Dear Brother Brown feel constrained to say
few words concerning one whom 1 received into tull
communion with the church during my pastorate
over Peaks congregation, and whom / loved with
attachment pecunarly strong and tender. 1t was
not long after he aud brother of his, and several
of his companions had partaken together for the first
tune of the Lords Supper, that they went forth to
the field of strife at the cali of their native State
l was with Bennett when he was riding Tor the first
time with his company to charge the enemy. He
told me then. as he had told me when he sought adj
mission to the full privileges of the church, OF his
hopes in Christ his Saviour. During the war his
life was consistent with his religious profession. |
have reason to think that he was less retcent with
me than with any else in reference to his spirit
ual state. My intercourse with him led me to feel
confident respecting his Christian integrity. And
loved him, not only because he the child of pa
rents who, during my residence IN Bedford county,
were to me father and mother, but because of
his kind, genial, cheerful disposition.
God has taken a strong, hale, hearty young man,
from his parents, who had hoped that he would be
spared to be stay and comfort to the family after
their decease, and from a young wife and FIVE help
less little children But he who has taken him will
be the iaher OF the tstherless and the husband OF
the widow.
| have learned that in the beginning of his last
sickness, and before any uneaslness was felt con
eernlng its termination he thought and spoke of the
probability OF dying. He expressed a deep sense of
his sintuness aud his reliance upon Christ alone for
salvation. He said to one with whom he conversed
tree such subjects, 81 have thought more about
holy living this summer than ever before, and have
onged and prayed tor Holiness, and have asked the
Lord to SEND any aHlctlon needed, and then stopped
there and thought, can | sincerely ask this thing?
And then l deliberately repeated the prayer, | so
desired to be better" Said he If this sickness is
an answer TO that prayer, and the Lord is ing to
make me holy, thank him for 1t, if it were hun
dred times worse"
While he wished to get well for the sake of his
wife and children, and that he might set better
example OF cody living he was resigned to the will
OF God When the promises OF God were repeated
to him, he would sometimes say, that's all right
Tor me, now what for Salhe and my poor little ones.
And when the promises of God in reference to the
widow and the orphan were repeated, he would say,
''thsE's all right, can go to steep on that"
May mis- companion in her loneliness and sorrow
be comtorted by these same promises. He had COM
Lauions, some of them members of the church and
some Of them not, In whom l have for many years
taken deep interest. May they profit by this be-
reavement, and be better prepared for the work of
GOD on earth, aud the rest that remaineth to the
people of God. P p
