Try it and see if it would not. For some weeks the face of a mi!d- tempered, sweet-dispositioned little lady who had become familiar to the residents of Gaffney because of ber daily drives about the city in the discharge of her duties, has been missing. It is with regrets we must say her absence henceforth will be perma nent. Answering the summons that we ail must answer sooner or later, Mary Ellen. \*ife of Prof. John R. Mack, principal of Cooper-Limestone Institute, went to her final reward last Saturday morning about four o’clock. Mrs. Mack had been sick about five weeks. From the first she began to decline. At times she would rally only to decline again. A couple of weeks ago it was decided to take ber to some health resort hut she had already become too iil to be moved. Learned doctors and skilled niirses did all in their power for the patient sufferer but to no avail. She had iinished her course and had been called up higher to receive the "well done, thou good and faithful ser vant,” of her Master. Mrs. Mack was a Miss Darby, of Newberry. She was in her thirty- ninth year. She was the mother of three children, two of whom, with her devoted husband, survive her. Prof, and Mrs. Mack moved to Gaffney two years ego last vein ter to take charge of Cooper-Limestone. Mrs. Mack was of untiring energy and the phenominal success which lias attended that institution for the past two years is us much due to her labors as to that of Mr. Mad: him self. She was a lady of rare busi ness talents and assisted herhusband as only a good woman can. She was also a devoted Christain woman and the good examples she set for the students who have attended the in stitute since she has been connected with it will live ever after. Gatlney can ill afford to give up such a shining star, hut then we all must submil to His will, The funeral services were con ducted in the chape! of the institute Sunday morning at 10:550 by Rev. II. P. Robertson, of the First Baptist Church. The chapel was filled with the friends of the family who came to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased. The services were very impressive. The singing was especially appropriate. After the regular services by Mr. Robertson Prof. H. P. Griffith delivered what might justly be termed the funeral oration. He spoke in parts as fol lows : My friends, it is very hard for any man to know and to say just what ought to be said on an occasion like this. We stand face to face with a solemn over-powering fact. It is strange—passing strange—just as strange as it was to us in childhood, when we were filled with awe by its mystery and over-shadowing presence —the mystery and presence of death. I remember well that when I was a little boy at school, I had a play mate whom I dearly loved. One morning he was missing from ihe school and we were told that he was sick. Another morning came and he was still missing and we were told that he was worse, and before many days the word came that lie was dead. T^en I remember well how the over whelming mystery pressed upon our childish hearts, how wo walked on tin-toe and talked in whispers, and how a party of us went out into the woods, and one little fellow said, "it don’t seem like it is so, does it?” And we all said “no, it don't, no, it donT.” But it was so. and it is so and it will be so till every human family on this earth shall have beeo broken up and gone hence to die no more. It is a common inheritance, a debt wo owe which can never bo dis counted, the MA old fashion, as a patriotic writCl^alled it. yet ever strange and evWrnew. But thank God with him, tor that other old fashion of eternaL life, for the old story of redemption, for the light of God’s truth that shines, even through the darkness of the grave! How dark and hopeless would be this short and precarious life if there was no light ahead, if there was no old story to be told! My friends, with a heart full of sympathy and sorrow, I feel utterly incompetent to portray Mrs. Mask’s strong, beautiful, exalted, well- rounded life. I feel utterly helpless in the presence of such a life. She consecrated her life to God in early youth, and through all the trials of w’omanhood, of wifehood and moth erhood her faith never weakened, her hopes were never darkened, her steps never faltered. She scattered sunshine along her pathway and flowers of hope and happiness and beauty sprang up in her foot-prints, while she ever pressed forward to higher and better and purer things than any she had left behind. Hhe ! was the light and joy and power in her family, and no one could long as sociate with her without having his heart strengthened, his hopes bright ened and his whole being tilled with influences calculated to make him a better, purer, and stronger man. I felt the power of her life, and 1 ifnow that what I say is true. There could be but one end to such a life ; whether it came in the morning, or at, noon day, or at the gathering twilight or the evening, the end must be peace- fur, hopeful and triumphant. She met it in the noonday, in the full maturity of her powers, with u calm ness and resignation that almost amounted to cheerfulness. She called her loved ones to her bedside and gave them her last assurances of love and devotion and the last requests of a wife and mother, with the calmness c.f one starting on a short, pleasant journey, or as if she were wrapping "the drapery of her couch about her and lying down to pleasant dreams.” Her words on that occasion were too sacred to be repeated by my poor, babbling tongue. But they will be treasured up iu the loving hearts of her noble husband and her devoted children, and they will be a guide and support, a cheer and u comfort, a sweet memory and a living power in many dark hours of trial and de spondency. How beautiful is such a life! How beautiful is such a.death ! How glorious the life beyond! Does not each one here pray in his heart, "Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like his.” My friends, that is the story in brief est outlines—that D my heart’s fee ble tribute of sympathy, affection, and admiration. The Lord grant that it may have done you good to hear it, and that we all may catch an inspiration from it to live better, purer and nobler lives, so that we,too, may meet the last enemy without fear or regret. The reuiains were then carried to Limestone Cemetery, and there de posited to await the summons on the last great day. The pall bearers were: Messrs. J. A. Carroll, H. 1’ Griffith. L. G. Byars, R. O. Sams, W. H. Richardson and J. D. Jones. GOtCHER’S GOOD PEOPLE. Strong, steady nerves Are needed for success t They aid Their Feiends Enjoy Them- seVe? in a Truly Royal Style.
