Tlie death of any one ,i? > aad
event, especially to those who ;
stand in close relation.!? the one ,
deceased, and when a good man ,
is taken the swells with unuterable
emotion and the tongue is dumb ^
under the sorrow death has awak
ened. Such was the case on Dec..
24; 1914 at 7 o'clock a. m. when .
the spirit of Mr. William Q. Cope- j
land went home to rest after many |
long months of intense suffering,
aged 45 years. A good and use
ful man, a man in whom bis
friends trusted, haa gone from
among us. He had many friends
who with a wife, three step child
ren, and family connections, mourn
his departure and mias bim sadly;
hut their loss is his gain. He
hated to die and leave bis love ones
so much, but as the end alrew
nearer he begged the Good Lord
to take him home where his suf
ferings would be ended. In his
death the Baptist church and Sun
day School (as well as the commun
ity) has suffered great loss, as he
was a faithful member devoted fend
untiring in its service until dis
abled by failing health, but we
know he was triumphaully passed
to the Saints everlasting rest, and
is numbered among the church trU
umpbant where nothing can debar
him from its eternal joys, still
his death has cas^t a gloom over
the whole community and many
homes, other than bis own are aad
on account of his departure, but
while family and friends mourn
their loss they are rich with the
legacy of his life and with the hope
of a Heavenly reunion, his influen
ces for good will live among us as
a fitting memorial to one who was
always interested in his fellowmen.
Mr. Gopeland was a faithful |
member of the Masonie Fraterni- |
ty. also of the O. E. S. Chapter, |
where he will be greatly missed. ,
The funeral services were con- I
ducted at the home on Saturday I
afternoon at 2 o'clock by bis pas
tor Rev. H. H. Honeycutt among
a large crowd ofsorrwing loved
ones, and as "Home sweet borne"
(by bis request) was softly sung,
the Masons bore his body to the
church yard where he was laid to
rest with Masonic boners.
We extend to the bereaved wife
and relatives our sincere sympathy
in this sad hour of trouble, pray
ing that the comforting influence
of the Holy Spirit may brood over
and sustain each one of them.

Wilson-Evans,
Murfreesboro, Dec. 31.?The
home of Mrs. M. E. Worrell was
tastefully decorated for one of the '
most beautiful weddings of the
season, when Miss Susie Eyaus
became the bride of Mr. Harry ?
Wilson, at eleven o'clock Tuesdhy i
morning.
Preceding the ceremony, Mr,M.
E. Worrell sang "I Love You i
Truly. Following him Miss Eva |
Lawrence sang "O Promise Me," j
accompanied bv Mrs. J. S. Lew- ;
rence. To the strans of Lohen
grin's Wedding March the bridal
party eqtored, first Misses Eliza
beth, .^nd Frances Evans, little ,
nieces of the bride, attired in wljBe
handembroidered lingerie dresses
with pink' ribbons, formed an aisle

Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Bazemore 011 1
Sunday night December 27, 1914
?fter a lingering illness of several <
months aged 18 years. 1
There is something peculiarly ?
pathetic in the death of a young '
girl when life seems most full of 1
promise, but much of the sting 1
is taking away when she has real
ized the meaning of life and given 1
fiersel/ to Christ, she joined I
Bethlehem Baptist Church when
12 years old, and lias ever been .
faithful to her vows, she was a re* |
If'ilar attendant until health failed
her last May, during that time ber ,
pew was vacant but her young (
heart was there. All throutb the |
long months of suffering she bore j
it with christian fortitude for at {
Limes she was very ill and suffered
pain aJjpost unbearable yet she (
imveK murine red. she was anxious J
Lo get well, but God in his infinite
wisdom saw fit to take her Home
to suffer no more pain or Sorrow, 1
tnd while we are sad at her going '
ind her seat is empty at home and 5
in the church we know she fills a '
seat in heaven, therefore our lose '
is ber eternal gain. She was the '
youngest daughter of a family of
ten children and the first to break :
the family ties therefore it is so
sad to give up one so devoted to 1
father, mother, brothers and sis- 1
ters, indeed she was a great
favorite in the home, as well as '
imong friends, for none knew her
but to love her. Her childhood ;
love of truth and right madeher a 1
laily delight to ber parents and
jtlier loved ones, and her early 1
t |
going away brings a keen nense of
Lbeir sad loss, but while ebe could
not stay with us, we can go to her '
is we know where to find her.
Before she died she called all ber
loved ones, leaving out none of bet -
Friends, telling of the Glory Land
ind its beauties, and singing
beautiful anthems that crushed the
bearts of those about tier.
The funeral services were con
tacted at the home on Tuesday
ifternoon by her pastor Rev. C. L.
Do well in ? very impressive man
ner, and her body laid to rest in
Lhe cemetery by her relatives who
icted as pall bearers, the large
srowd present attested ber popui
trity. ,
I
We commend tbe grief stricken
Family to Him who doitb all things ]
wetl and may they all live such ]
lives as to meet their loved one in
the morning of the resurrectoh
where there will be no more sor
row, no more parting.
"We shall meet be.vond the river.
Where the surges cease to roll.
Where in all tbe bright forever, i
Sorrow ne'er shall press tbe soul. '
We shall meet with all our love
ones. 1
Yorn on earth from our embrace, '
And we'll listen to their voices,
And behold them face to face." 1

War and Religion.
(Utica Press.)
As bas been said before, the war
in Europe bas a great many dif
ferent influences on this country.
A few and hitherto undiscovered
one is that found by Rev- John H.
Jowett, pastor of the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian Church in New York
City. He says that since the war
began there has been growing
tendency among the people to be
more emoting in their -spiritual
duties. He expresses the confid
ant expectation that if the war
continues there will be an increas
ed improvement in church attend
ance.
Just why Americans shpuld go
to church more because the Ger
mans and the allies are fighting
Bach other on the othet side of the
world is perhaps not manifestly
apparent, but if it is rib, it is oc- =
casiou for congratulation. Per
haps they go to give thanks be- 4
cause the United States is at peace <1
with itself and all the rest of j
the world. The natural supposi- (,
tion is that this would promote a < i
feeling of complacency and self- <!
satisfaction. i
' ? - - - 4 s
As a rale, people soek the con- <
eolations of religion only when <
they are in trouble, or feel they <
are about to be. Generally they <
put off seeking divine aid until j
such a time as tbey are satisfied i
they cannot get sufficient assist- <
tance from themselves or their i
friends. It would be interesting i
to know if the increased ftitrreet 4
which Dr. Jewett thinks he sees 4
is noticeable in other churches. i
