glffNT€NNIAL
Many have a wrong idea of
Christianity. They think of it
as a killjoy. For the Christian
life, as it is generally lived, is
not a happy life.
A keen observer once said,
“There are some Christians
who seem to have a religion
that makes them miserable.
They’re like a man with a
headache. He doesn’t want
to get rid of his head, but it
hurts him to keep it. You
can’t expect outsiders to seek
very earnestly for anything so
uncomfortable.”
But the Christian life ought
to be, not something to make
one miserable, but to make
him happy.
Long ago one said from
experience in Psalm 144:15,
“Happy is that people whose
God is the Lord.”
But some who profess to
be people of God have no
happiness because they try to
half-live the Christian life. But
half a conversion is no more
good than half a life-boat.
Happiness does not come
through a discipleship that is
half-hearted but whole-heart-

Burial was at City cemetery in
Whitewright.
Mr. Hunter was born Jan. 22,
1900 at Whitewright, son of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Seth Collum
Hunter. He married Audrey
Beatrice Bennett on June 27,
1925, at Trenton. He was a
member of the Whitewright
Church of Christ.
Mr. Hunter was known to
most as a quiet but outstanding
person. He was not only a
loving family man but a con-
genial, hardworking employee
and a “dear friend” to all. His
dry sense of humor endeared
him to everyone, both young
and old.
He loved to attend church
services and his faithfulness will
be remembered always. He was
a happy and determined person
even though he was not well his
latter days. He will be missed
each and everyday as he left
behind many wonderful me-
mories to a host of relatives and
friends.
