And as they covered it with the
sods of earth, may any who
might not have been his friend
also cover with the mantle of
charity his earthly shortcomings,
whate'er they may have been,
and keep bright in the lime light
of memory his many good deeds,
and may we always emulate his
virtues that we may be better
fitted to meet him and our other
loved ones on the other side.
In the presence of such a sor-
row how cold and impotent are
words and how doubly deep
would be the grief over the grave
did not the rainbow of Christian
hope span the dark gulf between
time and eternity, and such pure,
bright lives inspire the belief
that there is a better world be-
yond, where, free from the cares
of earth, the good and the true
are reunited, after life's ftful
fever. - WALTER w. RANEY.

EXTRACT OF AN ADDRESS
Continued from front page)

word was as good as his bond; a
man of sterling integrity.
Hartwell Thomas Raney came
up with the civic life of our town
his name being on the petition
asking for the rights of incorpor-
alton in 1890. He has held nine
commissions as mayor, most of
bis work being done without pay.
He ever. worked not for pay, but
for the common veal. He put
his life's blood into the building
of McCrorv. There was not a
selfish drop of blood in H. T.
Raney, who was big of body, big
of heart and pure of soul.
Brother Raney was a staunch
member of Gum Wood Camp No.
1O8, Woodmen of the World,
which good order will tenderly
bear his body to the grave today
where they, as strong brother
choppers, will lay it to rest, and
later will comfort, in more ways
than one, the weeping ones left
behind. Brothers. may you meet
Brother Raney under the trees
of life in heaven.
Forty-three years ago our de-
ceased brother was happily con-
verified and united with the Meth
odist Church, South, coming out
of life of sin, but his was a
complete salvation. He was
never the man to give a half
service to anything, SO he came
into the church, not to shout re-
ligion. but to serve God and his
fellow man. He was not a per-
feet man, yea. a struggling one,
in the dark sometimes, but cry
ing out to God and then climbing
up to higher heights on towards
the City of God.
For Fl years he has been an
ordained local preacher of the
Methodist Church, having re-
ceived his credentials from Bishop
O. P. Fitzgerald. He was a con-
slant support. a loyal helper and
an abiding friend and aid of his
The Home news. (McCrory, Ark.) 1915-1922, 1917-02-09

pastor. He was never the pas
tors critic, but he would have
stood by him, and did do so, till
death. That great big heart of
his just took us in the first time
we met him. We could feel his
love and support from the very
beginning. When his pastor
needed a man in the local pulpit,
he was there ready to do that
work, and it was done acceptably,
for he was man of fervor and
unusual power, power with God
and man. Should the church
need any service, however mental
or however high, Brother Raney
was there to do that with every
power of his being. His means
in very liberal way, his time it
mattered not how much, his labor
to every drop of blood in him were
at the call of God and the church
and a lost world.
Tenderly and tearfully his
hands dressed and prepared the
dead for their last resting place
in the grave. The brokenhearted
found a comforter in Brother
Raney. He wiped away tears
from their eyes, brought joy and
comfort into their hearts, and
pointed them to God and heaven.
He earnestly called sinners to re-
pentance, pointing them to
Christ their Savior, and multi
tudes has he lead home to God.
There were many at that beauti-
full gate watching and waiting
for him and there will be many
stars shining in his crown in
glory, for he has turned many to
righteousness and they shall
shine as the stars forever and
ever. They will rise up from all
over this country and call him
blessed.
We shall all miss this good
The Home news. (McCrory, Ark.) 1915-1922, 1917-02-09

man. His happy face and cheer
full voice will not be heard again.
One could not feel when blue he
was around. He smiled and we
smiled with him and he drove
the clouds away. We are so
sorry he has gone from us and
our hearts ache again, but he
has left us looking up and for
ward, and the angel Of his good
life stands by us today making
us more holy and happier peo-
pie on earth, and pointing us to
the parted heaven and the home
over yonder. We shall all meet
you again Brother Raney, I'm
the sweet bye and bye. +"
O, wife and mother! O, chill
dren and loved ones, crying here
today! He was a tender hus-
band, so gentle and so kind,
loving father in whose heart you
found counsel, support and
strength. Heaven has seemed
near you before when you came
beside that dark river of death
and some dear one went over,
but now you hear sweet voices
of loved ones and YOU hear the
rustic of angelic wings, so near
is heaven, and so good is God.
To the dear loved ones, wife,
daughter and son, all of whom
were at his side when the end
came so peacefully and without
the least struggle, you could not
say good morning to him yester-
day when he went away from
you for a time, but he said Good
morning in heaven to those who
out-stripped him in the heavenly
race, and in a little while you
will see him again, just little
while. and he is so happy. We
are all coming home, Brother
Raney, and shall see you again,
O, happy day!
Servant of God, we'll done!
Rest from thy loved employ,
The battle fought, the victory
won,
Enter thy Masters joy.

FRIDAY, FEB. ., 1917.
Our Father

We have been made sad many
times by the death of some very
close friend and it has been our
duty to write the obituaries of
many but never have we before
realized, as we do now, the eX-
IRENE sadness the bereaved rela-
tives had to undergo.
In the death of our dear father,
H. T. Raney, we realize more
fully every hour that next to
mother our one best friend is
gone. It was he who always
advised US to do that which was
right and more than once, in try
ing to impress upon US the pro-
priety of telling the truth, has be
said, "Son, if at any time to tell
the truth would cause you untold
troubles, tell it. !"
He was an ideal father and ex-
ceedingly good to US, notwith-
standing we at times would op-
pose his wishes or violate his
commands. 1t is pleasant to re-
member that he always entered
his own door with no cloud upon
his brow and no temper in his
heart. There was never a froWn
at the table, or at the morning or
evening meal. He was loving
and companionable to US and it is
a pleasure to us now to think that
ne was not referred to as the
old man."
Make Home Happy" was his
Watch-Word and he could always
turn back with consolation and
pleasure over the green spots in
the wilderness of the past. 1t
was ne who always helped us in
Cme OF need, watched our every
move and was most interested in
our success and as the recollec-
IONS come back to us our eyes
molsten as we realize that all
thls is to be no more.
The love and untiring skill of
'ne conscientious. painstaking
physician were of no avail in try
ing to fight back the ravages of
disease and to avert the newt
aole. The great destroyer had
his slgnet on his brow and today,
;, we VINO loved him living, mourn
him dead.
hlnd friends have lowered all
c"dl remains of our father to his
nllal resting place, to calmly
await the reward of a just God.

THE HOME GUARDS.

Han century ago the name home
guard" came into disreputc because
then It was taununRly applied 20 the
slackers OF that period and 10 those
whose sympathics kept them out of
the war 1t was a brand Of cowardice
and dlsloyalty that decades have
failed 10 eradicate But down here In
the year 1917 we are up against a
different proposition. We have need
for real honest-to- goodness home
guards. and great many men who
are disqualified from military service
can make themselves very useful to
their country and their community
by preparing themselves for service
in local vigilantes u is with this idea
In view that we have seen companies
Of boys and aged men drilling and
practicinE for the work Of defending
the homes which the solder proper
must leave In the care Of other hands.
Under the plan adopted by congress
the really III men I'm each community
will sooner or later most n them be
called 10 the colors. This will leave
our communities bereft Of all protec-
ton except such as can be extended
by the ordinary police powers This
protection may be adequate or IL may
not, according to developments which
we cannot altogether anticipate. We
are not looking for German armies to
invade our peaceful cities or for
Zeppelins TO lombard our inland
towns, but We do look for much diff
ficulty from internal causes and must
be prepared to crush II promptly.
Disloyal agitators have already
showed the facility with which they
can foment strikes in places which
threaten the intimate welfare Of the
people, and snenks have shown great
skill in placing explosives where they
would do the most harm We have
great industries and public works
whore blow would count for the
most damage TO us, and these must
not 90 unprotected when the BOYS 70
marching away from us There is real
work in this war for the home
guard and there will be no disgrace
In the appellation so long As every
man does his duty
