Sykes, Mrs. T. M. Mccall, Mrs. j. T.
Sanford, Mrs. w. e. Warning.
It is said of Oliver Cromwell that
when the hour came in which he was
called upon to pass through the dark
waters Of dissolution, he shrank from
contact with the grim messenger and
said, ut is a fearful thing to fall
into the hands Of the Living God"
How different the passing of Cap
ltaih Nelson. His life had been a
faithful following Of the footsteps Of
Calvary's Sinless sufferer, and he
could look the inevitable messenger
l.squarely in the eyes and say, "Take
Ime; | am ready to 60"
1t is comforting, helpful and in
spring to those of us who remain to
reflect upon what implicit faith =
God did for Captain Nelson. He had
far more than his share Of sorrow,
suffering, heartache and disappoint-
ment. How many times did the ashes
iof hope turn to dead sea fruit upon
his lips. Yet he struggled on be-
meath his load, his heart always say
ing, "Not my will, 0 God, but Thy
will be done" Patience in suffering,
peace at all times, and the courage TO
face eternity without tremor, these
are vouchsafed the soul that loves
and trusts God.
And now we leave this splendid
spirit, this true man, this steadfast
Christian with our God The sea-
sons will come and go. The winds
of winter will blow cold above him,
and the silent blades Of grass will
come creeping out of the depths to
cover his tomb with, a blanket OF
green. Yet in the hearts of those
who loved him, Captain Nelson will
ever remain, cherished and enshrined, !
as one who shrank from no duty, |
wronged no man, loved all of Gods |
children and followed the teachings of |
Christ with a faithfulness that knew
neither variableness nor the shadow
Of turning.
The. prayer of the writer of this
sketch is, that when his
hour comes to meet the grim mes
senger, and go forth on the long
journey, he may be as well prepared
Tor the great change as was the
warm-hearted, patient, true, noble,
sanity Captain Nelson. No more
will he walk the weary ways of men,
out, thanks be to God, his living
presence will continue with US in the
.ver-forceful power of an uplifting
md inspiring influence. He has pass
d from out our view, but he showed ;
Is in the life he lived how we may {
meet him beyond the grave.

Capt. Nelson

Quoted by the pastor, the Rev. Jesse
G. Rowan. A large concourse Of sor-
rowing relatives and friends met to
pay tribute of love TO the memory
of one Of the most Christlike charac-
tiers Columbus has ever known. CaHs
tain Nelson's Confederate comrades
were present in body, as were alsp
the Daughters of the Confederacy. Al
beautiful battle flag of the Confed-
eracy was placed over his quiet heart
and was buried with his body. BeaH-
tiful and fragrant flowers were heap
ed upon the grave, their beauty and
fragrance fttingly typifying the
beauty of holiness" ever manifest in
his gentle and kindly life, and the
incense Of his tender ministratons
along the journey from the cradle to
the grave.
The remains were laid TO rest in

RICE is GOOD FOR CHILDREN
Cooked In Milk, 1t Has Rich Flavor
and Is Particularly Nourishing-
Fine for Lunch.

Rice cooked in milk has richer
flavor than when cooked in water,
and is particularly nourishing and
wholesome for children. AS school
lunch dish the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture suggests that rice
may be served with tomato sauce and
grated cheese, as the main dish of
the meal, or with maple strip or
crushed fresh fruit as dessert.
One cup of rice will absorb quart
of milk when cooked slowly in a
double boiler. First wash the rice
thoroughly in several waters so as
to remove all loose starch, then drop
it slowly into the hot milk, and add
one teaspoonful of salt for each cupful
of rice. Cook the rice until the grains
are soft when pressed between thumb
and finger, or for about thirty min
utes. Remove the lid of the double
boiler during the last part of the
cooking, SO that the grains will sep
arate.

This tree first was discovered In

decorative value the tree Immediately
became popular and those who gath
