Live honestly befdre them and they will be honest; live Christ before them and they will be Christians. Who is .boss in your home, you or the child? Themistocles said, “My child rules Athens.” Someone said, “How is that, Themistocles?” “Why,” said he, “my child rules my wife and my wife rules me, so you see my three- year old boy rules Athens.” Many a home is ruled by a three-year old boy. How is it in your home ? See I to it that you are the boss of your home or it will come to disgrace. Letter From T. W. Pogleman., Hear Bro.

This is one of the best churches in the State, and we cannot say just how much we apprsciate a call from a church like this. The hard thing for us now is to leave the field that we have been on so long. W’e never expect to preach to a more loyal people. We have given the best part of our life to the cause in Stanly county, and when we begin to think about leaving, it pains us greatly. We want to be where the Lord needs us most. LIFE S PURPOSE.

We are looking for an old 1 camp meeting time there, for some ' of the Stanly brethren are expecting to go and take their families and camp during the meeting. Piyler is moving on exceedingly fine. The third Sunday in June w; had a noble service. At 2:30 p. m. Bro. B. G. Whitley assisted me in an ordination service. This service was one of the best we have ever known. We ordained Bro. W. B. Poplin as church deacon. In the last session of conference she appointed her deacons as a com mittee to see to the painting of the church building. We mean for our church, as she stands on the Hill of Zion, to show her colors afar off. On Saturday of last regular ap pointment, the pastor’s heart was made to overflow. After conference adjourned he was busy within the building talking with some of the leading members. He was called the door and responded at once. To his surprise when he got outside he found the yard nearly full of brethren and sisters who had many good things, such as, sugar, ceffee, f .-uit, flour, corn, oats, etc., and other things too tedious to mention. The pastor was unable to express his grateful ness. May the richest blessings of God rest upon these loyal people, is my prayer. The following Sunday we had one cf the best services we have ever had there. It v/as a real revival service. Men and women were so blessed they could not help shouting their praises to God. The church is in fine shape for the coming revival. We are expecting a great work to be done among the membership. They are now carry ing on a weekly prayer meeting, praying espec’ally for the revival. Bro. John A. Summey will aid in the revival which begins the third Sunday in August. Services will be at 11 a. m. and at 2 p. m. Everybodv is cordially invit ed. T. W. FOGLEMAN. their prayers fo> our mating at Phil adelphia. I want the people of God to pray that we may have a great outpouring of the Hq)y Spirit there this summer. Our church is not so strong in membership but we have faith in the w;rk that our pastor is doing for us. He is onr foreman, in deed. Our Sunday school is doing nicely now. We have had the largest attendance this year we have had for sometime. Our meeting cf days will begin on Saturday before the third Sunday in August. Don’t forget to pray that we may have a great time then. Let’s do a great work for the Master’s cause this year, and great- will be the results. MRS. MAUDE HILL. What ^1 dying be? Tearful enemy, sund’ring unity; Or a ministry to thy misery— What will dying be? Spirit answers thee ;What thy life shall be: All sincerity. Faith and charity. Heaven’s purity— This thy life shall be. Letter From Mrs. Maude Hill. And shall living be. Not desponding failure, servility; But fidelity, trust, simplicity— This shall living be. Then means death to thee. Not a boundless sea, dark and shad owy; ' Endless poetry, joy eternally— Death will mean to thee. Nor shall dying be • , Hated enemy, but a melody. End of slavery, song of victory— •Thus‘shall dying be! ' ■ -aPEARL L. GARNES. Dear Editor.—I have been reading your grand little paper, and you can not imagine how badly I wish it was larger. When the Stanly Baptist comes I am not contented until I have read it over and wonder what good deeds I may learn that have been done for the Master. I have been wanting to read a pa per of this kind for sometime so that I could know what was being done in our county. I want to know what the people are doing to ehlarge the king dom cf our Master. There is nothing so sweet to me as the name of JeSUs. I want the prayers of all the good people that I may live nearer my Master than I have ever done in my life,- and that I may win Heaven when I die. I want all of the brethren and sisters to pray for the meetings to be held in our association this'sum mer,'pray that they nftay bt'the best we have ever had. I especially ask OBITUARY. On the 22nd day of June, 1914, the spirit of sister Lola Karl.cker, wife tf Bro. D. J. Herlocker, took its flight to God who gave it. She was a great sufferer of that dreaded disease,^ consumption, although she bore har suffering with Christian grace and fortitude. She welcomed the Death Messenger as only those who are prepared to meet their God in peace can. Sister Herlocker was born and reared near Piyler, Stanly county. She professed faith in the Lord about eighteen years ago and joined the M; P. church at Friendship where she remained a consistent member for four years. At this point of life Sis ter Herlocker became dissatisfied with her first faith and baptism. Be ing willing to leave her tr.^ubles with the Lord and do His bidding, she went to praying and reading her Bible and in it she found sweet relief and join ed Piyler Baptist church and was baptized into full fellowship with her Lord and Master by E. S. Ivery about two years ago. Sister Herlocker has ever been a faithful and consistent member since until her health gave way. She was always present in her Sunday school class, had good lessons and always sought information concerning her Lord and Master. Sister Herlocker was an exception to the rule for good attendance and good lesson in her Sunday school class. She will be greatly missed. She leaves a hus band and six children and many rela tives and friends to mourn her loss- When she realized that the end w'as near she smiled sweetly and bade her husband and children good-by and said everything was bright and that she was going home to Glory and told her husband and children to serve the Lord and meet her in Heaven. Dear wife and mother we will try to meet thee. When the days of life are fled; There in Heaven with joy to greet thee. Where no fare\yell tear is shed. May God help all to be faithful like Sister Herlocker. We point the sor rowing ones to Him who doeth all things well. “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.” SANDY MORRIS, Supt. T. W. FOGLEMAN, Pastor. VAUGHN, A. B., M. D.
