Grow old along with me! The be ~ t is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made: Our tines are in His tand \1o saith, "A vThole I rla11ned, Youth shows but half; trust God: See all, nor be afraid!"
All that is, at all, Lasts ever, past recaJl; Earth changes, but thy soul end God stand sure: What entered int o thee, That was, is, and shaJl be: Time's wheel runs back or stops: Potter and clay endure.
. So take and use thy wcrk;
Ar.1end what flaws nay lurk,

\fuat strain 6' the st-c.ff, what warpings past. the aim!
My t~es be in Thy hard!
Perfe ct the cup as plEnned!
Let ag e approve of youth, and de ath caoplete the s~e!

OBITUARY
Brother Granderson Green was born in Aikens, South Ce.rclin8., Septenber 26, 1885. He was the son of Mr. Louis Green and ~~rs. Hagar Green. At an early age, his parents moved tn Moro, Arkansas.
On August 11, 1907, Mr. Green was united in marriage with Miss Mattie Clemncns. In love and happiness this union was closely knitted until his death, October 2, 1965. To their union, two daughters were born, Hrs. Evely Green Freeman and Miss Lennie Carl Green. Each of whon re:presel!ts finer womanhood at its highest .
During his stay in More~ Brother Green joined the St. Paul Baptist Church wllere he was ordained to the Deaconship becaus~ of the ereat Christian virtues he exhibited. There he served until 1912. In that year, he moved his family to Atlanta. Shortly after coming tc Atlanta, he and his family joined the Providence .
Baptist Church. By vrtue of the fine Christian life he again exhibited, the Providence Baptist church appointed him to the Deac0nship and the Trustee Board. In these capacities he gloriously served until his death. Although his health began failing him in his latter years, he continued to serve faithfully and ncbly until his death. His 53 years of residence in Atlanta indeed bespeak gloriously the fine qualities of Christian manhood in his frunily, in his church, in civic bet~er.ment to his city and to his Gcd.
The peace of God ever be with him, and may his ~reat service for 0ur God be a shining light to us vrho knew hin!
