needs of the people, and after having
performed a marriage ceremony, he
was on his way home when stricken

termed by the attending physicians).
Feeling himself growing weak, and
being near the home OF Mrs. Leila
Jackson, rs East SIND Street, one of
the members of the church. he stopped
in seeking relief. Seeing that he was
rapidly growing worse, medical aid
was summoned by Mrs. Leila Jackson.
After many futile efforts, she and
members of the family were success
full in securing two physicians. When
they arrived, however, after a hasty
consultation, they pronounced his case
hopeless.
Before lapsing into unconsciousness,
he called his wife twice, saying, Lii

that he had a premonition of the end.
This belief is born out through the
fact that he had heart to heart talk
with all OF the church auxiliaries very
recently. In his talks with the vari-
Gus auxiliaries, he impressed them
with the necessity of banding them
selves together and being of one ac-
cord. He cautioned them OF the evil
of allowing anything to deter them
from their purpose, also to stand by
him in his plans to make Salem
