Departed.

A pulseless form with closed eyes lies
in the Episcopal parsonage awaiting
burial, but the Hfeof Rev. Jas. H, Magoffin
in rich and beautiful functions is still
sdvarciDg. Restful, peaceful sleep,
came to our brother and friend this
morning shortly after six. The wound
occasioned by a nail being driven
through The ball Of the left thumb on
Oct 18th produced erysipelas. Intense
physical pain has been born with Christ
like patience. From the first he said
his hour had come and freely spoke of
his release. Several surgical operations
where made, all that medical skill and
tender affection was capable of, was
done. The watchers dressed the arm
about six when he seemed full Of cheer
full life. In a few moments medicine
was taken to his body-the mOrta,
change had cOme-the physical that had
wrought 80 RObly was dead-but the
fresh strong spirit, relieved of care, toll,
darkness and evil batbed in the sup, eme
fountain of life. To him there is no loss,
horror, entOmbment, corruption, ghOstlv
waiting in lower world or half exist
ence-all is lite-ctema. '3e.
In Schenectady, New York, Jan. 10th,

SORROWS over her unspeakable loss. Two
children are in the eternal life with the
father, while the son +. H., and daughter,

When young man JAS. H. MOgOffin

Fellow, and in both orders he ives
advanced. In Sept. 1882 he beca ne
Rector Of the heroic church now lett
without an under shepherd, and will te
so true to the widow and children. Free
MaSOns and Odd Fellows, are always trae
with sweet, nOise)ess sympathy that
always helps. ChebOygan was pevsr
more shocked over the final departure Of
any one, for truer man, christian, and
worker, never was among us. He was
universally respected and greatly
beloved.
'.but souls that of his own good life partsSe,
He lOveI as his own self: dear as his ere
They QUE to Him; He'll never them forsake;
When they shall die, then God Himself shall die;
They LIVE, they LIVE IN BLEST ETERNITY" l.
