He served his church these many years, without a reference ever being brought against him. Uncle John lived his religeon, in his ever day life, was an ardent believer in this old time faith, a constant reader of the Book of all books, the Bible. He was truthful, honest, his word was his bond. He worked and managed on the square with all men, he only wanted for himself and his family what was fair and right, Met the hardships, disaapointments, and worries, with a manner that could only be had by a true child of GOD.

If you should not make your pease calling and election sure with GOD you can neve be where Uncle John is. He said "I only dread the sting of death, which I believe ever body does," R. B.
