DEAD

C. T. Ingram has Passed Away

 

One of the saddest words of the English language is the word dead. On hearing this word, we pause, and a flood of thoughts come over us, which solemnize the passing moment. When one, in the younger walks of life is taken away, there is a deep sadness and we ask, why, in life's early morning, so soon, called away. When one, in the prime of life is called to render an account in the great court of God, we are at a loss to know the wisdom of he Divine. It is truly sad when even old age must obey the summons of the Omnipotent and yeild to nature's inevitable call.

 

In childhood and youth, death is like plucking a bud or flower, while lifes taking, in age, is like the gathering in of maturity.

 

The passing of C. T. Ingram is like gathering the full ripe grain into the great garner of God. Of this good and noble man it is truely said, he never did a mean thing, in all his life. All his acts were noble and above reproach. It is said by all who knew him that he was a just man, upright in his every dealing, charitable toward all mankind, conservative in business, - truly noble. He tried to make the world better. In the language of another "He was one of the best men we ever met." He worked till the close of his life and his work was well done.

 

Where Eden flowers forever bloom,
His holy spirit makes its home,
Threit shall, forever, be,
In that great eternity.
