which he had long been earnestly
seeking. His suffering was short
but very severe. AS he had hoped,
he had but a brief time to remain
IN bed-less than a week. He re-
manned conscious to the last hour,
giving frequent and clear testimony
that all was well. He made all the
arrangements for his funeral and
burial, which were carried out as
nearly as possible. He died on
Saturday about half past twelve,
and Monday afternoon Rey. S. x.
Arbuthnot, his pastor, held prayer
and praise service at the cottage.
He was then carefully laid away in
the Odd Fellows cemetery IN Oak

him as being forever with the Lord.
