“Signs of the Times” Primitive Baptist Periodical January 1969 Issue


GEORGE A. PAUL – Jefferson, Co., Ala., Pike Co., Ala.

	With sadness we pen a few words in memory of our much loved brother, 
George A. Paul.  He was born Mar. 12, 1879, to Milton and Edna Dean Paul near 
Troy, Ala., Pike Co., who were of Primitive Baptist faith.
	At an early age, Brother George was given a hope in our Lord and 
Saviour.  He said it took only once for God to make him know he was a helpless 
creature and could do nothing.  God gave him great faith and spiritual 
understanding.  He united with Mt. Zion church in Birmingham, Ala., Jefferson 
Co., 53 years ago.  He came to Birmingham at an early age and made a name for 
himself in the construction business.  As time passed, his faith seemed 
stronger and his spiritual understanding greater.  He firmly believed that God 
had done all things necessary for the saving and preservation of His people.
	He quietly slipped away Apr. 13, 1968, and was laid to rest in Elmwood 
Cemetery to await the resurrection of this body, which he so strongly believed 
in.  He leaves to mourn his precious wife, Mrs. Pearl Ward Paul, and one son 
and six daughters.  We would say to the family:  Sorrow not even as others who 
have no hope, for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so those 
also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him … Then we that are alive and 
remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the 
Lord.  “Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”
	Elder H. C. Moss and Mr. Edward Kimbrough spoke words of comfort to the 
family and many friends who had gathered to pay a final tribute to one who had 
answered the call.  I would commend you unto Him that is able to keep you from 
falling and present you faultless before the presence of His glory with 
exceeding joy.  To the only wise God our Saviour be glory, majesty, dominion 
and power now and forever.
	Submitted in brotherly love and precious hope. – A little sister, Mrs. 
R. A. Hocutt
