u william Henderson fell asleep II
Jesus on the 2Gth inst, In the 62ad
y year oi his age, after short but severe
attack Of Urasmis. Mr.. Henderson
was bern on DdPont's Banks, whore be
remained until he engaged as an ap-
prentice In the house painting business.
Shortly after he had attained his major
Iity, he entered into the business with
William Mccall, under the firm nams
Of MCCALL & Henderson. A few years
afterwards he engaged In the grocery
business at Riddles Banks. He snbse-
qusntly relinquished the grocery trade,
and returned to this city, and resumed
the painting business. He worked o
short time as q journeyman, after
which he engaged in business with
James Young, under the firm name Of
Young i Henderson. This firm soon
changed, by the conjunction Of another
partner, to that Of another title, James
Young & Co. and out of this firm, came
the present partnership known under
the firm name Of Carlisle & Henderson,
and has covered . period OF twsnty-One
years. !.
Mr.. Henderson has been q member
OF the Methodist Church for nearly
thirty. five years, and has always had
the confidence and esteem Of all his
brethren. He has filled the Offices Of
class leader, steward and trustee for
number of years in Asbury Church
very acceptably. But ali, that enemy,
that last enemy, that enemy which
shall at last be destroyed, has struck
him down and sent the pangs OF an
guish through affsctionate, but now BE-
rsaved hearts. But let US not sorrow
az others who have no hope, "for We
believe that Jesus died and rose again."
and, "evsn so also, all them which
sleep in Jesus will God bring with him
from the dead" For "God, even our
Father, which brought again from the
dead our Lord Jesus Christ that great
Of the sheep, is bound by his
word and his oath, TO bring back from
the dead all "ths heirs with Christ"
''Por by these two invaluable things It
is impossible for God to lie." Hence,
God, that cannot lie, hath promised
us eternal life before the world began"
So, "whsn this ororuptible shall put
On interruption, and this mortal shall
nave put on Immortality, "then" (but
not before "thsre, shall be brought to
PASS the saying which Is written, death

Then sleep on brother sleep, "
