BRAXTON CRAIG The Woman's Missionary Society of the First Baptist church, In regular monthly assemblage, paused for a few minutes in honor and loving memory of one of our dearly beloved members who so recently has gone to receive the commendation of her Saviour and ours In the welcoming words, "Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been obedient and loyal to the Heavenly mission of sending the gospel of Jesus Christ into all the world, that all mankind might have life, and have It more abundantly, teaching all na tions to observe all things whatsoever Jesus has commanded you. That all nations should preach, practice and live Justice, truth, love, mercy. In the name of the Prince of Peace." Our dear departed sister in Christ came up to the measure of her ability her opportunity in responding to the calls for help. She was quiet and un assuming in her living and manner, but always had a gentle and en couraging word of hope and cheer for others. Because of serious ill health for several years she was unable to attend the services of the church which her husband served so accept ably as pastor. She accepted the loss, of her husband and two sons with fine Christian courage, and in a noble, spirit of "Thy Will Be Done." I We would commend her life to all those who knew and loved her as a living example worthy of our emula tion, and to her children, her rela tives our love, our sympathy, our prayers. MRS. H. D.
