Soon after the war there was a man
well known, but whose name need
not be mentioned, who then lived in
Illinois, and was evidently consump
tive. He had $10,000 life insurance
which be had placed on his life be
fore he became marked. The doctors
told him be could not live six mouths;
his friends encouraged him the same
way. He told them he did rot think
he would live that long, and that he
did not care if he died the* next day.
He made a sale of his life insurance
policy at seventy-five cents on the
dollar, and came to Asheville, N. C.
Finding the climate there too cold
and raw he came on t > Aiken. The
first thing he did after coming here
was to buy a cemetery lot, which he
got very cheap, for there was never
much demand for that sort of real es
tate in this vicinity. While he was
fixing it up, and while he was culti
vating the acquaintance of an under
taker, he began to get better. He
had one lung when he came here, and
you could hear him breathe a block
away. He lingered until he began to
pick up. and the first thing we knew
he had sold bis lot in the cemetery.
He actually grew a new lung without
taking anything except tbe blessed
atmosphere of this glorious climate.
He got well of the consumption. He
went into business on his life insu
rance money, and lived ten years.
His death was caused then by an ac-
y cident. He had grown to be a man
of easy circumstances before he de
parted this life.

Reslguatlun of Rev. Lucius Cuthbert.
* Aiken, S. C., Feb. 23, 1892.
Tu the Aiken Baptist Church:
Dear Brethren : 1 beg leave to ten
der my resignation as pastor of the
church. And, so fully convinced am L
as to my duty in the matter, that I also,
beg that you accept it at once, without
further reference to a committee.
Never was the time for this action so
opportune as now. The noble Dr. Nel
son will act as supply until the middle
of April. And this time will enable
you to look around and select a suitable
successor. And may the Great Head of
the church guide you in all your de
liberations. Your affectionate pastor,
Lucius Cuthbert.
ACTION OF THE CHURCH.
An extra conference was called at the
Baptist Church Sunday afternoon for
the purpose of considering the resigna
tion of their pastor. Rev. Lucins Cuth
bert. On motion the resignation was
accepted, and the following resolutions
were offered and unanimously adopted :
Whereas, Our pastor, the Rev. Lu
cius Cuthbert, in the providence of God
has felt It his duty to resign the charge
of the Aiken Baptist Church, of which
he has been the efficient pastor at three
separate and distinct periods, and al
ways to the edification of God’s chil
dren and the good of the Redeemer’s
kingdom; therefore
2iesolve.d, That we, the Aiken Bap
tist Church, in conference assembled, do
hereby accept the resignation of our
pastor, however, keenly we may feel
the thrill of sorrow that pervades every
breast.
Resolved, That while, we are called
upon to part with Brother Cuthbert, we
shall ever fondly cherish his memory as
one who has always fearlessly and faith
fully carried forward the charge com
mitted to his care under any and all cir
cumstances to the glory of God, and the
interest of his church.
Resolved, That we do most sincerely
appreciate the kindly services of Brother
Cuthbert, the best days of whose life
have been freely given to the work that
las always lain nearest his heart.
‘ Resolved, That we deeply deplore the
separation of pastor and people, but we
shall ever pray that heaven’s richest
blessings may descend upon him and his
faithful wife, who has been with, him
an efficient co-worker and whose kindly
admonitions and prayers w’e so much
desire to be continued in our various
church and Sunday-school work.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
forwarded to our dear Brother Cuthbert,
that they be recorded in the minute
book of our church, and that a copy of
the same be sent to the Baptist Courier
for publication.
A call was then extended to Dr. W.
A. Nelson, of Asheville, N. C. t who has
taken the matter under advisement. He
has been conducting a very interesting
meeting at this church for two weeks,
the result of which gaye the church an
additional membership of twenty-six
persons, a large proportion of this num
ber coming from the Sunday school. Dr.
Nelson has been acting as the supply of
Liu. church by request of the beloved
pastor. Rev. Lucius Cuthbert. Yester
day he left for a ten days trip to Florida
aftr which he will r eturn.
On next Sunday morning and even
ing the pulpit will be filled by Rev.
