Many OF Bro Martins friends
have analyzcd his wonderful success
as being due to two things which

touch with God in his humble pray
er life, and his intense love for lost
souls. These naturally show them
selves in his humble. tho fearless
and Jealous life of Christian service
We are fortunate indeed in hav-
ing the opportunity of having Rev
Martin with us for a series of meet
ings. A cordial welcome is extend
ed to all the people of BarbOurville

rected by Prof Bunnell, whose great
talent together with his devoted con-
secration and popularity guarantee
that it will be well done.

tending warm welcome to each

join in praying for the manifest
presence Of God in genuine revival

OBITUARY
James ChndweIl Marsce

Mr.. James Caldwell Marsee was
born i'm this county and reared in
the shadows of its beautiful hills,
first seeing the light on Owens
Branch of Brush Creek, March goth,
1852. He died December 30th, 1921
All the education he received was
thru attendance at schools on Brush
Creek. When about is years of age
he became a member of the Mission
ary Baptist Church and was later
ordained as a deacon which Office he
held until his death. He was a man
of fine intelligence and strict integ-
rity He was never heard to utter
an oath, never smoked or drank
whiskey in his life and did not know
the taste of coffee.
He married Miranda Myrick and
of this union seven children we're
born, all of whom are living. They
are J. d. Marsee, of Hazard; Mrs.
Effe Warren, of Franklin, Ohio;
Mrs. Alice Webb, Columbus, Ohio;
John G. Marsee, Artemus; Mrs. Chel
sic Howard, Artemus; Harve Marsee
Wallins; Mrs. Fannie Mills, Straight
Creek. Bell County.
Mr.. Marsee was an honored mem
ber of the Masonic Order and of the
Odd Fellows.
Deceased owned a good farm and
was reasonably prosperous. doing
his duty in that state OF life into
which it had pleased God to call him.
There are three sisters and four
brothers living.
1t is a good thing. personally, to
have lived life in accordance with
divine precepts and it is perhaps a
better thing to have so lived that
others might see what the religion
of Jesus Christ is worth. To such a
one death is but the passing to a
larger sphere. where an even great
er obedience to the Lord and Father
OF us all may be practiced. Whether
1t be life of service beyond or the
continued praising of God, the soul
that has become attuned here to
work or worship, will find equal op-
portunity there.
The earthly tenement is quietly
lying in Gods acre, but the spirit
has been born again into the mys-
teries which lie beyond the veil. 1t
does not so much matter what the
man was here. as it does what he
now is after putting off mortality to
take on immortality.
Underneath are the everlasting
arms.
For so He giveth His beloved
sleep.
