T. Sumiters' daughter, which, was eulogized >y Dr. E. P. Elljs, presiding elder if the Spartanburg district. He used is a subject. ' "The Universality of Jeathf which wITs dDl'llssutl?under wo topics, first, "Knowing that we nust die;" seconiV "Making Prepaion." I have never witnessed a more uni[ue and masterful eulogy. To my nind and way of thinking I)r. Ellis s'in a class to himself when it comes o explaining the Bible without any ;reat emotion-and yet grip his hearrs with greajt/ attention both with loquence and logic. I think such a character should be it the head of some of our departrtents as a general officer, because le is a student of the Bible and a irolific writer.
