Local Chairman Near East
MRS. SARAH ]. AMES.

Mrs Sarah J Ames quietly passed |
away January 18th, 1920, at the resi-
dence of her son, j. F. Ames. On the
day following she was buried from the
Methodist church in the Odd Fellows
cemetery.
Mrs. Ames was the daughter of
James and Mary AnnLongstreet; born
July 10Th, 1881 in New Augusta, Ga.
After the death of her father the
family moved in 1874 to Macon, Miss.
In 1855 she was married to Charles B.
Ames. The surviving children are j.
F. Ames, Macon, Miss, Charles B.
Ames, Washington, D. c., and Mrs. D.
w. Williams, Jackson, Ohio.
Mrs. Ames at the time of her death,
was the only survivor of the organi-
zers of the First Methodist church at
Macon. She was converted and joined
the church at the age of seven years.
For eighty-two years she was faith
full and active member Of the Metho-
dist church. She had a record not
equalled in all Methodism in the length
of membership and service in church
and Sunday School. Here in Macon
she was a continuous member of the
Methodist church and Sunday School
for seventy-fve years. For a large
part of this time she was a teacher in
the Sunday School. Her record in at
tendance upon all the services Of the
church was never epualled here. For
many years her hearing was very poor
not even being able to hear more than
four or five words during the preach
| ing services, yet she never missed a
service unless prevented by sickness.
1t was her good fortune in child
hood to be nurtured and trained in the
pioneering period Of the Methodist
church, when the keynote of the church
was evangelical, and emphasis was
given to the great doctrine Of justifi-
cation by faith and the witness of the
spirit Glass meetings and lnVn-teasts
were part of the services of the church
at this time.
Her loyalty to her church and her
Lord was not aXceliei hy the prophets
of old. Her faith was simple and
child-like. Shebelieved that the Bible
was the inspired word of God, and she
/ believed every word Of it. She had
no patience with so-called higher cri-
tics and isms growing out Of supc"h-
cial study of the Scriptures, Her
reading covered a large field She
read the Bible daily and her church
literature. 1t was remarkable for one
of her age to be so conversant with
current events. The lively interest she
had in her family, neighbors an d
friends kept her young in spirit.
After the marriage of her children
she continued to keep her own home
and a large part of the time lived
alone, over the protest of her chill
dren She often remarked that she
did not live alone as the Lord and his
angels watched over her day and night
This is not a strange doctrine to those
of us who had the privilege of know
ing and loving her, She was ready
to 60 to her heavenly home, and will
ing to go. In her going the prayer OF
Tennyson in his Crossing the Bar"
was beautifully answered. There was
mo moaning of the Bar" when she
put out to sea-" mo sadness of fare
well" when she embarked, for she did
see her "Pilot face to face" when she
CROSSED the bar" W. &. 5.
