V V " All that wa.8 mortal of the Rev. M. j. Johnson, the beloved pastor of the ^adson Presbyteran; Church, this -ity, was laid at rest Monday, De em bar 5th. < Jv,. vjV The Rev. Maxwell George^ Johnson /as born in 1855 at Winn?borp.S.C. He received' his' early' training mi ler the famous Richardson^^school, .rom which s rime of the noblest char acters of the _ l^gro ;>r^c> ; have ;ome. .He then Centered -ITj>!ward Uni .ersity, \yasHihg^n,-D.fC^iwhere" ho jomnletod both-3iifr-?clH5?ba? and theo logical courses'/ having completed the latter in tho spring of ;1875. ile scon afterwards took charge of the Ladson Presbyterial Church of this city/ where \^te earnestly served as shepherd and^father until his '(leathon period T&f 44 years. ' and respected by all who" knew him. A loyal and true husband, an in dulgent father, a good neighbor, a peacemaker at all times, a useful citizen, and a level headed, sane lea ner, and Chrisitlan Minister, a verit able "Israelite indeed in whom was no gulle." We will not undertake here to chronicle the many progressive ideas fostered by him during his long pastorate. That we leave to his bi ographer. The Rev. Bro. Johnson's death took everybody by surprise, in that he was apparently in the bast of ! health all day that Thursday- I meeting and greeting friend on the streets, even unto a late hour Thurs day night. Ile died of acute indi gestion, his suffering lasting only an hour. His funeral was held from the Ladson Presbyterian Chui'ch, where his entire liie had been en wrappped in that beloved congrega tion. Long before the hour of 1:30, when the funeral was to take place the church was packed to overflow ing. The services consisted of slm I pla eulogistic form. The Ladson choir sang beautiful ly-but it was sad-thc favorite songs of their late pastor. The fol lowing songs were sung in thc course OJ! the sarvices: '"Lead Kind ly Light," "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," "There is Rest for the Weary," and "When Peace Like a River, Etc." Scripture lessons were read by the Rev. Dr. C. J. Baker of Atlanta; the Rev. Dr. G. W. Long of Cheraw. A most fer vant prayer was offered by the Rev. 1 Dr. J. P. Foster of Sumter, a life companion of the deceased. 1 Fitting and beautiful euligiums were pronounced over the remains by Dr. C. M. Young, president of Harbi son College, Inno, S. C. thc Rt. Rev. W. D. Chappelle, bishop of the A. M. E. Church for the State of South Carolina; Dr. D. F. Thompson, pre sident of thc Interdenominational Ministers' Union; Dr. T. L Jones spoke in behalf of the Voorhees Normal and Industrial School, Den mark, S. C. I Tributes were paid unstintingly j by two senior deacons of the First I Presbyterian Church (white), viz: 1 Mr. T. S. Bryan, president of the R. L. Bryan Co., and W. A. Clark, at I torney, president of the Carolina Na tional Bank. Resolutions from thc , Interdenominational Union were ! read by the Rev. J. R. Jones, past? ;s from I. S.

(rings Bank n St, Columbia. of St. Mary's Episcopal church, this city. Mr. F. K. Butler, ruling elder of the Ladson Presbyterian church, paid a most glowing tribute to his fallen leader. Then came the funeral oration, which was brief, pointed and applicable in every re? spect, delivered by the eloquent prince ot' the pulpit, the Rev. Dr. I. D. Davis of Sumter, S. C. Text: Micah 2:10, "Arise ye, depart for this is not your rest." The lioral of ferings were many and beautiful and were indicative of the high regard and esteem in which the deceased was held, by the fellowmen of his home city. His remains were laid at rest in the Randolph cemetery and thus passesr from our uiiust a prince, ami a mighty man in Israel. Peace tb his asnea. JAMES W. LAW HORN DEAD December 8, 1921. James W. Law.?om, organizer, ?rmer deacon, trustee, and treaaur of the St. J olin Bap cist Church, uied at his home Wednesday, Nov. ?lj, 1921, at 8 o'clock p. m. at the age Uo axier being confined to his bed lidien, brothers and sisters to ourn his loss as well as a host of iends. But as we think of the stimoney he gave as he was about pass away through the gate of eath into endless joy, we are forced Co say in the words of those of old, spoken by the head of the church chat is mannar for yourselves. Being conscious of the fact that he must soon cease to be, he called his wife to his bedside and said. 'Let a christian place his hand upon a christian. As she came she said: talk to the Lord he replied I have done that long ago and He docs not forget. After calling the childrtn a round his bed he to'.d them he wan ted, them to live peaceable with one another then he sang the song "safe in the arms of Jesus," and said I am in Paradise just waiting on tho Lord. Bro. La whom now lays at rest in thc Family cemetery at Blythewood, S. C., he is a lost to his family the Church and community but we are glad to say with out doubt its Hea ven's gain.
