Rev. Edward Davis.

On Saturday morning. January 9th.
at 6 O'Clock, Rev. Edward Davis. of
Newark, fell asleep in Jesus, aged So
years and months. Although he had
been failing for months, and those about
him knew he would be called Home ere
long. yet when the summons came it
was unexpected. He had been very
bright and chefrful Friday evening and
retired feeling as well as usual. but be-
tween the hQhrsof five and six Saturday
morning h1 devoted companion heard
him struggling. and placing her hand
upon hlY TO arouse him, found the
death dew gathered ON his brow God
had called him Home. Mr. Davis was
member of the Wilmington Confer
ence. but was on the superannuated list
the last few years of his life. The last
time he attended Divine service at
church. the sacrament of the Lord s
supper was administered, and while he
stood with trembling limbs and palsied
hands pronouncing benedicti0n on the
communicates. it was evident TO those
who witnessed the scene. that it was
the last time he would commune until
he reached the church triumphant above
to sit down at the Lords table with His
Father in Glory. He will be sadly miss
ed by the community. but our loss is his
gain. His life was one grand example
of Christian religion. While we extend
to the sorrowing ones our heartfelt
sympathy, we rejoice to know that he
has gone TO reap the reward of the faith
full. blessed are the dead who die in
the Lord" His remains were taken to
Bridgeville. Del Tuesday morning and
