Rev. I.C.G. Rabun Goes to His Reward
Died in Macon Last Tuesday; Interment in Danville Cemetery.
	Many of our readers will be saddened to hear of the death of Rev. I.C.G. 
Rabun who departed this life in Macon on last Thursday and is now enjoying the 
fruits of his labor.  His remains lie at rest in the Danville Twiggs County 
cemetery, the interment taking place last Friday.
	Up to a few years ago, he and his beloved wife lived on their farm near 
Nashville and were well known and much beloved by our citizens.  Though looking 
after his farm in his superannuated days, he was always ready to preach and his 
sermons were much in demand.
	He spent the strength of his manhood in the ministry, being a member of 
the South Georgia Methodist Conference; part of his life was given to looking 
after the children of the orphanage in Macon.  His labors as a preacher were 
signally blessed of God and all over South Georgia he leaves to revere his 
memory, many spiritual children.
	He was orthodox to the core, the actual word of God being the man of his 
counsel.  He ably defended the faith of the fathers, not tolerating for a moment 
modernism, evolution, or higher criticism that in these later days have crept 
into the pulpit and are pulling down the bulwarks of the church.
	He was a sermon builder to a nicety having Bible doctrines always as a 
foundation.  Yet, he did not rest on the strength of the truth alone, but was 
deeply conscious of the compelling need of the Holy Spirit in all his 
discourses.  Hence he prayed much therefore when he got in the pulpit the hearts 
of his hearers were touched and strangely moved upon as well as their heads 
being informed in the way of life.
	His relatives and friends are not mourning as those who have no hope.  
They know where to find him.
