THURSDAY, DEC. 12, 1918 These lessons of experiences go deeper than those taught in any other school. o Mind is the greatest power but it depends much on the physical fitness of the individual. ? ?o Some have had touches of bad cold and said they believed they had the influenza. Don't be uneasy, vhen you have it, you will know it. The only way to see through a solid wall where there is no peep hole, is to look over it, or around it; or scratch under it. There is always a way. o Influenza is only the "grippe" to use the common expression. People have had it before. It is no new disease. Don't let anybody fool you into thinking it is. , o Exercise is a good thing and is really necessary to good health, to a certain extent; but much less than is usually prescribed is more than j ] enough. Why should athletes die young ? ] o It takes a good deal of will power to keep an even keel while sailing ] through this world against the rocks o: opposition that "sore-heads" an 1 1 "dead-beats" try to put up against the course. o 1 The influenza, the germs of which this paper thinks, were sent here in , some way by Germany; is bad enough. So, please don't try to frighten the people with visions of i still worse diseases that some of the soldiers may bring home with them from the slums of Europe. I o 1 < HARD KNOCKS. Nothing causes a man to think more and deeper than the hard knocks of the world that comes to him sooner or later. Some people i have no capacity for hard or deep thinking, because the brain, which \s the basis of thinking, is lacking in the make-up.

The death angel visited our home and took from us our darling brother and son. He was called to fight for his country and gave his life for his country. He was at Camp Jackson six weeks and nine days when lie died. He was only sick eleven days with pneumonia. He bore his sufferings with patience and was ready to go when God called him. He joined the church in early life and while at camp would often write home that he was reading his Bible and praying and said he was saved. His Captain said he was a good, excellent soldier. He was born June 17, 1896, and died Oct. 12, 1918. 0, how hard it was to give him up, , but we have all assurance that he i? ] at rest. He leaves a father, mother, two sisters, and one brother; three ] sisters and three brothers preceded i him to the grave. May we all live a < life so as to meet him in Heaven, j where there will be no more parting His body was laid to rest in the \ Pleasant View cemetery on Oct. 15, 1918. j Life is oh! so lonesome, home is sad. We cannot help from weeping, ] since our darling brother fell asleep. r I He is gone but not forgotten, Never will his memory facie; t sweet thoughts will ever linger 'Round the grave where he is laid. L A darling from us is gone, j A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our home j Which never can be filled. f Our life is lonesome, home is sad; Our hearts are filled with pain, f We feel like one who will never Know a happy day in life again. f How sad today our troubled hearts, f How full our eyes with tears; For death has robbed us of one j We thought was ours for years. f Far beyond this world of changes, Far beyond this world of care; j We shall find our missing darling In our Father's mansion fair. 1 Heaven retaineth now our treasure, f Earth the lonely casket keeps; \nd the sunbeams love to linger I Where our darling brothre sleeps. [t was God who took our precious j darling, j He alone can heal each bleeding I heart; j ^ With hope let us look to the glad morning g When we meet no more to part. 2 Written by his loving sister, Ruby Williamson. jNichols, S.
