HON. J. E. BUSH DEAD.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 15.-Hon. ].
e. Bush, Republican leader, philan-
thropist, orator and organizer, died at
his home this week and was buried
Thursday. He had been i'll for some
time and his death was expected. Mr..
Bush was founder of the National Or
der of Mosaics and was secretary
from the time of its organization until
his death. Through him the order
spread into every state in the south.
AS IN organizer the late Dr.. Booker
T. Washington said he was in a class
alone. At all the meetings of the
National Business Mems League, DIR.
Washington reserved Mr.. Bush to go
after members for life membership,
which costs SIS. He was a stalwart
Republican, having been omitted States
land receiver for IL years, succeeding
the late Judge Muffin Gibbs. Mr.. Bush
was a Baptist and Republican" as he
often said in many of his speeches.
The Arkansas Baptist College, of
which he was a liberal patron, and the
First Baptist church, of which he was
a member, have been greatly benefited
by his life. J. Z. Bush was easily the
largest figure in this state since the
death of Judge Gibbs. He was the
cause of the monster Mosaic building
being erected at Ninth and Broadway.
He was a delegate to every Republican
state convention to past forty years
and was elected delegate-at-large to
Mckinley for president. He leaves a
wife, n daughter and two sons. He
is estimated to be worth $250,000.

to the incorporation OF the Gospel
message into human lives. The
word OF God is never fully revealed
until that word becomes flesh.
To four men was this task COM
mitted, that they should write lives
OF Christ; but TO four hundred mil
lion men is the duty committed Of
living lives Of Christ. The written
Gospel was limited in its writing TO
men who lived near TO the facts, and
who were able TO gather the mater
ial from those who had been in per-
sonal relations with the historic
Jesus. But there is no such limita-
ton upon men who are TO live the
Gospel. II is for them TO establish
such relations with the living Christ
that they may be living Gospels.
Who ever said that there must be
four gospels and no more? II there
can be four, there may be forty mil
lion. Four written Gospels are all
the world needs. But il needs an
unlimited number Of the other kind.
We are told in the beginning Of
the Gospel according to John that
the word was made fesh-the flesh
Of our Lord Jesus Christ. or Him,
pre-eminently that saying was true
but there is nothing in the Bible
that should lead us TO suppose that
His was the only flesh that could
incarnate the living word. On the
contrary, we are assured that as He
was in the world, even so are we
also in the world. The word which
became flesh in Him must become
our flesh. We must clothe with our
own personality the living truth Of
God. II is not enough for the pur-
pose Of God that He should express
His truth in the form Of literature.
The truth Of God must be expressed
in terms also Of Life. The truth
which holy men Of old wrote in the
Bible was lived in all its divine
reality in the human flesh Of Jesus
OF Nazareth. II the four books that
tell the story of His life have a right
to be called The Gospel in literature
every life that worthily expresses
the truth of His life is also q living
gospel. Literature is in order to
light, and the word which in the
Holy Bible is taught was all Gods
truth as there set forth in order that
the world may have revealed the
living gospel of the Son Of God ex-
pressed thru the lives of men and
women such as you and me.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT

Whereas. on the 18th day OF Feb
ruary, 1916. in the unknown, yet wise
providence OF Almighty God. il has
pleased Him To take from the walks
81 man, the Rev. J. p. Bicknell. who
is well known TO. and dearly beloved
by the entire brotherhood OF the
Christian church at Albany, Ky.
Brother Bicknell held a meeting for
the Albany church in 1910, being
with us from February TO March
I Of that year. In this meeting there
was quite a number OF conversions
and a great awakening with the
membership. We think Brother
!. Bicknell must have visited every
home in our town and very much
endeared himself 10 the people here.
Brother Bicknell visited our town
twice at later dates and did some
preaching here each time. always
anxious 10 be about his Fathers
business, and now that he is gone
we feel that our loss is heavens
eternal gain.
Therefore be il resolved by the
church at Albany: fist. That in the
death OF Bro. J. p. Bicknell the
Church OF Christ, especially in Ken
lucky, has sustained a great loss
and one much deplored.
End, That we believe an able min
lister and wise counselor is gone,
whose place in both house and
church will be hard TO flll
3rd, That through these resolu-
tions. the church at Albany, Ky.
extends its sympathy 10 the bereav-
ed family.
