RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither by the north
winds breath.
And stars to set; but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine
own, o Death!
On Thursday, November Goth,
1919, Mrs. Gussie Free, wife of Mr..
E. F. Free, departed this life to be
with her Lord. The last few months
of her life were spent wrestling with
the disease and she went to the hos
pital and there suffered to no avail.
She was frail always when in health,
but she led an unselfsh life that COM
manded the utmost respect Of those
who knew her. She was devoted
wife and mother, and when possible
always ministered to their wants.
She left great heritage to her loveo
ones by her example of patience and
Christian fortitute. She left her
mother, sisters and brothers, husband
and three children to mourn her un-
timely death, but we do not ask to
understand, for we know Gods will
is best. In loving appreciation of
her be it resolved,
1. That in her death the Woman's
Missionary society has sustained a
great loss.
2. That we extend to the bereaved
family our deepest sympathy, and
commend them to the loving Savior's
care.
9. That copy of these resolu-
tions be inscribed in our minute
book, a copy be sent to the bereaved
family, and a copy to our county
papers.

MRS. L. E. HILL.

The subject of this sketch was
born in Alabama September the twen:
tieth, 1889, and died at her home, in
Bamberg August 10, 1919, having
nearly reached her four score years.
Mrs. Hill was, before her marriage,
Miss Lieuvonia Dafin. She was on
ly three years of age when her faith
er died. She came with her mother
to Colleton county, S. c., to make
her home in 1850. She was mar
ried to Henry H. Hill August 13,
1858. Mr.. and Mrs. Hill moved to
Bamberg county just after the civil
war. She was left a, widow in 1876.
The children who survive her are:
J. w. Hill, Bamberg; H. H. Hill. Co.
lumbia, S. c.; Mrs. NJ. G. Sandlfer
and Mrs. Alice Zeigler, both OF Tam
pa, Fla. There are also a number
of grandchildren and great-grand-
children.
Mrs. Hill was converted and united
with the Baptist church early in life,
and lived a consistent Christian life
for more than three score years.
On account of the disease which II
nally caused her death she was shut
IN for a number Of years. She suf-
fered a great deal. Yet, none went
to see her who did not come away
with a blessing for having been in
her presence.
She was unselfsh in a great de-
gree, cheerful even amidst suffering
and her consecrated life impressed all
who came in contact with her. The
Lord always received the best in her
heart and life.
When the Red Cross called for
workers during the great world war
she responded by knitting fifteen
sweaters, SIS pair of socks, a num-
Der of wristlets, besides teaching a
number of people to knit and helped
them with their work. She often re-
marked that she felt that the Lord
had spared her life to knit sweaters
and socks for the sailors and SOL
diers. Much of this work was done
while she was suffering intensely.
A loving mother, faithful friend:
consecrated Christian and useful
church member finished her work
and went to be with her Lord.
HER PASTOR.

sembly in 1871, became president of
the municipal court of Paris in 1875
and was elected to the chamber of
deputies in 1876. 1887 he declined
an invitation of the president of
France to form a ministry. In the
general wreck of French politicians
caused by the Penama scandal OF
1892 he failed of reelection to the
chamber but in 1902 was sent to the
senate. Meanwhile he had fought six
or seven duels and had won fame as
a vitrolic writer. From 1906 to 1909
he was premier. He was an anti
clerical and fought for the separation
Of church and state. He led several
political fights which resulted in the
downfall of as many ministries.
In 1914, at the beginning of the
war, he established in Paris L'Homme
Libre, a paper so bitterly anti-admin-
istration that it was suppressed. Soon
after it reappeared in Bordeaux un-
der the name of L'Home Enchaine.
Clemenceau refused to be silenced in
exposing government abuses growing
out OF the war. When the Bola Pasha
and Caillaux revelations awakened
J. France to her peril, revelations large
ly brought about by Clemenceau, the
tigers popularity became nation
wide. President Poincare called upon
the veteran statesman in November,
1917, when all France was depressed
by the defeatist propaganda and her
troops were suffering sorely in the
field, to head new war ministry.
Interpellated. in the chamber of
deputies as to what his war aim
would be, the white haired premier
replied: "My aim is to be VICTOR
He expressed at this time his opposi-
ton to receiving Germany into any
society of nations which might be
formed after the war, and declared:
"Men of great minds believe that
words have the power to liberate.
: The word right, the word Justice,
the word liberty are words as old
as man. Many thinkers believe some
miracle, will suddenly end the war
and produce a society of nations. l
do not believe it. I am here for ac-
ton. I can not see that society of
nations is the necessary conclusion OF
the present war" Later, however,
he approved of the league of nations
covenant.
"Day of Glory"
Speaking in the French senate in
1917 he declared: 1--WE will fight un-
til the hour when the enemy comes
to understand that bargaining be-
tween crime and right is no longer
possible. We want a just and strong
peace, protecting the future against
the denominations of the past
1--WE have waited 49 years for this
moment" he was quoted as saying on
June 25, 1919, when the German note
accepting the treaty of peace was re-
ceived at Versailles "This is life's
biggest moment for me-"
