A LUBRICANT- NOT A LAXATIVE as president of the Ladies' Missionary Society of the Commerce Presbyterian Church, and more recently as presi dent of the Athens Presbyterial. Mrs. Simpson's splendid services in behalf of her church and her Maker have left the indelible impress of her Chris tian character on all with whom she came in contact. Not only will she be missed in her home, but also in her church, in the Presbyterial and throughout this entire section, but those who mourn her loss are not left without hope, for she was certainly one of the finest Christian characters and best church workers throughout all North Georgia Presbyterianism. The funeral services occurred in Commerce Presbyterian Church Thurs day morning at eleven o'clock. Rev. Samuel J. Cartledge, pastor of the Prince Avenue Presbyterian Church of Athens, C?a.. was in charge, and de livered a splendid funeral oration on the life, character, and good works of this good woman. Dr. E. L. Hill, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Athens, (Ja., opened the funeral services with one of the most beautiful, sympathetic and all to gether appropriate prayers which was ever heard upon a similar occasion, and there was not a dry eye in the large congregation at the close of Dr. Hill's prayer. After the services here, the inter ment occurred in the cemetery at Dan ielsville, Ga. The exercises at Dan ielsville being in charge of Revs. Messrs. Roswell and Langford. Mrs. Simpson had hardly reached the meridian of life, and yet during her short life, her days were filled with acts of loving kindness to the sick and suffering, and her life was de voted to the service of her Maker and the salvation of souls. Mrs. Simpson was possibly known and loved for her many splendid Chris tian traits of character by a larger number of people than any other in the entire Presbyterial of Athens, and the church was crowded with those not only from Commerce, but from all sections >f the Athens Pres bytery, who came to pay their last tribute of respect to the beloved dead. R. E. J. Smith. MIIS. HKTT1K .1. FRIEND, "At her home, 'Rose Mill," Charlotte County, Va.. Mrs. Bettie J. Friend, widow of the late Robert Morton Friend, fell asleep on the afternoon of July 28, 1922. "Mrs. Friend was the eldest daugh ter of the late Charles and Eliza El liot Henderson, and was born at 'Chauletta,' Prince Edward County, Va., May 7, 1846. She was educated in private schools and at the Farm ville Seminary, taking full advantage of her educational opportunities. She was at an early age well fitted to enter upon the duties of life. On November !?, 1 Si;r>, she married Robert Morton Friend, only son of the late William (1. Friend, of 'Pine Grove,' Charlotte County, and they made their home at ?Rose llill,' where she spent the re mainder of her long and useful life. "Mr. Friend died on December IS, 1891, leaving her the care and train ing of the young children, to which trust she was most faithful. "She is survived by one sister, Mrs. II. (). Baldwin, of Buckingham County, Va., and one brother, William L. Hen derson, who still resides at the old home in Prince Edward County, Va. Her children are: Charles H., of South Boston; Thomas W., Robert M., Joseph (!., William (1., Susan Morton, and Eliza Henderson, all of Drakes Branch. "On the afternoon of July 29th, she was laid to rest in burying ground of the Drakes Branch Presbyterian Church, the church where she had worshiped for so many years." Mrs. Friend's sterling Christian character, manifesting itself in a most faithful, good and useful life, has written her true eulogy, and shines on as her bright enduring memorial. To know how she endured, and what she accomplished, is to know that she was strong of mind, and true of heart. Her lifo's story places her high in the noble list of the great in faith, the heroic in courage, the patient in suffering, and the devoted to duty. She was a "living epistle" wherein could be read and known of all the exceeding riches and all sufficiency of divine grace. When she was left alone to run her farm, and rear her young family of seven, she faced her heavy task with resolute courage, and, with line judg ment and great diligence, successfully conducted her affairs. She answered well the description given by thn wise man of the "?worthy woman." Hers was an eminently Christian home. She "ruled Well her house" and "commanded her children after her in the fear of God." Truly there was nothing that she could do for their welfare and happiness that was left undone. She has her reward in their worthy Christian characters and their useful lives. With one voice they "rise up and call her blessed," and declare that she was a most wise, faithful, loving and self-sacrificing mother. While earnest and sober-minded, Mrs. Friend was habitually bright and cheerful. Though not strong in health, she met her constant and heavy duties with a smile and a song. And, with all that was upon her, she was yet the very soul of whole-souled hos pitality. How many could tell of her wide-open door, her hearty welcome, and her abundant good cheer! Mrs. Friend united with the Pres byterian Church early in life, and was a faithful and devoted member to the end. She was deeply versed and well grounded in the Holy Scriptures, and was a rarely attentive, intelligent and appreciative hearer of the preached word, and was also a "doer of the word." She was a kind neighbor, a loyal friend, and good to all: she "abounded in every good word and work." She will be greatly missed in the church, and by her many friends. Having "served her generation well by the will of God" and "finished her course," she could say: "I have fought a good fight, I have kept the faith." She has been welcomed with her Master's "Well done" and has "received the crown of life at His hands." W. McC. M.
