NOTED EVANGELISTS AT BABA CAPUILATHEA CONVENTION. Or. J. Wilbur Cbapmaa and Dr. Alex ander World Wide Evangelists to Attend State Baraca Philatbea Convention. The program is about completed for tlie coming Barana-Pliilatbea Convention winch meet* jn Golds born, April 27 30. This will probably be the greatest Conven tion of organized Sunday School classes ever held iiW North Caro lina. The Bertca Philatliea move ment for several years held its Conveptiona on the free entertain ment plan, but when the number of delegates in attendance approached 1.24*0 it was seen" that there is no city in the state able to meet the strain, sad now entertainment is offered in private homes at a dot lar a daV or at reduced rales in hotels. Some of the strongest Sunday School leaders of our whole country have been secured. Among the s|ieskers from a dis tance who have accepted invita tion* to take part are Dr. J. Wil bur Chapman, World Wide Evan gelist. Dr. Ctias. D. Bulla, Super intendent of the Wesley Adult Bible Class Department ol the M. E. Church South and Mi-e Henr et ta ITeron first vice president of the World-Wide Baracs-Philathea Un ion. Many prominent leaders of social and Sunday School work in North Carolina will lake part, among these being Mrs. J. T. Alderman, Henderson; nmminent social worker and teacher of the oldest Philatliea class in the South; Hon. W. A. Devin, Oxford, Judge of Superior Court; and a number of otliera who are knorn through out the state for the part they have played in her social and re ligoua life. The Bareca-Phiiathen movement is unique in the Sunday Sclitiol world. It is interdenominational, but strives to build np as thorough ly as possible each denomination. It seeks no control, and exercises none. There are no obligatory dues; and it ia rapidly becoming more popular, even with those who are interested in denominational work alone. Its growth is phe nomenal, there being more than IV.flOC Bar sea and Philatliea classes representing nearly 2.000,000 members. There are more in North Carolina than in any other stale in the Union, for it is esti mated thai there are 65,000 or 78,000 in this stale in more than 2.000 classes. All Barac* and Philatheaclasses, City and County Unions, are urg ed to send delegates to this com ing great Convention. .Sunday School workers, regardless of what their relation to the Sunday School is are invited to be present and help in the campaign to put the Sunday Schools of our state (in a more efficient basis.

' ? { Mr. J, W, Barnes departed this life February 19, 1916. at 10:45 I. m., age 41, after a lung illness, which he bore with patience. lie was ever ready to greet his friends with a smile, all of wlinw were attentive to him during his iRners. Mr. Barnes professed faitn in Christ and united himself with the Holly Grove Baptist Church at the age of fourteen. He moved in our community about ten years ago with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Barnes from near Hex elena. Then he moved his mem bership to Mars Hill Baptist Church, where he remained a con sistent member until God saw fit to take him away. He was a member of our Sunday School and prayer meeting. He always took an active part, loved to help sing praises to God, was always ready to help young peo ple's social amusements,'and seem ed to enjoy them, in a quiet, pious way. In bis habits he was temper rake. He was ever willing to IN IEMORIAI. Great anrro r fell upon our town on March jfStt. , wlien death claim ed for ila victim Mrc. Martha Vann liolloman, wife of Mr. Hubert liolloman, aged Kl yearn, who was stricken a few dayl pre vious with pneumonia, and waa un> able to combat the disease. But death to audi aa thee waa robbed of much of ita sorrow. She was a good woman and had doubtless fin ished her tasks, and then went home. She was a faithful member of the Ahoskie Baptist Church, where she held fast the religion and died iu the faith. From the beginning of her christian life to the end she wa#a devoted follower of Jesus, and we Jcnow she is with the An gelic hosts, therefore why should we mournt Aa we mourn not aa those who have no hope. Her life was on? of unselfishness, always readv to leare her own duties to relieve the suffering. She,was devoted to her Lord, her church, and her faintly, and was a friend to her pastor at all times. Her homo waa the preach er's home, ^Hiere he always found welcome. Bars, liolloman was an active worker in the Sabbath School W. M. Society, and any places where duty called, therefore was greatly loved and honored, always drawing friends about her. as they placed great confidence in ttTis good woman, and many tears of sorrow were .-lied when toe news spread abroad that she had passed to her reward. All that could be done to pro long her life was done by skilled physicians, trained nurse and un tiring efforts on the part of her devoted husband, children and other loved ones. But she heard the summons, "it is enough, come up higher," and without fear or regiet, she an<>wered the voice, and ended her couise with a glo rious assurance. Those who are best fitted to live are best prepared to dia. She has left An influence for good, which will make her name a precious memory. Indeed,she will be miss ed, b,-t she hag just passed over the river and joined the hosts that have gono before; and may those she left behind so dear to her heart meet her in that city "not made with hands eternal in the Heavens." On Monday at three o'clock the funeral services were conducted at the church by her pastor. Rev. C. L. Dowel I. ai*isted uv Revs. Watson and C. W. Scarborough in a very impressive manner among a large concourse of sor rowing relatives and friends, af ter which her remains were laid to! rest in the cemetery, to await the resurrection morn. The floral tributes were many and beautiful, proving the love and high esteem in which this good woman was held. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the grief stricken family, and loved ones in this sad hour of be reavement; but we commend them ^Tan all wise Father, knowing if they put trust in him. be will sliel t$r them under the shadow of his wing, and it will be a reunited family in the mansions above. E. M. B. help his friends. He loved his home, and was devoted to his par ents. We extend our heartfelt sym pathy to his aged parents, sister, and four brothers. And our pray er to them is to put their trust in Him who has promised never to forsake thee. Brother, thou was mild and lovely, gentle as the summer breeze. Pleasant as the air of the evening, as it floats among the trees. Peaceful be thy silent slumber, peaceful in th.v grave so low. Thou no more will join our num ber; thou no more our songs shall know.
