do this, we want to consider few
things that produce really spiritual
character-mOther, home and church.
julius was stranger to his own
dear mother, who possessed strong
spiritual nature and was active in
every department of christian service
but was exceedingly fortunate in hav-
ing another who joined hands with
his good father in giving him a
christian home and christian instruc-
ton Her personal testimony of his
regard for her at all times is most
interesting to hear.
Julius joined the Methodist church
in childhood under the ministry Of
Rev. Fred Little. He was regular
contributor to the church in her
needs, and did this not because he
was a member. but because he had
high regard for the place the
church has in the world. He may
have missed the way at times--who
of us have not-but there comes that
comforting and consoling fact from
his own testimony when he was last
at home for a brief visit that he was
moving the upward road.
The body was brought from Dallas
on Monday, October %, and had as
military escort his personal friend
Cadet Scenter Crook son of DIR. Crook
of Jackson, Tenn. The remains were
held until Tuesday pending the ar
rival of his brother, Lieut.. J. d.
Benham, from Camp Dodge, Iowa.
The funeral was held from the
home of his sister, Mrs. o. G. Nor
ment, the pastor, Rev. Jno. A. Wo-
mack, and Rev. w. X. Johnston OF
the Presbyterian church, in charge.
The music was in charge of Mrs. w.
S. Atkins. Two most beautiful selec-
tions were rendered in the home; a
solo, Zone Sweet Solemn Thought"

The floral offerings were perhaps
the most beautiful ever made in this
city. Great wreathes, and beautiful
