MRS. EVELYN TIMBERLAKE.

On October 18th, at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Susan Kerr, in
Augusta county, Va, Mrs. Evelyn
Undertake entered upon the life that
lis beyond. She had been on a visit
in the home of her daughter, but a
few days and seemed in her usual
health. She had attended services
at Thinking Spring Church on the two
previous evenings and was again
ready to start to the service when she
complained of feeling chilly. The
Doctor was sent for Immediately and
she was found to have developed
pneumonia. The end came rapidly
and but two days had passed, when
the long and useful life here, filed
with many activities, had been merg-
ed into the Eternal life that shall
know no end. In her Bible there
was found a paper, written in her
well-known hand and headed, "a
Prayer" In it she had prayed
especially "that she might be spared
intense and long suffering and that
her mental faculties be not IMPAIR
ed" How completely that prayer
was answered is known best by those
who were with her during those last
two days and witnessed the calm and
conscious passing of great soul as
peacefully as a child is lost in
slumber.
"Say not goodnight, but in some
brighter cline, wish me good morn
ing" Mrs. Undertake was the
daughter of Washington and Susan
Undertake, of Frederick Co., Va,
and widow of Mr.. Seth M. Timber
lake, late of Augusta Co., Va. Mr..
and Mrs. Undertake moved to their
home in Fishersville about .25 years
ago. There large circle of friends
soon learned the charm of her per-
onality, to value her superior mental
endowments and to love her for the
trueness of her friendhip. She had
neen from young womanhood a con-
slstent member of the Presbyterian
Church, and upon coming to Fishers
Vliie, mad at once united by letter
with Thinking Spring Church. From
the beginning, she learned to love the
church, its pastors and its people
with very true and deep affection.
1t was there an out-pouring of the
church's people came, together with
friends and relatives from a distance
to pay their need of respect and re-
gard for the life lived in the SIMPLE
ity and confidence of the true Chris
tian, and to give her body resting
place by the side of her husband and
among the church's hallowed dead.
He leads us on by paths we do not
know,
Upwards he leads us, though the
steps be slow;
Though oft we faint and falter by
the way,
Though storm and darkness oft
obscures the way
Yet, when the clouds are gone,
We know He leads us on"

Stick to the Bible Texts, is the adj
vice of Rev. L. M. Zimmerman, for 33
years Pastor, and founder, of Christ
English Lutheran Church, Hill
Street, Baltimore. DIR. Zimmerman
says pulpit sensationalism is not what
people go to church for and Christ
and the Bible warns against bringing
seculal affairs into sermons. The
World War has left spiritual agita-
ton that makes it difficult for the
many to settle to normal routine.
Ministers were called from their
flocks at that time to serve more ex-
citing fields. DR.. Zimmerman has
long since taken a deffinate stand
against sensationalism and asserts
that in his opinion it is not lasting
and will never permanently build up
any Church and the minister who re-
sorts to it is only defeating his own
cause.

CHILD WELFARE COMMISSION
OPENS OFFICE AT CHARLESTON

The Child Welfare Commission,
created by the last session of the
Legislature, has opened up an office
in the Capitol Building in Charleston
during the past week.
This Commission plans to make a
study of the laws, their administra-
ton, and the conditions existing in
the entire field of child welfare, en-
bracing not only the normal child,
but the dependent, neglected, de-
fective and delinqunt child.
A report is to be made at the next
session of Legislature as to the find
ings of this Commission, with any
recommendations which will be nee
essary for the strengthening of the
foundations of sound, cooperative
and progressive statewide child
welfare program.

EXTENT AND REDUCTION OF
THE CIVIL SERVICE.

The United States Civil Service
has issued it's semi-annual statement
the extent of the Federal
executive civil service and reductions
threin, as follows.
The Federal executive civil force
in the District of Columbia was re-
duced by 1884 employees during
the year ended July 81, 1921, and by
1896 during the period from No
vember IL, 1918 to July 81, 1921.
The reduction throughout the United
States, including the District of Co.
lumbia, was 1854 for the year end
ed July 81, 1921, and more than
100000 during the period from No
vember IL, 1918, to July 81, 1921.
The reductions continue steadily, but
now, of course, more slowly.
On June 80, 1916, there were 3d.
259 employees in the District Of Co
lumbia, and 400,539 in branches
outside the District of Columbia,
making the total on that date 49,
1913. On November IL, 1918, at the
height of the war expansion, the
number of employees in the District
of Columbia was 117,760. Owing to
rapid fluctuations at distant places of
employment, it was found impractic-
able to compile strictly accurate fig
ures for the force outside the District
of Columbia during the war period.
AS near as can be estimated, the
force outside the District of Column
bia numbered approximately 100000
on November IL, 1918. This is
conservative estimate; it is probably
too low. Adding the number in the
District of Columbia on the date, the
approximate total number of en-
ployees on the date the armistice was
signed was 917,760. On July 81.
1920, there were 90,559 Federal
civil employees in the District Of Co
lumbia and 600,557 in branches out
side the District of Columbia, making
the total on that date 691,116. On
July. 81, 1921, there were 1885
employees in the District of Columbia
and 5l8,617 in branches outside, the
total on that date being 597,482.
All figures named include Federal
executive positions classified under
the civil-service law and those not so
classified.

TAMMANY NOTES.
Editor, Spirit of jefferson.

EulLOr, OplTlt VI JSu
Strive note in a recent issue a
communication signed Democrat
suggesting the name of Mrs. Izetta
Brown as the Democratic nominee
for Congress. Now we don't want
to be understood as opposing the
nomination of Mrs. Brown, as we are
rather taken with the name; notwith-
standing the fact, We saw one of
them hung, and know of others of the
name that should have been. We
supported the late lamented Junior
and we tried our utmost to send
another distinguished member to
Congress, that he might grace the
House with his good looks and
eloquence and charm the Country
with his devotion to duty, his conse-
Grafton to principle, and his loyalty
to party, No, we are not grooming
the Colonel for another race; only
trying to show that the family name
is not extinct. We therefore advise
Democrat" to pause and with
hold his judgment and pen for
a while; remembering that being
premature in politics is almost as dis
astrous as being so in family affairs.
Wait at least until the Disarmament
Conference has shot its bolt and
persisted; wait until its failure to
achieve success is known of all men;
as the point is this, if the Conference
does function as substitute for the
League of Nations Covenant, there
will be no use in our party making a
nomination, but if it does not and We
of Tammany think it cannot, we will
have more than fighting chance to
win. And to win, our Nominee must
stand squarely upon the platform
erected by Thomas Jefferson and
strengthened by Woodrow Wilson,
not doubling the fact however
that Mrs. Izetta Brown will be
able to do so, with her beautifully
shod feet.
We are commanded to pray fol-
the success of the Conference, and
all will likely do so, with the possible
exception of the High Priest OF
Shenandoah Tribe of Tammany, and
the able Editor of the Spirit of jeff
erson, and we really can't think how
you can do so Sir, without changing
your name and losing your religion
Tammany, at any rate, is well
armed.
