YuLETIDE THORN TREE SAVED
Blooming Glastonbury, Subject OF!
Beautiful Legends Of Christmas,
Was Doomed to Destruction.

0NE Of the most beautiful legends
" Of Christmas is that Of the Glas-
tonbury thorn. The thorn tree grew
at Glastonbury Abbey, In Somerset
shire. and was supposed to have de-
veloped from the staff Of Joseph of
Arimathea. According to the legend,
Joseph came-to Glastonbury and while
he was resting on q hill, afterward
known as Weary All hill, he stuck his
staff In the earth. The staff immedi-
ately grew green and budded, and at
Christmas time 1t blossomed into
beautiful flowers.
One chronicler states that during
Queen Elizabeth's reign the thorn had
a double trunk, but that somewhat
bigoted Puritan, who disliked the tree
because to his mind 1t smacked OF
popery, started to cut It down. and
succeeded in demolishing one Of the
trunks. A miracle rescued the re
naming trunk of the tree BY causing
chip Of wood to fly up and hit the
Puritan in the eye. while at the same
time he slipped and cut his Leg
Later the tree was grubbed up, but
a number Of smaller trees raised from
slips Of the original are said to be
owned by persons in the neighbor-
hood.

In Memory of Mrs. Tenny Tyson.

On Friday, Dec. 3, 1920, at
100 p. M, Mrs. t. A. Dyson was
claimed by death. With the per-
feet satisfaction that she was
ready to go, and the assurance
that her Heavenly Father stood
ready to welcome her, she closed
her eyes to the tolls and sorrows
of this life and opened them to
unknown pleasures on the other
shore.
Mrs. Dyson had known for
months that her pilgrimage here
was drawing to a close, and not
only had she prepared herself to
meet her God, but she had also
kept her family together and had
given them messages concerning
her burial and the songs she
wanted sung. Even though she
could not join in the singing,
even though her ears were deaf
to those songs she loved so well.
still we feel that her soul was
singing too and that she was safe
in the arms of Jesus. She had
decided years ago that Jesus was
all the world to her, and she
died the death Of the redeemed.
Mrs. Dyson was near 81 years
of age, and had spent most OF
her life in Montgomery. She
will be missed by friends as well
as bereaved ones.
The funeral services were held
at the old Dyson home on the
River plantation, on Saturday,
Dec. 4, the Rev. ]. O. Bennett
officiating, after which inter-
ment was made in the Montgom-
cry cemetery. according to Mrs.
Dyson's request.
You that were dearest to her,
let not your hearts be troubled.
Think how sweet rest must be to
her after these months of suffer
ing. How can you want her
back in a world Of misery when
she can enjoy the peace that is
now hers? Just live with the
consolation that she went on
a head, and some day after we
have fallen asleep. you shall
meet her, and with her share
tnat life eternal.
A FRIEND.

This brings me to the subject of

owed it to the railway owners to re-
