born in Edgefield County South Caro-
line, October II, 1854. He moved to

was a consistent member at his death.
He was for many years member

ways devoted to the interests and
program Of his church and all the
causes fostered thereby.
He was friend of the friendless,
always responding to human need
wherever found. He never made dis
play of his deeds of service and many
an instance. of humanitarian service
has come to light since his death, of
which his family or closest friends
never knew before. 1t is also said
of him that he ruled his home by
love.
Whereas, the Lord in His all-wise
plan, has seen fit to remove from our
ranks our beloved brother and CO.
worker, Brother Edwin Zimmerman,
and
Whereas, we desire to bear testi-
mony to his faithful service, his I'M
firing devotion and his princely fell
lowship, and, -,
Whereas, we recognize our oindis-
cribable loss both to the board Of
deacons and to the church at large f.;
Therefore, be it resolved; First,
we the members of the Plains Bap-
fist church in regular conference as
sembled, do hereby tender to his sor-
rowing family our deepest sympathy
in this their sad affliction.
Second, that, we pledge to them
our deep and abiding love and faith
full watchcare.
Third, that copy of these reso-
buttons be spread upon the minutes of
our church, copy furnished to the

tan Index and copy to the family
of our beloved brother.

Through a
Woman's Eues
The People Who Get and Give
the Most Joy
BY JEAN NEWTON

I remember being very much sur.
prised, back In my school days, when
a certain girl was elected class presi-
dent.
She was dark horse. No one ever
thought Of her becoming president. for
she was not prominent in any respect.
In scholarship she was good. but not
q topnotcher; in athletics she had not
taken leading part; in social activities
she had never been in the foreground.
She was not a star, not q celebrity,
No one would have given her a thought
even as candidate. Yet when one
girl nominated her almost everybody
voted for her, and never had the various
leaders been so Overwhelmingly de-
feated.
This girl had no ardent admirers. Yet
everybody liked her-cnough to make
her president. And the reason was that
she was good.natured; just pleasant
that's all.
In class activities there had been tn.
usual scrapping and contentiousness.
One girl wanted this, another wanted
that-but never the new prexy. She
was always willing to do what u.
otuerS WdHteU TO 90, always cneerful
and good. natured. And by her very
good -naturedness she had a way Of
patching things up 90 that one never
realized who really did It.
Though not In the foreground, she
had soothing, cheering influence on
any group. That was why everybody
liked her and she had only to be men.
toned to be unanimously honored.
And these girls illustrated the truth
of the fact that II good nature has been
considered a humble virtue It should be
rcclassified. For It is the thing Iua,
does probably the most good In the
world: And uniform good nature 10 not
a shallow thing. 1t must spring from
the best elements Of character. For It
is q reflection Of unselfshness and
kindliness and good philosophy.
If were entering the world now and
had my choice Of being rich or brilliant,
or talented, or good .natured, I should
choose to be good -natured. For with
out . doubt the people who get and
give the most Joy in this world are
those who are good -naturSd-just
pleasant" that's all.

Your purpose Is to sell him some-

with him and said "good morning"
As you did this you noticed that hi,
hand was fabby. The flesh was soft.
You got the impression that 1t would
take that flesh an appreciable moment
or two to react from the very modest
pressure you gave It.
You also noted that the skin is soft,
not harsh or coarse grained, that the
mans forehead 10 high and slightly
bulging, and that his head Is wider
above the temples than below.
These are things that can be taken
in at glance or sensed in shaking
hands. He has said nothing more than
good morning" But you already know
lot about the tactics you should fol-
low in selling him.
Here is a man with whom you can
force" the sale II you so desire. His
hand has indicated weak resistance. II
remains only for you to avoid repelling
him by using finesse. Be quiet, force
full, and speak as good English as you
know how, Give his brain something
to theorize ON, but don't expect hin
to jump quickly at conclusions. APP

afterward they'd never dream of saying
to each other. And the quarrel passes
and they're the same good friends
outwardly. But the embarrassment OF
the quarrel wears off slowly and they
we'll, they just pretend coolness and
repression that wears on them both.
In q way it's amusing to the rest of
us. But to them it's deadly serious.
They fret and fume over the recollec.

hastily. They never get over It; they
try hard to do So they both wish with
all their hearts 1t hadn't happened. But
the scars remain. They can never be
