After a long illness, during which
she suffered with increasing discom-
fort, Mrs. Mary West Beatty, one of
our beloved members, passed away
Saturday, falling asleep as gently as
a child. She had been removed
from the hospital to the home of T.
D. Whiteman and wife, who have
ministered to the deceased in the
broadest sense of Christianity. On
Saturday, following Mrs. Beatty’s
refreshening, and with the morning
paper in her hand, as she sat in her
invalid’s chair by her bed, the angel
of Death came swiftly and silently,
taking away the brave spirit of one
who fought valiantly through all of
her life. She was ready to go, hav-
arrangements, even to the selection
of her pall bearers. A beautiful ser-
vice was conducted Sunday at the
church by the pastor, followed by
burial in the Oakwood cemetery. She
leaves a sister, Miss Decca West and
a brother, Stark West, to mourn her
going away.
Another aged person to whom
death came swiftly and without warn-
ing was the father of Dr. I. W.
Jenkins, who died suddenly at the
home of a son in Hughes Springs.
He was 87 years of age, and the fa-
ther of 8 sons, 6 of whom became
physicians, one a druggist, and the
other was claimed by death. The de-
ceased was buried at Italy in the
family burying ground. He came here
from Alabama, was a Confederate
veteran, going through the period of
reconstruction as a charter member
of the old Ku Klux Klan. He has
been a worshiper in our church on
his visits to his son here.
Mrs. J. M. Blackford is another of
our members in grief because of the
loss of her mother at Rogers on last
Tuesday. She was buried on Wednes-
day at the family cemetery.
Miss Sue Thomason continues ill
at her home, 2001 Fort Avenue.

Battle Creek, where she will be for
some time. Her grandmother, Mrs.
E. T. Moore, who resides with her,
has gone to Austin.
Dr. C. E. Rayburn has returned
from Mayo Bros. Clinic, where he has
been for some weeks. His family,
Mrs. Rayburn and two daughters,
Frances and Margaret, have returned,
also, from Galveston, where they
visited Mrs. Rayburn’s mother.
Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Jones spent
the week-end in Dallas. In the lat-
ter’s absence, Mrs. George Barker
presided as president of the Philathea
class on Sunday.
Our memebers will regret to learn
that Mrs. Sam Seat, one of our most
loyal, but usually silent, workers, is
suffering with a severe infection of
the ear, which confines her to her
bed. We hope that she will soon be
relieved of her suffering.
Mrs. Otis De Hay, our secretary, is
on her vacation for a few days, but
not so far away that she is not keep-
ing an eye on things in the office.
She will be in at times, as need pre-
‘sents itself. We are sure that the
entire church wishes her an enjoyable
rest.
Mrs. Louise Stolte is ill at her home
1801 Alexander.
The entire collection of the Sunday
School, around $25., went to the
Methodist Home, Sunday, for an
emergency.
The singing of the Methodist Home
choir at our church service, Sunday
evening, was greatly enjoyed by the
night audience. They will occupy the
choir loft, this coming Sunday even-
ing, and rehearsed a beautiful anthem
at the close of the service, which
will be given Sunday night.
Special praise came from the at-
tendants on the Men’s Fellowship

o We hear much of the sacrifices that mothers make.
They are great and wonderful and beautiful, but they
are not greater, no more wonderful, nor more beautiful
than that of fathers who spend their whole lives toiling
for their families, who lavish all the money that they
make on their children, who merge their every hope and
ambition in their children, who wear their year-before-
8 last overcoats that their girls may have finery, who
8 work through broiling summers and freezing winters
8 that their children may have vacations.
