Der, of Consumption, LAWRENCE CARR ROBINSON,
only surviving son of Rev. Stuart Robinson, D. D.,
and Mary E. Robinson.
Lawrence was born at Kanawha c. H., West Va,
March 18th, 1915, so that he was at the time OF
his death, aged twenty-four years, six months and
seventeen days The writer has known him from a
child and always loved him for his intelligence,
amiability and manly Christian bearing. Indeed,
he ever won for himself the love and respect of those
who became acquainted with him, and wherever he
went formed many sincere and intimate friendships.
He received his education in Baltimore, in Louis
ville and finally in Toronto, Canada, being trained,
for the most part under the eye OF his father, who
spared no pains or expense in having him properly
instructed; and so he became good scholar-well
fitted for any station in life which might be opened
to him. At the early age of fourteen, he gave his
heart to God, and followed the Master consistent
and an humble Christian. Thus, an obedent and
loving son, warm friend scholar, refined gem
tleman, and to crown all, sincere Christian he
grew up, and looking forth into the world all spread
out before him with bright ancipatlons, he entered
into his chosen business. But the Lord had deter
mined that his course should not be long, before he
should attain the crown.
One year ago, he married Miss Amelia Owsley,
daughter of E. B. Owsley, Esq, of Louisville, Ky,
and went Immediately with his wife to Florida,
where they remained until this summer when they
went to st. Paul, seeking in these places restora
ton of his health or at least some relief from the
disease which now developed itself in him. 1t was
not generally supposed by his friends that his mala
dy had made very rapid progress, and it was hoped
that he might be spared for time if indeed, he
might not experience considerable relief and be re-
stored to his friends at home again. In September
his parents went to see him at st. Paul, and re-
turned only on Thursday last-not expecting to hear
anything specially unfavorable concerning him. On
Saturday afternoon, however the telegraph brought
the sad and startling announcement to the loved
ones at home, that Lawrence had died at 10 o. clock
that morning. 1t came like the swift thunderbot
in its suddenness and the fond hearts that cherished
him are sorey smitten. These lines are written be.
fore particulars of his death could be received but
none can doubt that he encountered death with for
titude and resting upon the arms of loving Sa.
viour went triumphantly to his reward.
Thus has he passed away in the very bloom of his
young manhood, leaving many sorrowing ones to
mourn his departure. Surely they should not sor-
row as those who have no hope May the Lord give
them grace to realize that he is not dead, but sleep.
eth. In the grief and sadness of this mysterious
dealing of God with them, may they be enabled to
lift their fearful eyes to heaven and say: The Lord
gave and the Lord hath taken away blessed be the
name of the Lord"
For the young wife, father, mother, sisters and
Borrowing relatives many prayers will ascend from
all parts of the land to the Father Almighty that He
will give them abundanty of the Spirit, as a spirit
of consolation, OF submission and of faith.
