MEMORIAL READ
TO LATE MRS. WOODS ^
At "th« impressive memorial service
of the W'oraan’s Auxiliary of the First
PreAsrterian church, held in Febru
ary, the follewinp tribute was read to
the late Mrs. D. J. Woods:
Mrs. John Gunn W'oods was bom
near historic Lexingxon, Va., on April
8, 1871. She was the daughter of the
late Giles Gunn^and his wife, Virginia
Morrison Gunn. Her father was of
Scotch deitcent, a native of Connecti
cut, coming South when he was twelve
years old; and her mother was of
ScotchJri^ descent, from Rockbridge
county, Virginia.
Before Mrs. W'oods was sixteen, her
parents moved to the little tow'n of
Vinton, near Roanoke, and there she
spent her girlhood in. the beautiful
valley of Virginia which she loved so
dearly. Later the family moved to
Salem where for a number of years
she devoted her life to caring for her
invalid loved ones.
On Februaag, 4xli, 1^20, she was
married, to Dr. David J. Woods, Who
at that time was the pastor of the
Presbyterian church of Covington,
Va. The next year Dr. Woods re
ceived the call to our own church in
Clinton and he and Mrs. Woods moved
here 'in January, 1921.
Mrs. Woods’ entire life was cen
tered in her home and her church. She
served most willingly and efficiently
in vario'os ofFices in the Auxiliary,
often at a serious tax to her strength.
She was deeply interested in every
branch of the work of the church, but
the cause of home missions seemed
most dear to her heart, and the loved
to plan gifts and boxes for the moun
tain work or for needy servants of her
Master in the, home mission field. Mrs.
Wood.s was always seeking out those
w'ho were old or lonely or in want and
.sharing /her home and her friendship
with them. She spent many hours with
Dr. Woods in visiting the members ^
the church, but especially those wiio
were in trouble of any kind.
Mrs. Woods’ cheerfulness in suffer
ing and her courage in facing her
physical weakness durihg the past
year, have been an inspiration to all
who knew her. Her enthusiasm was
contagious, and s^e enjoyed every day
as it came, and was- interested in ev
erything and every one around her.
She was ^ever happier than when en
tertaining in her own home and she
I made a most gracious hostess. As a
imember of the D. A. R., the Century
club, and the Friendly Dozen club, she
took an active part in the literary and
social life of Clinton.
During the past two years one of
•Mrs. Woods* chief interests has been
the Thursday morning prayer-band,
which met at the manse, under her
leadership. Our Heavenly Father alone
can judge of the far-reaching results
for good which came as direct answers
to the prayers of this group.
Mrs. Woods was laid to rest on Sun
day afternoon at the cemetery near
Salem, where her mother and O’ther
members of her family are buried. Be
sides her husband, she is survived by
— " ' — —
three sisters and two brothers and a
number of nieces, and nephews.
Our hearts go out fit deepest sym
pathy to Dr. Woods, but we knpw tha.^
as he has brought comfort to others,
he himself will ^ upheld and comfort
ed by the Holy Spjrit in his loneliness
and sorrow.
IN MEMORIAM
MRS. D. J* WOODS
L’Eavoi
When earth’s last picture is painted,
^and the tubes are twisted and dried,
W'hen the oli^est colors have faded, and
the youngest critic has died.
We shall rest, and, faith, we shall
need it—lie down for ah aeon or
two.
Till the Master of All Good Workmen
shall set us to work anew!
And those that were good will be
happy: they shall sit in a golden
chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league can
vas with brushes of comet’s hair;
They shall find real saints to draw
from—^Magdalene, Peter and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sitting
and never be tired at all;
And only the Master shall praise us,
and only the Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money, and
no one shall work for fame;
But each for the joy of the working,
and each, in his separate star.
Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for
the God of Things as They Are!
*rhis poem is so like the life and
character of our Mrs. John' Gunn
Woods. “And only the Master shall
pradae us,was her real desire.
She was married to Dr. D. J. Woods,
pastor of. the First Presbyterian
church of Clinton, S. C., Feb. 4, 1920,
and came to Clinton to live in 1921.
She became a member of the Mus-
grove’s Mill Chapter, D. A. R., March
i 1, 1921, being transferred from the

mont, Texas.

ued member.

Simple as a Shock Absorber!
Chevrolet’s "fully-enclosed” Knee-Action mechanism is
in reality a gig;antic shock absorber^ huilt solidly on to
(Chevrolet’s big, heavy frame, with the front wheel anchored
to the ^shock absorber” arm. The result: When the front
wteel comes in contact with a bump or hole, it rises or falls
to absorb the shock.

Admittedly, these 'Tully-enclosed” Knee-Action wheels are
more expensive to produce than other types. But Chevrolet
feels that the extra satisfaction thus assured for Chevrolet
owners is well worth the extra manufacturing cost. And this
same attitude is responsible for the presence of many other
”fine-car** features in the new Chevrolet; the large, roomy
gliding ride ol its best^ you also get several other
Knee-Action advantages not found in any oilier low-priced
car! The reason: Chevrolet's Knee-Action is of a very special
kind—and the patents on it are held exclusively by General
Motors. In this construction, the coil spring is safely and
solidly enclosed in a heavy siecl housing—to keep out dirt and Fisher body. The new Y -K frame. The cable-controlled brakes,
