Sister Old Time Prayer Meeting

Death Notice

Sister Old Time Prayer Meeting died recently at the First
Neglected Church on Wordly Avenue. Born many years ago in
the midst of great revivals, she was a strong healthy child, fed
largely on testimony and scriptural holiness, soon growing into
world-wide prominence, and was one of the most influential
members of the famous Church family. She was a great
influence for good, gathering the multitude of mankind to her
bosom to hear the story of HIM who wore the seamless
garment; a story of never failing interest to all.

For the past several years Sister Prayer Meeting has been
failing in health, gradually wasting away until rendered helpless
by stiffness of knees, coldness of heart, inactivity, and
weakness of purpose and will power. At the last she was but a
shadow of her former self. Her last whispered words were
inquiries concerning the strange absence of her loved ones, now
absent from her presence, busy in the marts of trade and places
of worldly amusements. Her older brother, Class Meeting, has
been dead for many years.

Experts, including Dr. Works, Dr. Re-Form, and Dr. Joiner,
disagreed as to the cause of her illness, administering large
doses or organization, socials, contests, drives and religious
education, but to no avail. A post mortem showed a deficiency
of spiritual food coupled with lack of fasting, faith and change of
heart. Shameless desertion and non-support were contributing
causes. Only a few were present at her death, sobbing over
memories of her past beauty and power. Carefully selected
pallbearers were urged to tenderly bear her remains away but
failed appear.

There were no flowers. Her favorite hymns, "Amazing Grace",
and "Rock of Ages" were not sung. Miss Ima Modern rendered
"Beautiful Isle of Somewhere", but none had any idea where this
fancied isle might be. The body rests in the beautiful cemetery
of Bygone Glories, awaiting the summons from above which
shall bring her, with her blood-washed garments, into the
presence of the GOD of Glory, spotless, blameless and full of
glory. In honor of her going, the church doors will be closed on
Wednesday evenings, save on the third Wednesday of each
month, when the Ladies Pink Lemonade Society serves
refresments to the members of the Men's handball team.

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble
themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their
wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their
sin and will heal their land."
II Chronicles 7:14
