IN MEMORY OF MRS. CUApPELL

Sunday morning, April 23, proved
to be the saddest Sabbath that has
ever dawncd in the home Of Mr.. Med.
Chappcll, when the death angel
claimed for it's victim the spirit Of
the dear wife and mother, Mrs.
Malnda Chappcll.
Mrs. Chappell has been in declining
health for many years, suffering from
cancer. She has known for some
tmc that her journey ON Garth was
soon to be ended. But this she never
told her family She was always
cheerful and planning what they
| would do when she got wtil. SHE
told her pastcr last year That thl
tlmc was drawing near whca she
must leave her family. She said she
knew she was going to be with Jesus
In this conversations with her pastor
she said she had lived to sec aN
family confess Christ cxcont the
youngest. Il snail boy. THIS did he
heart good.
For several days il WAS realized
by the family that there was no hope
for recovery but there was ncvcr
q loved one cared for more kindly
than Mrs. Chappcil was. Before he"
death she was talking how gccd hc.'
husband Mack" she called him
and the children had been tc her.
She cftcn mentioned how good the
boys had been to help her before she
became bcafaSt. 1t was lust her time
to die and all the kind attention and
medical aid can not keep one here
when God calls.
Death had no terror for her for
she was as true follower of Jesus
as | ever knew. She felt sad to
think of leaving her dear ones but
she was anxious to pass over the
river to live with Jesus where she
would be free from the awful pain
that her body has endured SO long.

Holly Springs church where she was
member indeed and in truth She
Joined the Baptist church at the agc
OF ]" years, since that time she has
tried to live 50 as to be prepared for

AS a wife she was faithful and
true, as q mother, kind, gentle and

On Thursday before her passing
