Bat lo l anew and pleasing view, Os Jesus Christ I had, I saw that he’ for such as me, Had lived, and bled, and died* A lively hope did then spring up, And joy unknown before, I thought that I should never die, Nor sin, nor sorrow more* Jesus my Lord I now adored, Ilis words and ways I prized, Nor could I rest, till I professed His name and was baptized. With love inspired, I now desired, To serve him all my days, What would I give, that I could live, Devoted to his praise. SUSAN MARKS. —■ - [Selected for the Messenger.] Sweet Home. Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints, llow sweet to my soul is communion with saints; To find at the banquet of mercy there’s room, And feel in the presence of Jesus at home. Home, home, sweet, sweet home, Receive me, dear Savior, in glory, my home. Sweet bonds that unite all the children of peace, And thrice precious Jesus, whose love cannot cease; Though oft from thy presence in sadness I roam, I long to behold thee, in glory, my home. I sigh from this body of sin to be free, Which hinders my joy and communion with thee ; Though now my temptations like billows may foam, All, all will be peace, when I’m with thee at home. ./V r , /*? . While here in the valley of conflict I stay, 0 give me submission and strength as my day ; In all my afflictions to thee would I come, Rejoicing in hope of my glorious home. Whate’er thou deniest, 0 give me thy grace, The Spirit’s sure witness, and smiles of thy face ; Indulge me with patience, to wait at thy throne, And find, even here, a sweet foretaste of home. I long, dearest Lord, in thy beauties to shine, No more as an exile in sorrow to pine, And in thy fair image arise from the tomb, With glorified millions, to praise Thee at homG. June 19, 1860. * A.

If any travel can be saved by any alteration that the brethren can make, they will please do so; and have them corrected in the Messenger. It is likely that I shall be traveling by public con veyance, and dependent on the brethren to meet me, and convey me from church to church. I shall al ways appreciate the brotherly kindness manifes ted by the brethren while I was in their bounds last summer. I hope again to be filled with the company of many of the dear saints in my second coming among you. My humble but sincere prayer is, that the good Lord may bless us together in heav enly places in Christ, according, (as I hope) he has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, and grant unto us grace, that we may be holy and without blame, before him in love. May the Lord in his mercy, open up the way that we may enjoy refreshing from his presence, is the prayer of your unworthy brother in Christ. M. W. HELMS. Primitive Baptist , please copy. P.

Brethren Beebe & Purington : —Please insert the following obituary of REUBEN DAUGHETY. He was born in Craven Cos., N. C., Dec. 15, 1778, from thence he removed with his widowed mother, - about the year 1800, to Kentucky, on the Green River, where he married Charity Gough, 1801, in about a year or two after, he united with the Baptist church at Sandy Creek Meeting House, and was,, baptized by Eld. Benjamin Talbert, where he re mained till 1818. He moved to South Alabama, where in a short time he commenced preaching a Crucified Savior, which he continued to do, till V-- few months before his death, when his bodily strength • failed. He departed this life Feb. 18, 1860. His disease was a failure of the Urinal Organs, though his Physician thought it was more a wearing down of ! the vital powers than a disease. He was a consistant, Old School Baptist, and publicly contended for the faith once delivered to the saints, about 40 years.— In his last days of weakness, his mind was much ei ercised in the Scriptures, and also much upon his Christian experience the night before be died. HO' 1 was almost constantly quoting Scripture, or trying to sing, ‘, “ Jesus my all to heaven is gone this seemed to be his favorite song. From South’ Ala., he came to this country in the winter of 1829, <• and a few years ago, he settled in Tippah Cos., Miss., where he died, and I have no doubt but that he en tered into that rest that remains for the people of God. Although he was my father, yet amidst my grief, I feel a degree of joy and gladness, that he is gone from the evils and troubles of this world, to meet with Jesus the Christian’s all, and be like him, and sing his praises to all eternity. WILLIAM S. DAUGHETY. Fayette Cos., Tenn., June 13, 1860. Dear Brethren Will you please publish the notice of the death of our son ELI CULP, < who died May 10, 1860, of Pneumonia, after suffering about three weeks, in the 42d year of his sojpurn in. this life. He has left a companion, a son anddatigh to mourn their loss. He had been afflicted with Asthma for the last fifteen years, during which time his health was poor. Our son made no profession of religion, but was an Old School Baptist in sentiment, and during his illness he gave me satisfactory evi dence that he had experienced a change some several years ago, expressed regret that he had not complied with his duty. He believed when he was attacked that he would not recover, but was calm and quite reconciled, therefore we do not sorrow as those who have no hope, for we believe he is asleep in Jesus,. and when he comes will bring him with him, and this comforts our poor hearts, that he is at rest where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest.
