Rev. Sam'l Leard, the Oldest minister
of the South Carolina Methodist Con-
ference, died al the home of bis son IL.
S. Leard in Raleigh N. G., on March
Sth. Mr.. Leard was much beloved in
our town and vicinity, not only by those
of his own persuasion but by many of
different faith and order" The
Southern Christian Advocate of last
week pays beautiful and loving trib-
ute to his memory, from which we ex-
tract the following touching lines
"Sleep, weary and worn pilgrim, sleep
the sleep of Gods beloved. Toll and
trial are all past. Eternal rest is thine.
Fold the hands, close the eyes, and let
our father sleep. Let US walk softly
not that we may rouse him-but in rev
erence of the sanity soul that has FALL
en- on sleep in Jesus. Let us gently
kneel in truest submission and surest
faith, and let US again pledge ourselves
so to live that we shall 'go To him"
when the watchers say of us-"he is
dead"
