Jesus Christ-Gods i'L.! Sr.l.W
Testimony To
: Him.
The most fundamental ques
tion in religion in this" Was
Jesus Christ What He Claimed
To Be?" If he wasn't, then while
our duty on many great questions
may not be clear, yet some things
at least are settled But. thank
Heaven, on many occasions and
in a number of ways, God has
borne His testimony to the fact
that the claims of Jesus Christ
were true ones. And he has bom
this testimony not only in the
past, but in the present as well.
We will consider it all at our ser
vice on Sunday night at the Bap
tist Church We will be glad to
see you there and will do our best
to make it worth your while. We
especially invite the students and
the teachers of our schools, as
we believe that the little message
will be of special interest to them
It will also, we hope and pray ,s be
of interest and profit to all others
so come, if you can.
By request wa are going to
take as our subject on Sunday
morninu "THE BAPTIST WHAT
THEY ARE AND THAT FOR
WHICH THEY STAND,"
We believe that every church
of eyrry denomination' in every
placeshould'occasionally consider
the "Whys And The Wherefores
Of Their Existence Their Distin
ctive Tenets, Principles, Etc "
We will do that on Sunday morn
ing, and whoever you are and
wherever you may live, you are
invited to be present and get a
LINE UPt'on our organization. If
anything we say appeals to you
why accept it. If not, just reject
it, that's all; and if that isin
fair we don't know what is, do
you?
, To every Christain of e v e r y
denomination, and to every hea
thernas well, if there are any
Bucn CKllTtiKb ' about, we
say "WE WISH YOU THE best
that there is along every line.'
Cordially,

'the Unaka National Forest, is
in. an annual conference with
the forest rangers from the four
districts of the reserve at his
offices over the Tennessee post

Plans were discussed for the
construction of approximately
loO miles of first class horse

to fight forest fires are to be

Dear Mr. Editor as I have came
again with another one of sadeet
messages of a broken heart, which
no mortal can express my feelings
as I announce the death of my
Dear Darling Wife I hope you will
bare with me on this occasion' as I
can not express my broken heart
this morning as I feel that all the
friend that I have in this worlcKis
gone and loft me in this lonely sad
world of sorrow and heart aches.
But as David said of jfld she cant
come back to me, but I .know I
can go to her Dear Darling one as
I give yon my hand and heart that
I would meet you and Carrie and
Ramon on that Glad Eiernal Shore
ah, how it makes my poor soul leap
for joy when I think of ; that day
when I will meet Dear Mary and
our love one you was so dear to me
I know that it wjut be 'long until
I clasp your sweet hand on the
sweet Banks of Deliverance where
there will be no pain or heart aches
over there Mary has been a faith
ful good wife and barred ber suf
fering pashionaly until Jesus said
it is enough, ah- how sad the old
home it) to me and Ethel and Char
ley and Ohmer since mama is here
no more. ' Wnat is borne witbout
a mother, Mary has been a faith
ful christian since 14 years of: age
Why Jesus taken ber I don't know
but he knows best and I am glad I
can say thy will be done. Chris-"
tain People pray for me that I can
bare my troubles, these lonely

knew her, she was" such
sweet baby; she was the sunshine
of their home. 1 Just two (2) years
ago their mother was called , away
from them to her , eternal home,
leaving ' little Easter" just thirteen
n onths old. The father, brother's
and sistor's si rived with a willing
heart to raise the little "indihcrless
babe," but when God called for it
all they could do was to say "Our
Father will be dono not ours "
All , her sister's and brother's
were present except one wno was
confined to his room with the
"Flu."
It was a great shock to Vernie
who was away in school, when she
received the telegram Easter was
just alive, but it was heartbreaking
to her when she came home and
found little Easter dead.
The funeral services were con
ducted by Rev. Rome Woodson at
their home, not a one of the' family
was able to go to the burying. She
waa laid to rest by her mother's
side at the Dry Pond Cemetery,
January 16, 1923.
A large nuwber of friends and re
latives gathered at the home Mon
day night and Tuesday to. pay the
last tribute to "little Easter."'
The hearts of all were touched
with sympathy for thewholo fami
ly especially for Omie who watched
over and cared so much for "little
Easter." - ' .
May uoa watcn over ana care
for the family through the coming
years is the prayer and wish of
their many friends. " ' ,
