Ed. Jesse 5. Guy, son of Robert and
Charlotte Guy, was born In Oxford,
Ont, Sept. I'd, 1862, and died in Stayner,
| 7 months and 10 days. At the age OF
II years he was clearly converted to
God. but after the lapse of a few years
lost the experience and for six years
made no profession of religion. In the
winter of 1885 he was again restored
and gloriously saved under the labors
of Bro. Kreutziger in Michigan and
soon after that the Lord called him
| into the work. In the spring of 1886
he came TO Markham, Ont, and in that
year he made the experience of entire
| sanctilication. At the Annual Con-
Ference in Maryboro Ont, in 1887 he
was received on probation as minis
ter of the NJ. b. G. Church, and the
year following was sent by the confer
ence to take charge of DOrnoch Mis-
sion. He was ordained to the ministry
at Elmwood Conference in 1890. On
the 18th of January, 1888 he was united
in holy matrimony with sister Eu-
phemia Pool.
AS a minister of the gospel he proved
himself diligent and earnest in the
work. His preaching was clear and
convincing. The theme most promi-
nent i'm all his ministry was holiness, or
entire sanctification, of which doctrine
he was an able exponent, leading many
into the blessed experience OF full sal
walton. The nine years he spent III
the itineracy were busy years, and
years OF earnest and successful work.
With his devoted companion by his
side as helper he made a success of
the ministry on every field of which he
had charge. He loved the work of the
| Lord, as he often expressed himself to
his brethren in the ministry, and to see
sinners saved and believers sanctiiied
afforded him greater JOY than any
thing else. AS a brother in the min
istry he was beloved of all his breth-
rem, and, though outspoken in his con-
victions, he always had due respect for
the convictions of others. He was al
ways thoroughly in harmony with, and
earnestly advocated the doctrines of
the church of his choice. The church
loses ia him one of her ablest workers,
cut down, seemingly, in the midst of
his work, and can only look to God,
trusting that He will raise someone
else in his stead to ill his place in the
church. He suffered more or less from
the disease consumption which re-
suited in his death, for two and half
years, and during the last months his
suffering was at times intense, but in
all his sufferings he never murmured
or complained, but on the contrary his
heart often overlooked with JOY and
gratitude to God for His wonderful
salvation. When asked by his COM
paniOn which he would choose, to stay
longer or to go to heaven he said, If
my work Is done, | would choose
heaven thousand times. May the
Lord comfort and uphold our dear
sister in her sore bereavement, and
may she realize that her beloved com
panion though dead, yet speaketh.
