The illness of the deceased was long and wca-

gradual departure allowed him. saying it was

was poor unworthy sinner and that all his hope
was in Jesus Christ. The community mourn

remember how heavily their temporal and spiritu-
al welfare lay upon dear fathers heart in his
last hours. E. b. TEAGUE.
