more evidences of his faith in God.
He leaves a devoted wife who

brothers, with many friends and

know~that while the home on earth

We believe he is not dead but has
only taken possession of real life,
life everlasting. We must not sor-
row because he is gone from us, but
rejoice in the thought of the bright
crown all FURNISHED for him, the
mansion made ready, the white robe
prepared for him, there is eternal
glory foor him. God is able to do
much and lasting good from this
noble Christian life he has lived,
with the many earnest prayers he
has lifted to our Lord. We pray that
his loving Christian influence toward
God may bear much fruit in years
to come thru the lives, Of his dear
children. And may God be rich in
blessings to the dear wife and chill
dren. Just few more troubles.
Just few more days till we'll clasp
his hand in a brighter home where
there be no more goodbye.

In Loving Memory.

Our Lord in his infinite wisdom
saw fit to call from earth to glory
the spirit of A. B. London on Sun
day morning, April z, 1918, making
an end of pain and affiiction which
he had borne with cheerfulness and
without complaint for the last two
years. OF course he had desire to
live longer with his dear companion
and little children, but had express
ed himself several times as willing
and ready to go if it was the Lords
will. AS life was almost gone, with
feeble voice, he repeated Paul's
words, 81 am now ready to be offer
ed, and the time of my departure is
at hand. have fought good fight,
have finished my course, / have
kept the faith; henceforth there is
laid up for me crown of righteous
ness"
His body was laid to rest in Mar
tin Cemetery.
Barry, as we say, was born near
Crystal in Obion County, Tenn, on
April %, 1862, making him As years,
IL months and IL days. When a
young man he married Miss Sue
Russell, of near Union City. He
professed faith in Christ early in
manhood and joined the Missionary
Baptist Church. A few years ago
he felt impressed that the Lord had
called him to preach the Gospel. He
was ordained as minister at Bethel
Church. Very soon he moved his
family to Martin, Tenn. for the pur-
pose of preparing himself more fully
to preach the gospel and be more
useful in leading sinners to Christ.
This seemed his greatest desire to
be used by the Lord. His health
soon failed him, which kept him
from preaching as he desired, but
he did much personal work which
we feel did much and lasting good.
We will ever cherish with sacred
thoughts the memories of his being
in our home so often, the happy and
cheerful disposition he possessed,
full of Christian religious influence.
His whole conversation being on the
Bible. How he gave SO many passages
of scripture so beneficial to the
Christian in every day life. Also
