Wednesday, January 21, 1903. RALEIGH CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. ammated at the Conference held in Durham in December, 1881, and he died in Roxboro, February 25, 1882. For many years Sister Jordan was President of the W. F. M. S. in Rox boro. . At the time Sister Jordan joined the church her father joined with her. On that day he had all of his (twelve) children baptized. All of them have crossed the river except Rev. J. H. Page and Mr. Sam Page. Blessings be on them. Sister Jordan leaves five children Mrs. W. E. Webb and Mrs. W. H. Harris, of Roxboro, N. C; Mr. Thomas P. Jordan, of Sparks, Ga.; Mr. Charles H. Jordan, of Peters burg, V-a., and Mr. Herbert H. Jor dan, of Durham, N. C. Sister Jordan was truly a mother in Israel. Calm on the bosom of thy God, Fair spirit, rest thee now! E'en while with us thy footsteps trod His seal was on thy brow. Lone are the paths, and sad the bowers, Whence thy meek smile is gone ; But O, a brighter home than ours, In heaven is now thine own. D. N. OAVINESS. Rev. William R. Wynes. A little over seventy years ago, near the town of LaGrange, Lenoir County, N. C, the subject of this sketch was born. Had he lived till the tenth of January next, he would have been seventy-two years of age. We know nothing of his parents, but doubtless they were good people, for the life of their honored son prompts us to believe that he had early Christian training. When Bro. Wynes was seventeen years of age he married Miss Jane Moore, who lived only eight months. When he was twenty-two, in the year 1857, he again married this time to Miss Nancy Hooker, with whom he lived forty-five years. Five chil dren were born to them two sons and three daughters. The sons died in infancy. The daughters married, and two of them, with their families, his wife and a host of friends live to mourn their irreparable loss. Bro. Wynes left no earthly pos sessions for his loved ones, but he left them something better a rich inheritance of pious precepts. He was converted at a camp-meeting in Lenoir County, about 1860. His was a clear-cut conversion ,and at once he commenced to labor in the Lord's vineyard. The war between the States having broken out, he felt it his duty to join the Southern Army, but he did not forget to let his light shine. He was then a licensed exhorter, and did much good among the soldiers. He bore the exposure of camp life without a murmur. After the war he was licensed to preach, and in his humble sphere probably no one ever was more ef ficient or more appreciated his work. He was not a man with a literary education, yet he used good lan guage in preaching, was intensely practical in his delivery, and well posted on miscellaneous subjects. He vas instrumental in building up Methodism in Lenoir, Pitt and Cra ven counties. Possibly our church owes more to him in this Domes tic Mission field than to any other man. Bro. Wynes was the most natu ral preacher I ever saw. It semed almost as natural for him to preach as for the birds to sing. From 1876 1878 he served as a supply. What was then called Swift Creek Mis sion, now known as Vanceboro and Grimesland Circuit, also in the latter part of 1901 he was employed to serve the Farmville Circuit. As supply he did very efficient work. Many of the churches in the bounds of the Swift Creek Mission were organized by him. At the last day many will rise up and call him blessed. In his death he felt that he owned the world nothing, having given his time and talent to the church without scarcely any remuneration. He said to the writer on his death bed: "I feel that my work is done." Sure enough in a short time the wayworn traveler caught a glimpse of the Holy City and entered into rest. Thank God for such a life and such a victory in death! Thus, when his earthly pilgrimage was closing, he was enabled by God's grace to look back upon a life well spent in the Master's service. Dur ing his long and useful life he was solicited to leave us and cast his lot where he could be financially helped. But he said "No." He was content to remain with his first love. Meth odism was weak here at that time, but he always showed a willingness to work. "Servant of God, well done; Rest from thy loved employ. The battle fought, the victory won; Enter thy Master's joy." "Blesed are the dead which die in the Lord yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors ; and their works do follow them." J. M. LOWDER. S. H. BATTLE, President. ALEXANDER WEBB, Vice-President. CHARLES ROOT, ike. and Trea . Resolutions of Respect. Whereas, Our Sabbath-school has been called upon to mourn the loss of one of our best members and teachers; therefore, be it Resolved 1st. That in the death of our beloved sister, Kate Davis, which occurred November 30, 1902, our Sunday-school has met an irre parable loss. 2d. That as a scholar in her child hood she was punctual and studious ; as a teacher she was patient and gentle, and by her pure life won the love of her class and all who knew her. 3d. That we shall miss her in the class-room, yet we feel that our loss is her gain, and while we mourn for her here, there is joy in heaven over the entrance of one who did her duty faithfully on earth, and that her life, though short, was full of good works.. 4th. That as an evidence of our sincere sympathy for them in their sad bereavement, a copy of these resolutions be sent the family, to the Raleigh Christian Advocate, and the Henderson Gold Leaf for publi cation. Mr. R. J. CORBETT, Miss MAMIE MOORE, Miss MATTIE DANIEL, Committee. A MARVELOUS INVENTION. Wonders never cease. A machine has been invented that will cut, paste and hang wall paper. The field of inventions and discoveries seems to be unlimited. Notable among great discoveries is Dr. King's New Dis covery for Consumption. It has done a world of good for weak lungs and saved many a life. Thousands have used it and conquered Grip, Bron chitis, Pneumonia and Consumption. Their general verdict is: "It's the best and most reliable medicine for throat and lung troubles. Every 50c and $1.00 bottle is guaranteed by all druggists. Trial bottles free.

J!H Why 1 am going to buy the Epworth because it has a sweet, pure, sympa thetic tone the singing tone. I dislike a piano with a cheap, common, harsh tone, no matter how pretty the case. because Epworth sounding boards are made by the slow, old-fashioned, German process by hand giving greater vibration and resonance to the tone, and more life to it. I don't want my piano to get "tinny" or "thumpy'' after awhile, like so many pianos I have seen. because the action of the Epworth is easy and prompt repeats rapidly and has a delightful touch. I don't like to play on a piano that rattles or works sluggishly. because the Epworth is finished by the old reliable, slow process not rushed. I have seen pianos whose finish peels off after a while. because the Epworth has the strongest ten year warrant I ever saw; the Company takes all the risks of piano lasting. Most other warrants don't warrant the working parts, nor the sounding board from splitting. because I can buy the Epworth direct from the Company, instead of through an agent or dealer. I prefer to be my own dealer sell it to myself and save that middle profit. It costs lots of money to sell pianos ordinarily, and that expense is a dead loss, which I avoid by buying the Epworth direct. besides the Company will send me a piano on trial. It must be perfect and satisfactory to me or they take it back. In this way I get to use my own judgment and no agent around to worry me. Above are some of the reasons Epworth pianoi are growing in favor with intelligent buyers. Out catalogue explains a number of other inter esting points. Tells how some pianos soon become bard and metallic while others seem to get better and better sweeter toned with use.
