REV. LUTHER V. COBB.
Rev. Luther V. Cobb, pastor of the
Overland Park group of churches in St.
Louis county, Missouri, died at St. Mary'3
Hospital, St. Louis, Sunday, April 18. He
had been suffering with severe attacks
occasionally for two years, and more
frequently and severely for the last two
months. He had been in the hospital
for a week, when an operation was found
io oe necessary on rnuay, oui it provea?
insufficient to save his life. He never rallied,
and died on Sunuay morning.
Our church ioses in him one of it*)
strong young men, who promised many
years of usefulness to Tier service. Strong
and apparently healthy till within the
last few weeks, his death is a great shock
to his friends, who can hardly yet realize
that he is gone.
He was a man whom it was easy to
love. He was cheerful, of an agreeable
disposition, of a simple, clear faith, and
of unfailing perseverance.
He endurfd his trials of the last few
months with cheerful patience, and In
his work, which was hard but promising.
he was just beginning to gather his
reward, when ho was called to a higher
reward, for he was a good man, full of
faith. L.
