DrED-At Davidson College, N. c., on the ,l4th
of June, inst, of Flux, Mr. A. NJ. BARRY, in the
30th year Of his age.
In this sad event we have another proof that
Goods ways are not as our ways" Mr.. BARRY
had been for several years pursuing course Of
classical and collegiate studies, preparatory to the
great work Of preaching the GLORIOUS gospel of
the blessed God" He had just completed his
college term, and expected in few brief weeks
to commence q course of Theological studies His
amiable disposition fair talents, studious habits,
and fervent piety, gave promise of useful future
But he who doeth all things according to the
counsel of his own will, has seen fit to blast the
fond hopes and expectations Of his friends in cau-
sing the sun of his life to set even while it was
yet morning. But we may not call in question
the wisdom, the justice, or the goodness of the
Aiiuise Disposer of events-"The judge Of all the
earth will do right" We cannot but mourn the
early death of one so amiable and 80 promising,
but eve sorrow not as those who have no hope"
He had sought and found the pearl of great price
had obtained go hope through grace" and had
united himself with the Independent Presbyteri-
an Church, of which he continued to be q worthy
and highly esteemed member until his DEATH
During the latter years of his life, his exemplary
conduct won the hearts Of all with whom he came
in contact. For him, "to live was Christ, and to
peaceful, and he now stsleeps in Jesus"
May this event be sanctifed to the spiritual in
terests of all his associates and friends, and to the
Church which he loved so devotedly. c.
DIED-In this place on Sabbath evening" 18th
instant, after a protracted illness, Rev. WILL
LIAM n. JOHNSTON. 90 -.-..-
The deceased was born in Rowan county, N.
c., on the Oath of May, 1919. He was gradu-
ate of Davidson College, and Of the Princeton
Theological Seminary; was licensed by the Pres
bytery of New Brunswick, April 1916; and or
dained by the Presbytery of Cherokee, in June
1916, and took charge of the Churches OF La
Fayette, Pea-Vine and Chickanauga, in the State
of Georgia. To q part of this charge he minis
tered until laid aside from his chosen work by the
hand of his Master. His Affections were contin-
ued through term of nearly eight years, during
two or three of which he occasionally preached
the Gospel, though under great bodily pain and
weakness. Many days of pain and ''wearisome
nights were appointed unto him" But through
out the whole, '.he quieted himself as child that
is weaned of its mother" ssAnd as the outward
man perished, the inward man was removed day
by day" He had long looked death steadily IN
the face and when his approach was announced,
there was no perturbation or alarm. The tyrsnt
had been disarmed, and he gently fell asleep on
the evening Of the day Of rest, as we are firmly
persuaded, to awake in the light of Sabbath,
that shall know no setting sun. With diligence
and fidelity, did our friend and brother perform
the duties of the several relations in lfe towhich
in the Providence Of God he was called. He was
an amisble companion, most afectionate hus-
baud and father, an humble christian and de-
voted and successful minister of the Lord Jesus
Christ. Many friends mourn for him; but the
stroke falls most heavily upon his, beloved part
ner and three little daughters. The God of the
widow and the fatherless be their support, and
exceeding great reward. He 'trests from his
labors, and his works do follow him."
