Tl0 last years of her life were filled with pain and suffering, but the spirit of light and sweetness that had been with her in all the past years did not leave her till the "shadows of the valley" closed over her and she was at rest. J. M. TEMPLETOX This mother in Israel was converted in 1879 under the ministry of Rev R.

Beaman, and united with the M. E. Church, South. In this relation she led a consistent life till death suddenly set her spirit free. She ceased at once to work and live.

Sister Pearce was a noble helpmeet. Her married life was a union of heart, life and fortune. By united faith, industry and economy, this couple led all their children, except the youngest, into the Methodist church, gave them good educational advantages, and a competency of this world's goods. In person, the deceased was of fine commanding appearance, with strong convictions and inflexible purpose, without hypocrisy, and the soul of honor. She was a true friend, a kind neighbor, a devoted wife and mother and a loyal member of the church.

Her home was a preacher's home. Here he always found sweet rest and food suitable for body and spirit. A large congregation assembled at Lane's Chapel to witness the funeral and pay their loving tribute to her memory, attesting the esteem in which she was held. A husband, eight children and many relatives and friends are bereaved by this untimely death. May a gracious Father keep them all unto eternal life.

W. II. TOWNSEND. JONES. Sarah Catherine Jones died at the home of her daughter, Mrs.

Jos. K. Mason, in Durham, N. September 30, 1904. She was a daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. William Merritt, of Chatham County, and was born September 16, 1828. In 1849 she became the wife of the late Rufus H. Jones, of Wake County, and for almost a third of a century the little village of Cary had been their home. Mrs.

Jones belonged to that splendid type of gentlewoman that developed under our genial Southern skies in the olden time, and her character was such as lent strength, charm and sweetness to the community wherein her lot was cast. Without display, she was a social force that always made for that which was highest and best among her neighbors; without ostentation she was a power in the. spiritual life of her church that tended to strength- For LaGrippe and Influenza use CHENEY'S closely to the life of Jesus of Nazareth. May the few days left to the aged husband be brightened by the prospects of an early reunion in the celestial city; and may the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, comfort each of the remaining loved ones.

II. BROWN. BRICK HOUSE. Nathan Gilbert Brickhouse, born in Tyrrell County, N. December 2G, 1829, entered into rest October 18, 1904, aged seventy-five years.

Brother Brickhouse professed faith and joined Wesley M. E. Church, on the Columbia Circuit, at the age of eighteen years, and all his life he was faithful and loyal to the church of his choice. He lived and served his day and generation. He loved his church with a devotion which prompted and led him to make provision for her needs, and until old age and infirmities prevented, he was always in his place at the services ready and willing to do what he could for the advancement of the Master's cause and the church he loved so well.

Brother Brickhouse took great interest in young people, especially young men, and in every meeting, and upon all occasions, strove with them to accept the Lord and become His followers. He leaves a widow and three grown children, two sons and a daughter, who are following in the footsteps of husband and father, and who look forward with assurance to meeting him again. Of such, we can truly say: "There are no dead, we fall asleep, To waken where they never weep. We close our eyes on pain and sin, Our breath ebbs out, but life flows in." WM. P.

CONSTABLE. JONES. Rufus II. Jones was born in Wake County, N. December, 31, 1819, graduated at the University of North Carolina in 1843, married Sarah Catherine Merritt in 1849, and died at Cary, N.

August 8, 1903. This is the record of a life that flowed smoothly unmarked by startling incidents clean, equable, serene, successful. Mr. Jones was a courteous, sweet-tempered, unassuming, Christian gentleman of marked intelligence and refined nature, possessing those noble-qualities of mind and heart that command the love and respect of men. He was a devout member of the Methodist church and a faithful, constant attendant upon all of its services.

Earnest and sincere in his religious life, just, upright and conscientious in all his dealings, his career was at once an example and an inspiration to all who would live on a high moral and religious plane. Without seeking them, he was called to fiU positions of honor and trust in civic life, but he will be remembered by our people as the counsellor, the safe adviser, the decreet and trusted friend and associate. I have never known a more generous, unselfish nature than his, or one 'more considerate of the rights and feclim of others, and so free from enw jealousy and those little defects that so often mar a fine character. He left his children the priceless heritage of a noble, blameh life and an honorable name, and hh closintr years were full of that hone and trrst that bears the snirit of the Christian in assurance and safety of the realms ot the great unknown.

I feel a personal loss in his death. God bless the relatives left behind, and help them to meet our brother in heaven. D. C. GEDDIE.

WALTERS. Mary Sudie Walters, the wife of Bro. W. W. Walters, died at her home, in Gates County, N.

on the evening of January ISth, 1905. For several months she had been upon the bed of affliction. Her end was daily expected for more than a week before it came. When it did come it was quiet and peaceful. The writer asked her of her spiritual state just about two weeks before her death, and he found that all was well with her soul.

She had been for many years a member of Savage's church, which was about a mile and a half from her home. She leaves to mourn for her an afflicted husband, several daughters and several sons, besides other near relatives and many friends. Her body was buried just in front of the house there to await the resurrection morn. Our sympathies go out to the bereaved, and our prayers ascend to God in their behalf. W.

H. BROWN. PARKER. The 31st day of December, 1904, brought to a close the long life of Bro. Edmund J.

Parker, of Gates County, N. C. For more than eighty years he had been an inhabitant of this earth. Brother Parker was a member of Savage's church, on the North Gates charge, but was never able to attend services after the writer came to the charge. His affliction that kept him at home, and that finally carried him to his eternal home, was a cancer which was upon his face.

Our brother spent his last days in earnestly perusing the pages of God's Word and meditating upon their contents. For several weeks before his death he was full to overflowing, and gave expression to his fulness in shouts of praise to his God. He passed through the door of this world into that of eternity without a struggle. May God's richest blessings rest upon the large family left behind and may their farewell to this world be as bright and as happv as was his. W.

H. BROWN. RODGERS. On the 29th of November, 1904, Sister Diana Rodgers passed from earth into eternity. Sister Rodgers was years old at her death, and for years had been a member of the M.

E. Church, South. In she was married to Bro. Robert Rodgers, whom she left to mourn for his companion. Sister Rodgers was a shut-in for a long time, and at times suffered a great deal.

But through all of her trials, she was patient and submissive. The high esteem in which she was held by all who knew can best be learned from the words of a young man in her neighborhood. "I would give anything in the world if I could live the life she has lived; she was one of the best women I ever knew." These words bear to her memory the highest tribute that, in the writer's estimation, can be paid to a human creature. For it is a declaration by one who was born and reared near her that her life conformed very 1 Permanent Cure Guaranteed, without knife, X-Rav, Arsenic orAcids; no inconvenience.
