SEEK AT HOME
( By Ethelyn Richardson)
If -you cannot find the beauty
All around your own home spot,
There’s no use to go a chasing
For I’m sure that you cannot •
Find it in some distant land
When you cannot see it around you
Stretching far on every hand.
If the loveliness around you
From your soul is always hid
There’s no need to be roaming
To an Egyptian Pyramid,
Mountains, rivers, hills and valleys
Grassy lawns and stately trees
Look as well in your own country
As in those across the seas.
So if lovely things you vision
And you cannot thither roam
Don’t lament, but be content
With the beauty round your home.

OBITUARY
On April 25th, 1933, after the
western sun had gone beyond the
horizon and the twinkling stars had
put in an appearance in the etheral
world, the death angel once more
invaded the home of one of our
neighbors and shook the death dew
from its wings which fell upon the
animate body of Mrs. Sarah Eveline
DeBoard Kirk.
She was born August 22, 1853,
age 79 years, 8 months and 3 days.
She. by reason of her strength and
virtuous living, passed the allotted
time of three score years and ten.
Her vitality and right living exceeded
that by almost ten years.’ So may it
lie with all who are dilingent in
their activities and who have due
regard for the well-keeping of their
bodies and who look well to their
spiritual welfare.
Sister Kirk, like Mary of old.
chose the better port and gave her
heart, her body and her life for the
cause of Christ, In her early wdTnan
hood, she affiliated with the Metho
dist church at the age of 18 yearr
and continued to worship with the
congregation until death called her
to render an account of the deeds
done in the body. She could nobly
respond to the summons and ans
yer, "The old account was settled
long ago.”
She was twice married, the first
time to George Lee DeBoard. to
whom eight children, five of w!tbm
survive, were born. Mr. DeBoard
passed into the great beyond about
29 years ago. In 1909 she was mar
ried to Franklin Kirk, who also died
about 18 years ago.
Since her last hHsband'3 death,
she has made her home with her
daughter, Mrs. George Kirk. During
her stay there and in her declining
years she had the undivided atten
tion of her daughter, son and .neices
who were ever ready to minister to
her wants. In her last days when
death was inevitable,jthe loved ones
watched by the bed side until God
said. "It is enough, enter thou into
the joys of the Lord.”
The service was conducted by C.
W. Russell, assisted by Rev. Luther
Payne, of Cole Creek, Va., and Rev.
Spencer, of Grassy Creek, Va.
