Rutha Alexander and claimed for its victor her third son, Elisha Alexander. His death was caused from a fall he received while hauling wood the 8th of January, 1921. He attempted to put a big stick of wood on the wagon and got entangled in some brush which threw hirm to the ground and paralyzed the I lower part of his body, which caused him to never walk any wore. He suffered five weeks, but bore it with out one word. His suffering never! worried him one bit. When any one asked him how he was feeling he always said, "I am feeling all right." His death will bring sorrow to many throughout. the county where he has lived all his life and took care of his aged mother. lie never united with any church, but was a good, honest, tirut hful. upright man, always loyal to his friends and neighbors. and a charitable giver to the poor and needy. If I'lisha had lived until the 29th day of March, 19121 , he would have been fifty years old. He leaves an aged mother, Mrs. Rutha Alex ander, and four brothers, Sarge, tob-' ert, Arthur and Bleve, and a host of friends and relatives to mourn his l death. His father and two brothes t andl one sister pre'cedled himi to the grav'e several years ago. F'uneral services were cond~ucted at his home( in the presence of a large crowd of I sorrowing friends and relatives. Rev. W. TI. A bbott heing in charge.

In these dark days of turmoil and ncertainty, when the world is bath. d in trouble, and lift's sinking sU rems to be going down without any ope of ever rising again, and when he beautiful leaves and flowers of * fe, which once shed their sweet frag.. aince on the liv&'s of millions, seem o he fading away, do we all not see nd fe.l that kindness is much need.. d? I )o we not all feel that we have eetded its i resence more in our own ves? Friends. as you read this, do ot think that I am trying to get ou into a trap, for I humbly confesa an not, but if I can help you on fe's journey, with a few sugges ions, I have reason to believe ' u ill appreciate these words. Fathern nd mothers, may 1 ask you to be imd to your children. The kind reatment you give them will never e lost. I am sorry I have ever poken an unkind word. Friends, did on know that there are inilliens of oys and girls away from home today ecause they were unkindly treated? hall I say more? There are til ions on those far off burning shores, aecause they were treated unkindly. loys, girls and children, be kind to ur fathers and mothers; they will ot be with you always. Many of rou know me, and if you wi,1 pardon ne I will give a word of testimonw. 'welve Nears ago I was a lost mat, far out' on the mountains, so bleak and so cold. I sought rest; no res6 could be found; I sought a place to. rest my weary feet, but the way was slippery. I cried, I prayed, all seem ed to be dark. I kept praying and pleading with God until His dear Son came and lifted the load and set me free. Since that time I have been in touch with Him. The desire of my heart has been to treat every person kindly. Friends, I want to o to heaven when I leave this world. tiany of you that read this may be liscouraged with your life. Let mo )Oint you to .Jesus; He will take the oud and h2lp you to be more kind. \gain, it, takes a life filled with wayer to manifest the spirit of kind less. We are so drained and weaken *d by the fall that we have within i> we are not savad, a sin princi hle that gets the advantage of us, ,'ft causes us to be unkind. While do not say that every word that a an shapes after he has received the holy Spirit, will be pleasing to the ,(Prd, whien we have fulflled the rartice of kindness in our lines we ave to a great extent mastered the 'hrist iani Ii fe. This is the means hat God0( has used, is using and will tSE to have nmillions on the banks of' weet dleliverance. G. l'arle C'renshaw, Ceuntral, S. C.
