Tribute From Colored Minis
ter to MIR. Davis May.

We regret that the death angel
has visited our little town and has
taken away one of our highest es-
teemed citizens in the person of Mr..
Davis May. One that made friends
with everybody that ne came in con-
tact with from the greatest to the
smallest. Both white and colored
knew him to love him. The world
could very easily spare some others
but God knew best. 1t seems that the
world would have been better off if
some people had never lived in it to
leave an evil example. Sleep on, Mr..
May and take your rest.
l also extend my sympathy to the
family of the Late Rev. Mark Adams
who lived in our midst. He was a
great man in the midst of his people.
He served three noble churches up to
his death, named as follows: Pleas
ant Lane, Beaver Dam and Shady
Grove. We all have missed him.
Servant of God, well done,
Rest from thy loved employ,
The battle is fought, victory is won,
Enter tiny Masters JOY"
Yours for the cause,

Thanksgiving From Rev. Frank
Weaver.
November 18th, 1920.

Mr.. Editor:
Please allow me space to speak OF
another Thanksgiving Day. The good
Lord has spared our lives to see this
much of the closing year. Oh! give
thanks to the Lord for His wonderful
works among the sons of men! This
year has brought us rain, and bread,
and clothes, and heat and cold, and
ioy and sorrow, but behind the cloud
the sun is shining. Let US look on the
sunny side of life. Our sins are the
cause of this calamity which has
come upon us. We have sinned by
commission and we have sinned by
omission. We m.y lay all OF this
sorrow on low prices of cotton, we
may lay all this trouble on the Doll
weevfl, but sin is at the bottom OF
all this calamity. We have failed to
live up to the Golden Rule in great
many instances which tells us to DO
INTO all men as you would have them
to do unto you.
/ told the public last winter what
thew had seen and heard was the be-
Ginning of sorrow and starvation;
{ told the public the high cost of liv.
ing and high wages reminded me OF
Pbaraoh's dream. He dreamed that
he saw seven years of plenty and sev-
en- years of famine, and when the
seven years of famine took place,
the seven years of plenty were 1or-
gotten.
Sin is a reproach to any nation.
In the midst of this dark cloud that
is hanging over US, we can see SO
many lost opportunities. Tell US. we
pray. for whose cause this evil is
mon us. Draw nigh to God and he
will draw nigh unto you. A great
many people are talking OF leaving
the country and moving to town on
account of the low prices OF cotton'
but listen, the devil will meet you
in town and throw a rope CT star
vation around your neck quicker
+han he would in the country. The
town will die if the country, IS neg
iected. Do not run away, don't 60
crazy. AS Moses said at the Red sea.
stand still and see the salvation Oh
God and say as of old, God will pro-
vide. Times will not get any better
until the nation turns to God IN pray
So let us all meet in our churches
on thanksgiving Day in solemn
PRAYER to God for sparing our i!ves'
# we should be living at that tlme'
and pray to God to better the con-
dition of our country. Gov
Oh, give thanks unto the Lord oa, tor
His mercy endureth forever, and say
as one Of old "What shall l render
unto ,r the Lord for all His benefits to-
- Respectfully,
Rev. F. A. WEAVER.
