A. R. William e. Gen. Sec. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. On tbe night of March 6, 1916, the spirit of Jesse Thomas Brown of Menola 1$. C. deoarted this life to go into the presence of God and bis soul was ushered into that Lnd of eternal bli?e whence tlie night cometh no more forever. The- newa of nia death was sadl.v recieved among bis Targe circle of friends. They realized that that gentle voice and pleasant smile would be heard and seen by them no more. We do not understand why one so greatly needejd and wanted from us but God's ways are passed human understanding. Sometime we will understand the mysteries that surround us. That gentle footstep and voice will be sorely missed. He will lie in form with us no more but his influence will continue to live among us as a reminder of liia sterling character and Christian life. He has left to mourn his loss a wife, ten chiidien, one brother and two sisters besides numerous relatives and freinds. Your hearts are crushed but the blessed as turranee of some glad day ^neeting him ill that Far Away City of God to spend eternity with him is a great comfort fend consolation. From childhood until death Mr. Brown was a faithful member of the Fritnd's Church of Cedar Grove N. O.; He is not lost en ttrely to Us eve^tup earth; a little farther off, and tiftt is all. * 4 Yes, we'll meet'agmio in tbe morn ing. * In the dawn of a fairer day; - When t$h night of watching and Witty it's dfirHness has pissed IK IEI0B1U. Our heart* are crushed and our home made desolate b.v the sudden passing away of our dear father, Thomas J. Basnight., on March 3, 1918, at his home near Creewell, aged 71 years and six days. Al though stricken very suddenly,' and passing away within teirmin utet, the suinmoiis found him ready and waiting to meet bis Lord. He was a faithful member of the Disciple Church at Scupper nong, where his seat was never vacant at any religous services, having attended services three times the Sunday before he died. He had always walked upright in the christian lifej faithful and true to every obligation of church and home. Indeed, his gentle na ture and manner drew others to him. for in his home and commu nity he was a true light, where be would make sacrifices to avoid im posing upon others. His sudden death not only brings sorrow to bis immediate family, but to an extrusive circle of friends and ac quaintances throughout the County and State. He was of a quiet, unassuming disposition, gentle and kind, and was loved by all who knew him. In his home with his family was where lie left the best and most lasting impressions of his christian achievements. May the impres sions of his pure life never become dim nor faint id our minds, and we have the comforting assurance that, while there comes the great est sorrow, to us slso comes the greatest joy when we think that he, who was so dear to us, dms been ministered unto by the Great Physician whose touch banishes ull suffering from the soul, and with whom to dwell eternally is the su preme rapture of all who put their trust iu Him. iJe was a man of sound judge ment and strong moral cnaracter, always standing for that which was highest aqd best in the com munity. He wus a kind neighbor, a sin cere friend, and a faithful servant of G<>d. He lived well, and died in the triumphs of the faith. Dear father, you have finished your life work, a devoted life of service for the Master, how hard to realize you have gone from us. How ? v-ill miss your sunny smile; but God's way is not ours, and we must submit to His will. He was so kind and instructive to us. and told us his prospects was a home in the heaven of rest, and it will only be a short lime till wife and children hepe to join him in that beautiful land where all is light. He has left a great heritage?the memory of a godly life?and he has only crossed over the river where, with the angels and loved ones gone before, he awaits our coming. The funeral services were con ducted on the following Sunday afternoon at the church by Rev. Lee in a very impressive manner among a large crowd of sorrow stricken relatives and friends, and his body was laid to rest in the cemetery to await the Resurrec tion morn. Oh! dear father, how we loved yoc, Rut with sufferings you are done. You have vleft this world of trouble, Where no sorrow will ever come. Gone to live among the Angels, In that happy home above, Where your voice *wifl s;ng the praises Of Christ's own redeeming love. Yes,"dear father, we did love you. And how sad it was to psrt! But God needed you in Heaven; Still it's simply crushed our hearts. But this blessed hope is left us. That we'll meet you up above In a glorious land of promise. Where all is joy, peaee and love.
