The financial problem was still to be
met, but should be met in the Bible
way of thithes and offerings and not
with all sorts of entertainments Of
| the most questionable nature.
Last Saturday, February 10, 1918,
| at p. m, the funeral of Mrs. Eliza
| beth Bays was conducted from the
church. The funeral was of interest to
large circle of friends. Mrs. Bays
had been a member of the church for
many years and her Christian charac-
ter was appreciated by all who came
near her. The Junior Choir sang ap-
| propriate songs and the pastor made
| fitting remarks. One song at the
| funeral of this soldier of the cross
was, Il am going home to die no
more" Her body was laid beside that
of her dear husband, who preceded
| her to the other world many years
! ago.
The funeral of Mr.. R. H. Curran
was conducted by the pastor at p.
m. Tuesday, February 10, 1918. Mr..
| Currans death came in his young
manhood just when life was full Of
| hope and promise. He is a son OF
Mr.. J. T. Curran. His friends, who
weep for him, feel that they weep
beside a broken column, life that
was cut off before completion. The
church extends her prayers and SYM
pathy to the bereaved and mourners.
