I A BIBLE THOUGHT
X FOR TODAY
Bible Thoughts memorized, will prove q
priceless heritage in after years.

WHEN THOU PASSEST through
the waters, 1 will be with thee; and
through the rivers, they shall not over
flow thee; when thou walkest through
the fire thou shalt not be burned
neither shall the flame kindle upon
thee.-Isaiah 43 2.
CAST AWAY from you all your
transgressions, whereby ye have trans
gressed and make you a new heart
and a new spirit for why will ye die,
O house of Israel? For l have no
pleasure in the death Of him that
dieth. saith the Lord God: wherefore
turn yourself and live ye.-Ezekiel
IS 81, 30.
THE LORD is the portion Of mine
inheritence and of my cup: thou main
tainest my lot. The lines are fellen
unto me in pleasant places: yea, l
have gOodly heritage.-Psalm 1873,
6.
FINALLY, BRETHREN, whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are
honest. whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, whatsO-
ever things are lovely whatsoever
things are of good report; If there be
any virtue, and if there be any praise
think on these things.-Philippians :S.

Obituary
O. E. BnLINGsLEY DEAD

This dearly beloved brother depart
ed this life on the morning of the Dist
of this month on the day he was to
preach at England, Arkansas. But he
was never permitted TO fill the appoint
ment. He, accompanied by his family,
had arrived in Little Rock on the
evening of the 18th, intending to spend
the night with his brother, Finis, who
lives there. On the next morning be-
ing tired from the hard drive of the
day before, he told his wife that he
was going to take some ofthe medl-
cine his brother Charles Ca physician)
had prescribed By mistake he took
Bichlorid of Mercury tablets. He be-
gan vomiting at once, but thought at
first IL was the effect of the medicine
he intended to take. When he began
to vomit blood his wife called a physi-
clan, DR.. Wayne, l think. He did very
little or nothing and finally went away
and left him. Again his faithful wife
went out after help and this time Sc
cured an ambulance and he was taken
to the City Hospital where all was
done that could be done it seems. This
was three hours after the poison had
been taken and too much had been alb
sOrbed. He endured untold misery till
the next Lords day only lacking three
hours of living one week from the time
he took the deadly poison.
received word of his condition on
Wednesday at II 80 p. NJ. l reached
the hospital just twelve hours later.
His wife told me. he was resting easy
so ] did not disturb his till morning.
He seemed glad that came and show
ed me that he realized the hopelessness
of his condition more than we for we
still thought he would survive or rath-
er might. | say we had some very
faint hopes. He told his wife early
that he would like to live but was not
afraid to die. He tried to get her not
10 look so sad but to be cheerful. When
we saw the end was nigh his wife and
children were brought to him and he
kissed them all goodby. Later he re-
vived and i'm answer to the questions
of his wife he gave parting words to
his children saying tell Maxine that
her father is glad she became a Chris
| tian when she grew up and that he
hoped Bennie his next oldest daughter
would obey the gospel when she grew
up. He also gave word TO the other
children which l think Sister Billing
sley heard and lapsed into unconscious
ness again. As l remember it this
was his last speech, though he showed
| by signs that he knew us till near the
end. His sufferings were too fearful
to describe. He bore it all with the
fortitude of a Christian hero not one
time complaining of his misfortune he
seemed determined to bear it patient
~ and how well he did that only those
at his bedside can know. As IL began
TO draw toward the first day Of the
week, his weary spirit escaped from
the poor pain-racked body and took
its fight 10 God.
Brother Billingsley lived in this
world about thirty-six years ana &C. ~

Rock, while tears flowed from my eyes.
| murmured the words that may fit
tingly close this Farewell Dear
Brother till we meet again." expect
to meet the smiling face Of my dear
brother when | too come to cross the
Great Divide"
Brother Billingsley left his wife and
four children. The oldest, Maxine.
has alreadv become Christian. After
her is Bennie, ten, Ruby, seven, and
o. II. Jr., the baby, five. When told of
his fathers death he said "but know
that father will rise again In the re-
surrection."
These deserve the sympathy of those
who loved him. They are left without
the guidance of father and husband
but let MS pray that He who tempers
the wind TO the shorn lamb will guide
and protect them.
Letters of sympathy may be address,
ed to Sister Billingsley at Newburg,
Arkansas, care of her mother, Mrs.
Cassie Jett.
Many friends called at the hospital
and visited or made inquiry; too many
to mention by name.
