Whereas it has pleased the AL
mighty God to take from among us
on the 18th day of April, 1918, one
whom we have learned to love dear

his voice has been hushed by the
cold hand of death to be heard no
more in this land. 1t is appointed
for man to die yet, we as mortal can
not help but mourn over the loss OF
our loved ones as we go through the
city of Nashville. We will miss him
as we look over the assembly OF
the Tennessee Annual Conference.
We will miss him, his family is lone
ly without him yet it is the hand OF
God and all things must submit to his
will for it is only He that can shut
a door and no one can open. Turner
Normal will Miss him, you will not
hear his voice any more, No more

Is only gone to the God that giveth

mourners, cease to languish over the
graves of those you love. Pain and
death and night and anguish enters
not the heaven above.
So now while our hearts are sad
over the spirit that death hath more

say thy will be done.

unusual record. Judge TERRELL is

He has served sixteen and a half
years consecutively. He has been
connrmed by the Senate five times.
HIS appointments have come from

career as judge he has presided in
many cases of great Importance to
the people of his community. His

For years and years has the Medi-

morbid manifestations of pathologi-

these things that ignorance and sup

the activities of evil spirits. To
counteract these effects, the skins of
frogs, the carcasses Of Lizards, the
bodies of beetles were made into
noxious concotions and drunk with
wry faces, but with steadfast be-
lief that they would cure.
Then came the school of wise phil

that all diseases were the results of

AS the endurable sun speeds along

the grasping of and the dissemina-

Just as the great Marconi searched
the inner resources of nature for a
confirmation of the belief that wire

the realization of his dreams when
the first message was flashed across
the elastic ether; just as the ambi-

always been his custom to do, still he
would stick to his post and it was by
the hardest that he was persuaded
to go to Hubbard Hospital for rest,
in the hope that he might recover
his health. His loss will be felt at
the bank and by the entire Napier
family for long time, and it will
be no easy thing to find one to take
his place.
