F. Kivett, who passed to his eternal re ward on the 25th day of March, 1915, aged 62 years, 6 months, and 21 days. He was the father of 10 children, 6 dead and 4 living, and he was tn grandfather of 9 children. He pro fessed faith in Christ the 5th week in last August, 1914, at the M. E. church, known as the White place. At that time the writer was assisting Bro. Thompson in his meeting. I am glad to say he was a testimony for God. He united with the Sandy Creek Baptist church very soon after his profession, the church to which his body was taken on the 26th day of March by Bro. Curtis, of Liberty. The pall bearers were BrethrenA. L. Lang ly, Eli Marley, George Williams, Al fred Williams, G. M. York, F. L. Wil liams, and Dr. Tate, the burial ser vice was conducted by the writer and also his pastor. He leaves a good many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Although we trust our oss will be his gain and that with Christ he's gone to reign in that brig home where grief cannot come and death's but a path that must be gone if we would ever get to that bright home. We realize tt light from that household is gone a voice that was loved is stilled a lace is vacant in that home that never can be filled. And another link is broken in that household band, but a chain is form ing in a better land and now his la bor is done. Now, now, the goal is won and his spirit smiles from that bright shore and softly whispers "Weep no more." Now let's pray God to help us to live so that when our life's toils are ended here upon earth, that we may meet Bro. Kivett in that Heavenly land, no more to take the parting hand. O! 'twill be sweet to meet on that blest shore where -all sorrow will be passed and all pain forever over. And our toils will then be past, our work will then be done, our fight will then be fought and the victory won. Rev. W. C. DOWD, Goldston, N. C.

ABOUT MR CRAVEN That is an able and concise analy sis that Mr. Bruce Craven makes of the need of business in office, anent the biennial demand for "business men in office, for business administra tion and business methods generally." "The business needed," says Mr. Cra ven, " is not a matter of occupation, but of attitude and character." That is to say, men are wanted in office who are competent for the job, fit for the work of the place to which they aspire. To have a business administra tion of an office, therefore, it is nec essary to find a capable man, and it makes no difference whether he is a banker, merchant, manufacturer, far mer, lawyer, teacher, doctor, or what not. Selecting a man engaged in some particular business does not nec essarily mean that he has the qualifi cations sought; but if a competent man is found it is more than likely he will possess the other requisites of honesty and economy. What is needed more than all else is compe tency in office, but how to make sure of competence under our system of selection is, as Mr. Craven intimates, a problem. But Mr. Craven's state ment of the matter is a classic Statesville Landmark.
