems SC

This life of mortal breath
Is but a suburb of the Life
Elysian,

In Heavens stiffness and seclusion
By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sins

Efficiency Campaign Among The
Audrain County Baptist Churches
Rev. o. olin Green in Baptist Message.

lonia and Brother Lowe Joined us
there. We had an interesting meet
ing. This fine little church is now
pastor. We hope they may
be able to find one soon.
Thursday our team was to have |
gone to Benton City and Martinsburg |
but the meetings were called of as
was the meeting at Zion Church.
So we combined both teams and
went to Pleasant Plains and what a
splendid meeting we did have! Ad-
dresses were made by Miss Lucy
Brown, Miss Kirtly, Miss Lake and
Rev. L. b. Arvin who composed Bro.
Arvin's team. (Brethren T. II.
White, r. l.. White and ]. s. Arvin
were with him Sunday and Monday
Speeches were made also by Mr.. f.
A. Shannon, Mrs. Guthrie and your
pastor. Mr.. r. NJ. Shannon, father
of Hon. Z. A. Shannon, madea spirit
ed address. There are some choice
were with him Sunday and Monda)
without a pastor. Bro. Lowe made
an appeal to parents who would be
willing for their children to become
missionaries at home or abroad. A
number responded Then he asked
how many of the young people would
volunteer to become missionaries and
there was response from several.
Bro Lowe did this at all of the meet
ings and during the campaign there
were about 25 young people who vol
unteered for missionary service
This one fact alone is worth all
the effort that was expended on the
campaign 1t indicates that there
is no little missionary spirit among
the young people of our churches.
This fact should make us consider
I prayerfully as to whether or not we
are doing our whole duty to the mis-
sionary cause. Our young people
are willing to give their lives. Are
we willing to gve our money?
At the close of the meeting Bro.
l.. b. Aryin made a powerful appeal
for more prayer and a deeper con-
secration. 1t was appropriate and
made us feel that we all need to
come closer to God.
1t will be impossible to measure
the results of the campaign. We
believe it has meant much to the
spiritual life of our people. 1t was
a means of imparting information
about our denominatiOnal work
which is so much needed in all oul
churches. We had many charts with
which to illustrate the needs and
conditions at home and on the for
egn fields. Problems relating to
the life of the particular church Wis
tied were discussed. For the first
time manyof our country churches
} were visited by a real live foreign
; missionary. That alone was of grea
value to our people. The churche!
that did not have the campaign anC
the pastors who did not throw them
selves heartily into it are the losers
We deeply regret this. We hope
/ however, that at some future time
we can have another campaign at {
} more favorable time, If that can b,
} found, and that every church, ever!

among the Baptist churches of Au
Train county this week. Considering
The warm weather. the busy season,
and other hindrances which are like
ly to arise in movement Of this
kind, the campaign was decided
success. Meetings were held at
three churches on Suuday-MeXico,
Vandalia, and Molino. Dr. J. w.
Lowe was heard at all of these meet
ings and the people were greatly i'm
pressed with his messages. Other
brethren were also heard on these
occasions. This was a good start
and during the week many good
meetings were held.
On Monday our team had a fine
day at New Hope. DR.. Million, DR..
Lowe, Mrs. Guthrie, Mrs Jones and
your pastor were present. The au-
dience was not large but they were
interested We enjoyed an elegant
spread at the noon hour and the day
was pleasantly and prontably spent.
At night we were rained out at
Hopcwell but to compensate for that
meeting was held Friday night.
Bro. l.. b. Arvin and his team re-
ported good meetings at Corinth
and Perry. They were especially de-
lighted with the reception at Perry.
We were to have gone to Beaver
Dam Tuesday but as they had three
threshing machines in the ncighbor-
hood it was thought best not to have
the campaign until later. At Union
we had a good meeting in the even.
ing. Addresses were made by Mrs
Guthrie, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. w. w
Pollock, and Dr. Lowe. The attend
ance was very good. The sisters
and a few of the brethren came with
a bountirul lunch and then little
later the brethren came in from the
fields They had never had for
eign missionary with them and DR.
Loves message thrilled their hearts
The other teams had good meet
ings at Littleby ana "arber excep
they reported it little chilly, at tht
latter place.
ON Wednesday we held al all-day
meeting at West Cuiyre where tn,
Association is to meet this fall
was very hot and dry there as the!
have had no rain recently. A spir
it of carnestness characterized thi
meeting. Addresses were made b!
Mrs. Guthrie on various phases o
Womans Work. And Mr.. L. A. Shan
on delivered a splendid address Ol
Church Finances" He spoke iron
experience and that is why his ad
dress was 50 well received. The lac
that he had been elected to the Leg
islature may have added little ar
dor to his address. Your pastor mad

good people entertained us we nee
have no fears as to how we shal

Bro. ArVins team met their frs

they, in company with Bro. Lowe
went to Bethlehem church and II

that they We're too busy. 1t was
