It must be elastic enough to act as a cushion for the pounding of countless foot steps, without breaking. It must be tough enough to resist the scraping of moving furniture and it must be unharmed by water—hot or cold. If it has all of these merits and in addition, provides a beautiful £nish—then it is a good floor varnish. We offer LoWE BROTHERS NEPTUNITE FLOOR VARNISH—a really good floor varnish. L Aberdeen Hardware Co. Aberdeen, N. C. In the passing of James McNeill Johnson at Aberdeen, N. C., Old Be thesda Church lost a devoted Elder, Aberdeen lost a valuable citizen, Moore County lost its dean of law yers, and its Poet Laureate, and a multitude of people lost a warm friend. Mr. Johnson was born in Moore County, the son of Scotch parents. His early life was spent at Keyser, N. C., now Addor, where he was or dained an Elder. Later he came to Aberdeen and in 1898 was ordained a Deacon in the Bethesda Church, in which capacity he served faithfully until 1930, and on June 15th, just a few months before his death, he was elected and installed an Elder here. For 32 years he was a model Deacon, giving himself untiringly to the work of the Deacons, and once refused the office of an Elder because he felt the church needed him more as a Deacon. He was admitted to the Bar in 1898 and lived to lead one of the leading law firms of this part of the state, and died the dean of his profession in this county. He was a ipublic-spirit- ed man, ever thoughtful for the less fortunate members of his community, giving much of his time and worldly possessions to charity. Some yeiars ago he established a foundation for the County Home under the terms of which the inmates were served boun tiful Christmas dinners each year. His other charitable enterprices are too numerous to record here, but this was typical of the man that he could leave no one in want if there was anything that could be done about it. He was a writer of note. His book, “A Thousand Years vdth Royalty,’^ has been termed one of the best his tories of English Kings. He was tha author of *‘Free Verse and Para phrase,” a book of beautiful poems, and his latest work, entitled: “Tally- rand and Firefly,” is still in the hands of the publishers, to be released soon. Sometime ago he was honored with the title of “Poet Laureate of Moore County’ by the County Board of Commissioners. Quoting from the beautiful account of this passing in The Pilot: “At 3 oclock on Christmas morning came the end of a life of nearly 71 years of love and devotion to his family, his church, his county, state an-d nation. His was a life of sej*vice, unstinted, self-sacrificing, fulsome. He was laid to rest in the cemetery of his beloved Bethesda. The following resolutions were adopted by the Session of Bethesda Church: WHEREAS, God in his Providence has removed from our midst a beloved elder, James McNeill Johnson, there fore be it resolved: 1. That we place on record the deep sense of our loss, and bear wit ness to his faithfulness and devotion to the church; 2. That we shall try to emulate in | our lives, and commend, to others, the virtues that his life, his faith, and his activities have taught us; 8. That we extend our deep sym pathy to the family of our friend and elder in their great sorrow, and 4. That we send copies of thesi3 resolutions to his family, to The Christian Observer, to the Presbyter ian Standarc^ The Pilot, and also spread them upon the pages of our sessional records as a witness to the services of one who “wrought right eousness .... and obtained the prom ises.” E.
