These regular, reputable physicians believe that tho combined skill of several trained specialists in chronic disease cases can accomplish moro than one doctor alone-in other words, in unity there is strength.

One year ago to-day we were cast into the deepest gloom when our loving husband and father quietly and peacefully slipped from our plane of existence into the Heavenly Realm. For a long time we were oh! so sad and desolate, and felt so helpless without him between U3 and the cold world. We had always gone to him for assistance, advice and comfort, and he had not once failed us. Life scorned cheerless, and we were disconsolate until it came to us that this was not his attitude toward bereavement, nor would he have it ours. Then we reviewed his life of love and self-sacrifice. What a noble heritage he has loft us! Our record of his lifo begins with his 16th year, when he carried his father, the Rev. C. P. Bruce, to tho station to go as a volunteer to the Confederate army. Before tho train came he had prevailed upon his fa ther to allow him to go in his stead, as tho father could ill be spared from his wife and eleven children, he be ing the eldest son. So he joined the colors and marched away to battle without even a mother's farewell kiss, and did not return until after the surrender. He learned to write as soon as he enlisted, so he could write homo. Although he was not 21 when the war closed, his father offered to set him free and give him a tract of land on which to build a home, he having engaged himself to a neighbor girl. This offer he refused and worked for his father for ten years, until all his brothers and sisters were grown. He said his parents had been rear ed in affluence and could not readily adapt themselves to the changed con ditions. His sweetheart waited for him, and they were married and reared and educated a large family. He set the pace for education in his community. He was a great Sun day school worker and was superin tendent of tho Townville Baptist I Sunday school for twenty consecu tive years. Ile was a strong advo I cate of and contributor to foreign missions and was an honorary dea I con of the Townville Baptist church at the time of his death. Many poor have celled on him for I help, and many sick and dying for prayer, and he always responded. But he was in advance of his age, and not always understood, but, like .lob of old, he endured persecution with meekness, and eventually tri umphed over his persecutors, He was a striking example of virtue, of pru dence, of valor, of courage. His oldest grandson in each fam ily aro his "namesakes," and de scendants yet unborn shall hear his name and strive to emulate his vir tues. We have preserved his letters, and think it fitting to close this sketch with tho injunction with which he closed the last lotter he ever wrote. He wrote it to his son-in-law, Z. G. Odom, just throe days before the be ginning of his laBt Illness. The extract follows: * * * "get ready, which I will do ?ight away. I will close. Be good.' Remember you are a representative of Jesus Christ, and while Ho repre sents you before a Father's throne you must represent Him while you live here in the world. Jesus says: 'If you lovo Me, you will koop my commandments.' I will closo. Lov ingly, your Father. ( Advertisement.)
